I mean this thing would be beyond impractical, right?
If I recall the largest PPSh drum magazines held about 70 rounds. And it is a very fast firing SMG with a cyclic rate of 1,250 rounds per minute. Meaning any one of those guns is gonna be empty after about 3-4 seconds.
Unless they flew over extreme concentrations of troops to target, the juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze. Changing mags would be difficult or impossible mid flight
If you set them to single-fire (giant asterisk) or three-round burst, it’d be a fantastic way to perforate an area instead of a line. Maybe mix-and-match so each pull gets you a dense wavefront, then a thinner hail of bullets, and then a couple streams that stop working shortly after contact with the enemy.
At the very least, have a separately-triggered one in the middle, set to single-fire and filled with tracers. Walk it in to be about right… and “about right” will get the job done.
