DND to acquire 5.56mm M27 links

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 8): DND to acquire 5.56mm M27 links

The Department of National Defense (DND) on Monday announced that it is allocating Php10,697,895 for the acquisition of 5.56mm M27 links, which are intended for the use of the 5.56mm light machine guns of the military.

Winning bidders are required to deliver the items within 90 calendar days.

The M27 link is formally known as Link, Cartridge, Metallic Belt, 5.56mm. The M27 is a disintegrating metallic bullet link issued by the United States armed forces and designed for use in belt-fed firearms.

It holds 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. It was first developed for the Stoner belt-fed machine gun in Vietnam but was later resurrected and adapted for use with the FN Minimi LMG/M249 squad automatic weapon.
