Re: Academy today!!
I was at Academy just a little bit ago and the place was slammed. Most of their Glocks were sold out and the rifles were thinning by the minute. I had to ask for .380 ammo and he had to crack open a box to get some. It was the busiest I've ever seen it.

It's all about weight, space and cost.WildBill wrote:Why the military doesn't use them I don't know for sure. I have read that the drum magazines are not as reliable - maybe they don't meet mil specs. They are probably uncomfortable and heavy to carry. It could also have something to do with logistics - I would think a drum magazine would be less efficient to package/crate/store and ship than flat magazines. Probably one of the active or ex-military guys on the forum will have a better answer.Thomas wrote:I don't feel like biting the bullet on a drum magazine yet. I'll have to do my research on those first. There's probably a reason why the military doesn't use them (that I know of). It seems like they would only be good in a "mow down" situation. I don't have any dead cars that need to be scrapped, and it would waste bullets in a zombie scenario.
