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.
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”
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.
