I can think of two very good (and one marginal) reasons why you wouldn't want to use it:
1. 150/200 rounds is over half of your basic load what happens if the drum jams? Sand fucks up everything.
2. How do you cross-load ammo?
3. How well does it feed into a M249? (like I said marginal)

Anything that holds bullets, costs $650 and doesn't have it's own trigger and firing pin is a waste of money.

Plus it kinda of defetes the purpose of a "light" weapon......

Some 3 Gun competition shooters use them. Even when they're babied and used under ideal circumstances, they can still have reliability issues.

Re: 150 Rd Drum for M4
There was another contractor I worked with a few years back with too much money on his hands that bought one. Made no sense to me since we had plenty of SAW's to go around. Took it to the range and soon found out it was junk.
