Description, Features & Specifications

Description

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.)

  • Also expected to fit First Strike T15 with modifications to release follower

  • Intended for .68 caliber 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.

Key features

  • 32-round capacity for .68 cal & many shaped projectiles

  • Adjustable spring tension (no spring swaps)

  • Tool-less open/load/clean design

  • Fully mechanical — no batteries/electronics

  • Modular/removable feed neck for broader marker compatibility

  • Separated winder & ball release for smoother feeding

  • Magfed + less-lethal ready (verify fit & function for specific launcher models)

What’s NOT included

  • Marker or launcher (sold separately)

  • Projectiles (paint/less-lethal rounds)

  • Any electrical components

XTREME Returns

As a small business, we face a choice: we can either raise all of our prices to cover the cost of returns, or we can keep our prices low and offer an optional Return Guarantee. We chose the second option because it's fairer to you. That $5 goes directly toward the logistics of a pre-paid return, meaning you get a "no-questions-asked" experience without us having to inflate the cost of every item in our shop. It keeps us independent and keeps your wallet happy. When you shop with us, your order isn’t just a number—it’s handled by a small team that cares about the gear we sell. Because we don't have the massive overhead of a giant company, we use this $5 guarantee to bridge the gap. It provides you with a pre-paid, priority return path, ensuring that if you need to send something back, we can process it immediately and get your refund or exchange moving. Thank you so much for understanding.
