A more rare 'extended horn' gets you 40. 
But a drum 
gives you 75!
Here's my AKM 
What do you guys think? Drum or horn? Any AK owners here, or anyone who's ever fired one? Or other guns too. I've seen a M-16 with a drum not too long ago... |
My understanding is that the main reason the 7.62 mini gun isn’t used much in ground ops is the weight of the ammo required to feed it.
I think weight may be a factor in using this drum mag in a tactical situation, also there is the time required to re-load the drum and maybe its size might be a problem.
