Great pictures. I especially love the images depicting the Burp Guns with 70 round drum magazines in action. Those drum mags. were bulky and
extremely slow to load.
I always thought that those drums were phased out in favor of more reliable and easy to carry stick mags. Every burp gun in the pics had a drum mag.
Interesting. I guess the soldiers preferred the drums. Interesting.
here is a pic of an open drum. Can't imagine dealing with this in a high stress situation.
