or hi capacity or large capacity refers to the number of rounds contained in a magazine though there is no universal definition regarding what is considered high capacity 89 high capacity is separately defined in laws 90 for example in the united states the now expired federal assault weapons ban of 1994 included limits regarding magazines that could hold more than ten rounds as of 2024

well as repeating and semi automatic guns with fixed two round magazines when the 1988 act was introduced many guns with larger often tubular magazines were brought into compliance by crimping the magazine 96 united states edit further information assault weapons legislation in the united states gun laws in the united states by state and gun politics in the united states william b ruger a founder of sturm ruger co is often ascribed with providing the impetus for high capacity magazine restrictions ruger proposed that instead of banning firearms congress should outlaw magazines holding more than 15 rounds 97 no honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun ruger told tom brokaw of nbc news in 1992 98 99 on march 30 1989 ruger sent a letter to every member of the us congress stating the best way to address the firepower concern is therefore not to try to outlaw or license many millions of older and perfectly legitimate firearms which would be a licensing effort of staggering proportions but to prohibit the possession of high capacity magazines by a simple complete and unequivocal ban on large capacity magazines all the difficulty of defining assault rifle and semi automatic rifles is eliminated the large capacity magazine itself separate or attached to the firearm becomes the prohibited item a single amendment to federal firearms laws could effectively implement these objectives william b ruger 100 the national rifle association nra and the national shooting sports foundation nssf say defining magazines with capacities greater than nine rounds as high or large capacity is mislabeling 101 the nra institute for legislative action nra ila claims that magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds are standard capacity and dispute the definition of

2004 study examined the impact of the federal assault weapons ban 1994 through 2004 which included a prohibition on sales of magazines with capacities over ten rounds the authors wrote that the ban was not associated with a reduction in firearm homicides or the lethality of gun crimes in general they suggested this may have been due to the concurrent rise in the use of large capacity magazines with non banned semiautomatic weapons the authors noted that high capacity magazines have a greater potential for affecting gun crime due to the fact that they are also used in firearms not classified as assault weapons they added however it is not clear how often the ability to fire more than 10 shots without reloading the current magazine capacity limit affects the outcomes of gun attacks overall the authors reported that there had been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence based on indicators like the percentage of gun crimes resulting in death or the share of gunfire incidents resulting in injury as we might have expected had the ban reduced crimes with both aws and lcms 151 a 2019 rockefeller institute of government study found no statistically significant association between state level lcm bans and homicide rates 152 a 2020 rand corporation review of seven studies on the impact of lcm bans on violent crime rates found inconclusive evidence for the effect of high capacity magazine bans on total homicides and firearm homicides 153 on mass shooting rates and lethality edit further information mass shootings in the united states a 2019 study examined the effect of large capacity magazine lcm bans on the frequency and lethality of high lethality mass shootings defined as those resulting in six or more fatalities in the united states from 1990 to 2017 of the 69 high fatality mass shootings in the u s over that period at least 44 64 involved lcms 154 attacks involving lcms resulted in a 62 higher mean average death toll than mass shootings in which high capacity magazines were not used states which had banned high capacity magazines had a substantially lower incidence of mass shootings as well as far fewer fatalities in mass shootings the incidence of high fatality mass shootings in non lcm ban states was more than double the rate in lcm ban states the annual number of deaths was more than 3 times higher 154 the study acknowledged that because 69 incidents over a 28 year period was for statistical purposes a relatively small number and limits the power to detect significant associations it was possible that the magnitude of the effects detected was overestimated 154 the study authors did not have the statistical power and thus did not even try to determine whether different aspects of the various lcm laws might have differential effects on the incidence of high fatality mass shootings 154 a 2020 study examining fatal mass shootings in the u s for the period 1984 2017 found that when controlling for other variables lcm bans and handgun purchaser licensing laws were associated with a significant reduction in fatal mass shootings while assault weapon bans background checks and de regulation of civilian concealed carry were not 155 see also edit belt firearms bottom metal jungle style firearm magazines list of 3d printed weapons and parts notes edit the follower is the sheet metal part
