    1. At last, a real high capacity drum clip device on the civilian market. Ideal purchase for everyone in LA and NYC.

      Wait ’til the anti-gun hoplophobes get wind of this… they really will be beating the “weapons of war” drum, if they weren’t already.

      I have no practical use or current range/shooting setup that can allow for one, but damn would it be cool to own.
