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.
