Well.... after using the 30 rounders in multiple rifles over multiple range trips without issue I had hope until the drop tests. The 50 round drum never seemed to work regardless (shown in video). Although; AKOU has one that seems to run well so who knows....

Like gas station sushi, I was intrigued but cautious about these when I heard about them. AK purists like to dump on Magpul for not reinforcing the lips on the M3 mags but their reasoning behind not doing it makes sense.
