Forty disc drum

The forty disc drum is a Nerf disc drum that was released in 2012 under the Vortex series

It comes packaged with the Pyragon and its Vortex VTX re-release.

Details
As the name suggests, the forty disc drum holds up to forty XLR Discs.

The drum has four chambers that advance automatically when each are emptied, but only do so when a special "unload" slide, located on the stalk, is pressed down when inserted into the blaster. When the unload slide is pressed down, it unlocks the drum so that the chambers are able to advance when emptied. The unload slide is activated when the drum is inserted into the Pyragon or any other magazine-compatible Vortex blaster.

The drum's chamber number shown on the clear window below. The chamber number also appears on the top of the blaster, close to the red knob.

Reloading
To reload the drum, insert twenty discs and then slide the red thumb-switch to advance to the second chamber. After the second chamber is filled with seven discs, slide the red thumb switch on the inner part of the drum to advance to the next chamber. Continue filling the third and fourth chambers in the same way.

Color schemes
The forty disc drum has been released in the following color schemes:


 * Vortex (black and orange)
 * Vortex VTX (black and green)

Trivia

 * It has the highest ammo count out of any disc-holding device.
 * Chamber one is essentially a twenty disc magazine. The top of the drum uses the standard Vortex design that has one chamber extending into the blaster.
 * Since the second, third, and fourth chambers each hold seven discs, the drum actually holds a total of forty-one discs.
