I think that the organizers say that they can refuse to accept guns from some individuals, so if you bring in 20, they might not take them. But two or five....

From the first link below the picture:

“No firearm dealers or pawn shops are allowed to participate, and officers can limit the number of gift cards to individuals.”

Also, there is the possibility that they will run out of funds.

I doubt there would be any problem with turning in five...

Heck the magazines are likely worth $10 each. I would keep the magazines and sell them separately.

I am the (unofficial) armourer for the pawnshop in town that deals in this brand. He calls me to tweak any issues or clean new arrivals he gets in the shop. Of course, I am limited legally on what I can do to them...
Actually this particular model, the magazines are part of the reason the gun is pretty useless. Its very thin stamped steal. One of the fixes for dealing with these was to file a small amount of metal off the top and bend the opening up slightly. The bullets were riding too low in the magazine not allowing the slide to pick one up... or it would pick it up orientated wrong.
Then you had stovepipe after that... then if it didn’t stove, it would fail to eject.
This is new, out of the box. I never shot a full magazine consecutively out of one of these pistols without a failure.
Most guns only work well with very tight tolerances. This gun only works well when tolerances are loose... which gets dangerous.

Its the reason why it only costs $130.
