He was only able to put like 30 rounds in it, but I suspect and hope it fits more then that.
It's true you have to load each round one at a time and work the lever on the magazine with each round just like on a Russian or Romanian RPK 75 round drum. The real goofy thing about this drum is the last few rounds in the drum don't make it to the top of the magazine so you will never fire off all your rounds. It's hard to explain, but there is nothing to help get the last remaining rounds to the top of the magazine. It's a cool item to have, I just wouldn't use it if I had to fight the fight.

Very interesting and thanks for the info. When I next run some T2k face to face I think that the PCs might find one of these Firepower mags at some point, just so that I can increase the chances of them having a jam etc!
