I need high cap mags because I miss a lot.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I don’t have any high cap mags. They were all lost in that boating accident I had last summer.

[mountainlion]

I can see the sign now!

DUE TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MAGAZINE BANS

HO WARNING SHOTS WILL BE FIRED!

[PMAS]

What’s a “HO” warning shot ?

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

What’s a “HO” warning shot ?

An advance notice that a hooker is approaching? ;)

[grobdriver]

Warning shots fired at hos, of course.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Hi Cap Mags are fun. I can make heap big noise.

Yeah, ban high capacity magazines. That will solve the problem and prevent all deaths in a gun free zone. /sarc

they can not get around the taking without compensation clause of the constitution.

if they ban all they have to BUY ALL AT MARKET PRICE!

I remember in Vietnam getting a 30 round magazine for my M16. The first time I ever used it, it jammed. The gunny was right, high capacity magazines are crap.

[KrisKrinkle]

The standard capacity magazine seems to be 15 to 17 rounds these days, at least for 9mm. Thirteen rounds has been the standard capacity for the 9mm Browning Hi-Power since 1935.

So what is a high-capacity-magazine? Who gets to define it? We let the other side define things too often.

[TaMoDee]

That was then, this is now:
Try MagPul mags, they have anti-tilt followers.
Never a problem on feed.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I don’t expect a fire but I still have afire extinguisher for an emergence]y.

High capacity magazine failure to feed correctly has been noted in some of these tragedies, but the M16's action was prone to jam if not kept scrupulously clean.

IIRC, they initially also used the gunpowder originally intended for the 7.62 mm NATO round instead of the originally recommended gunpowder for the 5.56 mm ammo. They had different burning rates. The gunpowder for the NATO round took the heat initially for a design that's prone to getting dirty. My M16 extractor retaining pin broke on me over 40 years ago at just the wrong time.

It seems to me that a magazines is basically a metal box with a spring at the bottom.

Maybe I’m wrong but wouldn’t it be pretty easy for someone with even minimal metal working skills to make one to hold an arbitrary number of cartriges?

[longtermmemmory]

or even produce them en mase with no way to know when they were made.

[4Liberty]

The Dems have yet to figure out that there is a positive correlation between instituting bans on high-round magazines and buying MORE GUNS.
