Recon_Ninja_985 n-n-Dimethyltryptamine drums on the steyr aug are unheard of in actual military operations... in fact, a drum magazine on anything other then a dedicated clearance shotgun or LMG is ******** pointless... Actually, strike that. Drum magazines in general are pointless. They're bulky, mess with the balance of a weapon, and promote poor shooting in an operator. 30 round stick should be all you need, if you REALLY need that much firepower then tape a couple together if there's anything you particularly would like to know about the aug, feel free to ask. I've spent a lot of time with that particular platform. I wouldnt say drums are bad... they make the lightest of LMG's possible. the RPK is a great weapon and the MG36 is a great weapon too even non LMG drumfed guns like the Suomi and PPSH are excellent guns.
ETA: Oh yeah, and the PPSh drum mags were giant piles of s**t and fail. If you loaded them to capacity, they'd doublefeed the first ten rounds, and even if you didn't, they'd still jam like mad. That's why they replaced them with the 32-round sticks. |

Outside of LMGs, no weapon needs a drum mag. the only situation in which fire needs to go downrange without being effective on a target is to suppress infantry movements - something no short weapon would ever do.
and even when it comes to an LMG, belts are far more versatile and man-portable. clumsy drums are clumsy. |

The RPK doesn't really have a drum magazine, it just has a round belt carrier. And last I heard, the MG36 kinda fizzled and barely hit production, because the Bundeswehr went "lolno, MG4".

as for the others....meh |

The problem with drums is that good ones weren't made until recently. for the longest time, drum magazines had a horrible reputation for jamming, rattling, and being an overall nuisance. Not sure about AK drums, but the first good one NATO ever saw was the C-Mag. |
