Real steel drums don't hold 2500 rounds. But you have to ask, is it on there because they're using that ammo to suppress? Or is it on there because they don't want to reload as often?
Using a drum on a rifle is like using a midcap on an airsoft gun, except a real gun may overheat if you shot off the whole drum in one burst. But some people just want to reload less without having to wind a hicap.
The only reason we let LMG's in airsoft have 2500 round box mags is to account for the fact that BB's don't cut through bush like real bullets, and in theory you could actually have a 2500 round belt.
