Additionally, if you must stick with a 35-round drum, keep in mind that the springs in these things do wear out and cause misfeeds. (Roughly half of my dozen drums are in this sorry condition.) In that case, you may want to check out replacement springs from Out of Darts. They are inexpensive but reputedly worthwhile. I'd certainly invest in them if I weren't more focused on other Nerf things.

And another thing: I read somewhere that for an effective combat layout, your first magazine can be a 35-round drum but subsequent mags are recommended to be regular stick types. The reason is because the latter stack better in pouches and load-bearing vests. Example: a 35-drum is already at least double-width, but two 22-sticks arguably provide more ammo in roughly the same space.
