Back to the accessories depicted... I think that the trommel was made for the Japanese We reproductions. Those were all metal construction with full mechanical function. They fire a PfC round, whereby the cartridge is knocked forward by the firing pin, to encounter a pin in the chamber of the bbl, which sets off the charge in the NOSE of the special cartridge. This charge is sufficient to fully cycle the action, and shoot some sparks and smoke through the vent in the barrel. Since the PFC cartridge is the same size and shape as a 9x19 FMJ, 9mm Luger ammo would fit into their mags, though--as Tom points out--not necessarily the mag into the mag well of a real Luger. Drum mags, even from replica guns, are a bit on the pricey side. A 10 round (NY legal) for my Thompson is priced at almost $200.
