Revert the PPD-34/38 magsize change

Kinda explained in first comment, since even winland that had no issues with these magazines regarding interchangeability for example usually loaded these with 69-70 to ensure the feeding.
So one could assume, if the optimum load is 69-70 or even less then perhaps the 73 capacity most likely aint really working out ?

Yeah, perhaps they were missing the lathe to make exactly 73 round cardboard boxes ?
Or logistically could not supply troops as magazine could hold 73 rounds but cardboard boxes only contained 71 ?
Makes much more sense.

So you agree that we can’t really know without documentation? All we can do is infer and assume.

We need a new troll, this one broke

Documention as like the original users of the said drum loaded it with 69-70 to ensure feeding ?
The exact drum mag that sovjets copied technically 1:1 ?

Yeah, logistical issues due to +2 mag capacity makes much more sense.

One that used a different feeding system and different cartridge… yes… would be pretty silly to assume that they wouldn’t do any tweaking or modifications to it…



Well will you look at that, the internal measurements aren’t a 1:1.

What am I doing here? OH, that’s right, I’m spit-balling alternative possibilities, a type of inference. I haven’t ever said it couldn’t be what you’re proposing, nor that it it isn’t the most likely (which it is).

So stop fucking acting as if I’m some idiot screeching that “nO iT cOuLdN’t pOsSiBlY hAvE bEeN bEcAuSe oF rElIaBiLiTy iSsUeS”

Idk, far as I know both have spring loaded magazine and bolt catches the cartridge when it moves forward.

Oh snap, it is now technically entirely different magazine and does not have the same working principle.

You could have said that they decreased capacity due to unicorns ?
Would have made more sense tbh

That’s all feeding systems…

Me: It’s not 1:1
You: So you’re saying it is now technically entirely different magazine and does not have the same working principle.
Get real

Honestly I think you’re just looking for a fight at this point…

To any mod reading this: please close this thread, this is gonna go on forever otherwise.

So not so different after all ?

Technically, working principle is literally same 1:1 copy.
But as you said, there are dummy rounds and if we also consider the fact that cartridge is different.
Then it must be entirely different thing and none of the same principles applys.

It has a completely different magwell… The more you fucking type the more I’m convinced that you’re either a troll or someone who just wants to have a verbal fight for some reason…

Ah, so you’re saying that no matter the configuration, scale, and alterations, it’s always gonna be 71 rounds no matter what, got it.

Closed as per OP request.
