Gogiants 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 As a noob I can't understand why a 20 rd drum is needed. What is the advantage to that over spending an equal amount of money and getting 5 or 6 stick mags with 10 or 12 round capacity? I think it is cool, but what advantage does it offer? Thanks, Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mwessel 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Big +1. Why have either of these....because I can and they are the Mac Daddy's in their class. And besides when the 13th zombie comes at me I'll still be plugg'n away and not reloading a mag. (They only run in packs of twenty) Edited April 8, 2009 by JCKPT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 the stick mags STICK out real far, and don't look as cool. You can't run 3" shells in the drum... there are pros and cons to each. The main thing is you'll have 20 rounds and no reload. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmax4x4 68 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 because some folks don't want you to have them that is part of the fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gogiants 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 That's what I thought. I agree too, they are cool. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hammer 15 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 In competition use, drum is much more handy than long stick in many stages. And of course, 20 is always 20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Why a 20rd Drum? Because you can get a 10rd Tube-fed shotgun, but they can't touch 20 rounds... the fuckers! Imagine a 55" tube to accommodate 20 rds. Yes, this is my 55" BBL Benelli. It's great for capacity. Yes, this is my 19" BBL Saiga, It's also great for capacity. Saiga > Benelli or Berreta Boom end of discussion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yes, this is my 19" BBL Saiga, It's also great for capacity. It's a lot of firepower in a small package, for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kmoore 3 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 There are a couple of good answers to this question. Because the 50 round drum overheats a shotgun Because the skeet shooters were startin to get used to the appearance of occasional stick fed saiga;) But the only one that really matters .... because obama and friends don't want me to have one!!!! Seriously, I don't know if I'd have gotten into firearms as deeply 8 years ago if there hadn't been a ban that rubbed me the wrong way so bad!!!! In some ways the AWB is responsible for a little arsenal at my house!!!! It's my own little counter culture revolution! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinsen 86 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 You can go prone with a drum, but not with a 12 round mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) When my drum arrived yesterday, my wife opened the package and exclaimed, "You bought a landmine?!?!" I explained that while it wasn't a landmine it could sure as hell blow the hell out of shit like a landmine, to which she replied, "That thing looks evil!" 20 rnds of 12g at your service, just pull the trigger. Liberals hate it. Criminals fear it. A must have gadget for the S12... Yes, you MUST have at least one. It gives me a woody. Cool factor at the range. Cool factor when your buddy notices it sitting behind the door and drools over it... His wife wouldn't let'im get one. Edited April 10, 2009 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
