Looks cool doesn't it?
XM8 firing the Beta drum.
Transparent drum just to show how it looks inside of it and how it
functions.
www.betaco.com... Videos and pics of this product. Expensive as hell.
Of course, it has problems though as we can read on page 5 and 6 by soldiers who have dealt with the Beta drum, that describes their experience with
it.

It looks all cool, not to mention have a drum mag that fires a hundred rounds compare to having a pouch that carries 3 mags each with 30 rounds
totaling 90 which is 10 short of the drum has. However I hope they be able to deal with the problems with it. Don't know if its dealt with yet.
O yeah heres a video of the XM8 firing the Beta Drum. Don't know if the video still works. Hope maybe somebody else can link to the same video.

Of course America is not the only nation to produce such drums with massive ammo. Russia and China has built such products as well.
