Yes, actually, there was a few 5.45 drums (of various kind), but most were prototypes and only a tiny number was ever issued.

The downside to most drum designs is that they get in the way of the shooter’s weak-side forearm, making it harder to grab the forend of the rifle and thereby support the additional weight of the drum.
Also, they can be noisier (rattle) than a box mag; and heavier as well.

Why wouldn’t you just use a drum mag? 75 rounds and it is proven tech.

Drum mags are quite bulky to store, let alone carry. Judging from the pics, the quad stack magazine have about the same profile as an ordinary AK magazine, just a tad thicker.

That is one beefy looking spring – I hope they supply a mag loader with it.

Looks awsmoe I like the AK-74 with the Kobra Sight. Now if only American companies can make 5.45x39mm ammo thats not agnetic I could shoot that in compation.

i still question the reliability of quad stacking, just so much can go wrong, and as we all know the more complicated something is the easier it breaks and the harder it is to fix.
