The Tempest Drum delivers dependable, high-capacity feeding for players, instructors, and teams that demand flexibility and durability. Designed from the ground up for the modern magfed and less-lethal user, Tempest provides 32 rounds of capacity for .68 cal and shaped projectiles while offering unique, tool-less operation and on-the-fly spring tension adjustment so you can run brittle tournament paint or heavier less-lethal rounds without swapping springs.

Why Tempest?

• Adjustable spring tension: Industry-first tension dial lets you soften the feed for fragile paint or stiffen it for heavy solids — no spring changes required.

• Tool-less operation: Open, load, adjust, and clean without tools. Fast, simple, and field-friendly.

• Fully mechanical: No batteries or electronics — built to work in wet, muddy, or dirty conditions.

• Modular feed neck: Removable feed neck + adapter options broaden marker compatibility beyond the T17/M17 G3 family.

• Separated winder & ball release: Intuitive winding and independent ball release for smooth, consistent feeding.

What’s included

• Tempest 32-round drum magazine (assembled)

• Quick-release feed neck (installed)

• User guide — loading, tensioning, and safety instructions

Compatibility

• Designed for MILSIG T17 and M17 G3 platforms (not compatible with older Milsig models such as K-series, legacy M17 A1/A2, SMG, PMC, etc.)

• Intended for .68 calibre paint and many shaped/solid less-lethal projectiles (test fit & tune before field use).

Operation & Use Notes

• Tool-less loading and maintenance — open, load, tune, and close.

• Adjust tension to match projectile type: decrease tension for brittle tournament paint; increase for solid less-lethal rounds.

• Separated winder and ball release make feeding predictable and reduce ball deformation.

Warnings & Important Safety

• Never perform a dry release. Do not disengage the drum while fully wound and empty — sudden spring release can damage the drum or marker feed mechanism.

• Test feed with reduced tension before live use.

• Confirm fitment and secure installation on your specific marker before play.

• Not a firearm magazine — intended for paintball and approved less-lethal projectiles only.
