I read somewhere that there was a way to make a custom drum mag for my rifle, out of a coffee can.

I've tried a bench grinder and sharp scissors to cut the can down to size, no prevail.

Does anyone out there know an easy, simple way to cut metal, besides the guy at the hardware store? Are saws any good?

a hack saw might work pretty well, as would metal sheers.

I don't know about drum mag out of a coffe can, but DJMikeOz made one for his UTG MP5 out of an empty CD spindle and stock UTG HiCap.

Here's a link to similar project for G36:

Yeah I got that Idea from someone else. DDG I think. Really easy to do, but mine looks kinda silly.

i made a m16 one that worked ok i just needed a higher torque motor all i did was thake the outside off of the highcap and used a printer motor to turn the winder wheel. then i made a m16 chape cut out to fit around the mag. from ther i hot glued th emotor mount to the mag shape and made to hopper type things on the sides and took 2 100ct cd spindles cut and glued them together and put a door bell button on the bottom to activate it .
