How the Belt System Works

The belt system uses a unique design that:

Engages rounds using tabs positioned at the rear of the cartridge
Guides ammunition through a dedicated feed trough
Uses a mirrored internal lid design to help align and push rounds into position

This system helps ensure smoother feeding compared to traditional magazine setups.

Belt-Fed vs Magazine-Fed Gatling Systems: What’s the Difference?

Tippmann’s Belt Lid Kit introduces a major change to how the 9mm Gatling Gun operates—switching from traditional magazine-fed to belt-fed operation.

Both systems have advantages depending on how you plan to use the platform.

Best for simplicity and convenience

Key Differences That Matter
