- description
Drum magazines are usually a compromise: huge capacity, and a filling procedure that involves balancing the thing on its nose with one hand while pouring BBs with the other. Action Army built this one around that complaint.
The front of the drum swings open into a generous mouth, and the whole magazine lies flat on its back while you pour. No balancing act, no funnel, no BBs across the carpet.
It is stated to be lighter and more compact than the WE and Armorer Works drum magazines, which gives a better-balanced fit on a pistol the size of an AAP-01. It is also listed as compatible with most Tokyo Marui clone pistols, so it is not locked to one gun.
There is a safety blow-out valve to protect against over-pressure, and that is why it is green gas only.

Good to know before you buy
Green gas only, and that is a safety limit rather than a preference. The blow-out valve is there to protect against over-pressure and CO2 is not what it was designed around.
This is the most expensive part on the platform by a distance. It is worth it if you shoot a lot of rounds through one gun, and it is not if the AAP is a sidearm you fire twice a day.
No holster will take it. Plan to carry the gun with a standard magazine in and swap when you want the drum.
No weight is published, which is frustrating on a part whose selling point is being lighter than the alternatives. The comparison is made without a figure being given.
Frequently asked questions
How does the fast reload work?
The drum front hinges open into a generous mouth and the magazine lies flat while you pour. No balancing it on the nose.
Can I use CO2?
No. The safety blow-out valve limits it to green gas, and that is stated explicitly.
Will it fit other pistols?
It is listed as compatible with most Tokyo Marui clone pistols as well as the AAP-01 and AAP-01C.
Is it lighter than other drums?
It is stated to be lighter and more compact than the WE and Armorer Works drum magazines. No figure is published for any of them.
Does it affect the balance of the gun?
Less than the alternatives, by the published comparison, but a drum on a pistol is always going to be felt.
What is the blow-out valve for?
It vents if the magazine goes over pressure, which is a protection rather than a feature you will ever use on purpose.
