3. The magazine according to claim 1 , which comprises a web connecting said projectile support to said transport belt.
4. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said projectile supports and said transport belt are formed in one piece.
5. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said transport belt is an elastic belt with elastic properties.
6. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said transport belt is a flat belt of substantially rectangular cross section.
7. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said basic magazine body has a magazine shoe and a frame oriented substantially perpendicularly to said magazine shoe.
8. The magazine according to claim 7 , wherein said frame has at least one column.
9. The magazine according to claim 7 , wherein said frame has at least a first column and a second column.
10. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said transport device includes a first roller rotatably mounted to said frame and at least one second roller rotatably mounted to said frame at a spaced distance from said first roller, and wherein said endless transport belt is laid around and is tensioned between said first and second rollers.
11. The magazine according to claim 9 , wherein said transport device includes a first roller rotatably mounted rotatably mounted between said first and second columns and at least one second roller rotatably mounted between said first and second columns at a spaced distance from said first roller, and wherein said endless transport belt is laid around and is tensioned between said first and second rollers disposed between said first and second columns.
12. The magazine according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of said first and second column has a greater width than a diameter of at least one of said rollers.
13. The magazine according to claim 9 , wherein said columns are formed with hollow-cylindrical protuberances, said rollers are received on said protuberances, and a screw is extended in said protuberances in order to connect said columns.
14. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said transport belt carries a plurality of said projectile supports each oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis, parallel to one another, and parallel to an axis of rotation of at least one roller supporting said transport belt.
15. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein each said projectile support is configured for receiving a projectile formed without a specific propellant charge.
16. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said projectile supports are configured to receive projectiles selected from the group consisting of diabolos, steel balls, BB bullets, or paintball projectiles.
17. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said projectile supports are configured to enable a respective projectile to be transported out of a respective said projectile support by introduction of a gas charge into said projectile support.
18. The magazine according to claim 1 , wherein said magazine is formed with a projectile transfer region configured to transfer a projectile from a respective projectile support to the firearm.
19. The magazine according to claim 18 , wherein said transport device is configured to remove a projectile support from said projectile transfer region and to transport a following projectile support into said projectile transfer region.
20. The magazine according to claim 18 , wherein said projectile transfer region is defined by a respective projectile support projecting from an upper side of said frame.
21. A magazine for a firearm, the magazine comprising:
a basic magazine body removably mountable to the firearm;
a plurality of projectile supports for receiving projectiles, said projectile supports being configured to enable a respective projectile to be transported out of a respective said projectile support by introduction of a gas charge into said projectile support;
a transport device configured to receive said projectile supports movably with respect to said basic magazine body, said transport device including at least one endless transport belt having said projectile supports connected thereto, and said transport device being configured to move said projectile supports in a circuit relative to said basic magazine body.
