Airsoft TM AA-12 Drum by DaXLR

My take on a DIY drum for the Tokyo Marui Airsoft AA-12.
The design is based on a M249 box mag.
You will have to disassemble the box mag and only keep the mechanical parts inside. They should come out as one complete module.
Cut it down to shape and shorten the feed tube to fit. It's all very straightforward and assembly can be done by press-fitting. Refer to the included picture.
Use 3mm pins to hold the lock in place and self tapping screws for the cover (I used some Spaenaur #7 x 1/2)
For operation I recommend re-wiring the whole thing and feeding the motor straight from a 9V using a remote push-button. The included sound-detection circuit is not fast enough to keep up with the AA-12 and will overheat on 9V.
I simply drilled the back of the drum and placed my button there, but you can wire it to a 3.5mm jack for example to be able to use aftermarket remote buttons.
