Are drum mags really worth buying, when theres lots of rumors of them, causing jams due to the weight of the magazine?

Yeah you should ignore everyone's advice and buy a 75 round drum mag for you clock.

From what I heard, it's not the weight of the magazine it's mostly the springs and contruction. IIRC box mags are the same but better for a little less ammo.
You should mainly use thirty-round magazines (loaded with no more than 29 bullets each), but, in addition to all of those thirty-rounders, you should also carry a hundred-round drum magazine... as your *last* reload. With the smaller magazines, you can count rounds easier (or by feel), but round-counting is a bit trickier with the much higher capacity magazines, so you might as well save the bad round-count for when you won't have a fresh magazine to reload with.
>you might also want one so that you may occasionally serve as a sort of ersatz saw gunner laying down lots of fire at once.
What kind of bitchmade rifle platform are you using that you can't even fully load your mags?
>platform
It's not the "platform" (rifle); it's the magazine springs, which is especially true if your mags are all well used "military surplus" or just cheap. Stuff a full load of 30 (or sometimes 31) rounds in there, again & again, and you're stretching the springs just a *little* too far, making metal fatigue set in sooner, resulting in misfeeds among the last five or so rounds sometimes.

Nah bro you do it because with some mags they won't seat into the mag well correctly when fully loaded while having the bolt closed. Happened with my pmags so much I just went back to tan followers.
You just announced yourself as one of those guys who loves guns and doesnt know shit about them.
Pretty much all rifle magazines should never be loaded fully. If you got a 30 rounder you put in at most 29, 28 is smarter.
Thats why I bought several 35 round mags years ago. Of course if I had known there was gonna be hoarding of magazines I'd have purchased dozens.
Gay retard
I didn't realize I traveled back in time to 1969.
You havent.
I've been taking rifle classes from a variety of people for about 6 years now. Instructors dont agree on everything but they all agree a 30 round magazine should have no more than 29 rounds. 28 is better.
And before you ask the obvious, yes most of them are marines and soldiers with field time. Most were even instructors while on active duty.
Look at these gay retards slurping up the fuddlore like it’s gospel.
fudds gonna fudd
Aww, its cute how ignorant stupid you are. Probably meshes nicely with your anger.
Why dont you go murder a bunch of unarmed liberals?
That will cheer you up!
This, either rifle is fucked, or one of the mags is fucked. There should be no issue loading a mag to it's designated capacity
Literally never had a problem with any of my mags being fully loaded. The only malfunction I had was with my ar15 in the fucking snow while my ak's operated fine.
drum mags aren't really convenient to carry outside of your gun ( is fucking retarded) but they're a fun toy, so why not
quality ones are reliable, just impractical to carry, think about how many 30 round magazines you can fit in the space picrel takes
This is only relevant if you're a milfag stuck with the shitty worn out mags you got issued. If you're a civilian and you download your AR mags, you're either retarded or need to just buy new ones because they're on their way out. Pmags are like $12 bucks each, so are surefeeds.
you've got it backwards retard. the drum should be your first magazine because the fight is unlikely to last a full reload and they're a bitch to carry on your person

I have a couple of the OEM 30 round Glock mags. Haven't had any issues with it. I wouldn't trust a drum. I see the 30 round mags as a novelty as it is, a drum is basically a toy.
I had two 50 round drums for a Glock. Absolute garbage. Ram mostly fine the first time but got progressively worse each time as the spring got weaker. Also unlike a box mag you can’t leave them fully loaded. Some AK drums have a wind up feature so you can leave it loaded and tension it when you need it. Overall definitely only for rifles, and frankly as a novelty at best I wouldn’t trust my life to one.
Is it worth it getting drum mags for rifles. I love them, but it seems box are just way better, Tommy guns, and the gun the zaku machine gun was based on makes me want drums though.
Do you often get in situations were you fight 5+ people alone?
If not 30 rounders are just right.
i dont see Russians or Ukrainians using drum mags. i see a lot of 40 round mags.
I'll try to find it, but there was a telegram vid I seen the other day, where a Uke had a drum mag in the background. A real, blink-and-miss-it type deal though.
Preferred mag of school shooters, terrorists, drug dealers and fudd LARPers everywhere.
Underrated post
Aren't drum mags for glocks unsafe?
I remember seeing a video where a little girl was playing with a glock that had a drum mag, and she ended up shooting her brother in the back of the head. I think they were both under the age of 10.
Please tell me you are only pretending to be retarded.
It's a gun, it's not supposed to be safe.
arguably the drum mag could've been less reliable so it could be more safe
either way this is retarded
There are reliable ones out there but they cost a lot for what they are and as others mentioned they're impractical to carry. I'd still keep a couple around in case laying down heavy fire takes priority over the numerous advantages of running typical to the platform.
>rumors
you mean "reports"
I got a 60 round Pmag and while it works fine on the range I do not think I'd trust my life to it.
Actually it would be cool to have on a supressed subgun with hollow points for drone hunting.
I'm confident in shooting one down with a CZ scorpion or MP5.
Low recoil help for follow up shots and you still have full auto for back up, and they're easier to reload than a rifle size drum.
Retard
Dude just use a fucking shotgun at that point
I want consistency in my shots and I'm not an armlet that can't lift his gun to the sky.
Is your shot gun able to hit consistently at 50+yards? Only by luck.
My Magpul SR drum has never had an issue, but 50 rounds of 7.62x51 is heavy as fuck. I mainly use it when practicing shouldering/sighting at home. Think of it like swinging a weighted bat.
I bought one after researching the reliability and comments, but for a fun gun PCC. Not sold on them for 5.56, I have some Surefire 60’s which can be more easily carried.
Look at rap videos anon. Oh, don't deny it. The only idiots who show off pistol drums are moron drill rappers. Anywho, look at them. Notice the fake ass rappers are waving the drums around, but the actual shooters and killers jumping around in the background waving actual guns are all using extended mags. And not those dumb ass clear ones either, the name grand glock mags.
The idea of letting off 50, 75, or a 100 rounds might seem cool. But the guys who actually use guns with regularity and depend on them working to live or die aren't using gimmick shit.
