Spanish term or phrase: proveedor de fusil
This is some type of equipment for a rifle. I have searched on Google and I am wondering if it means "reloader," but not being a gun expert, I would appreciate confirmation of this or another suggestion. Here is one hit from Google:
"el proveedor 5.56 es curvo y alberga 35 cartuchos, el diseño del proveedor es derivado del fusil Stoner-63"

[ammunition/cartridge] clip/magazine


Explanation:
I believe both terms are used...for most automatic and semi-automatic rifles, handguns, and machine guns....regardless of caliber.
Luck!
