"High cap mags"

[xxkornxx56]

This thread may have been done before but I cannot find it. Can someone explain to people that just because a gun has a magazine that holds 17 rds it does not make it a hi cap mag. If a gun comes with 13, 15, 17 or 30 rd mags from the factory then that is the standard capacity magazine. A 33 rd glock magazine is a hi cap mag because the 17, 19, and 26 all have lower cap mags that come with the handgun. A 30 rd ak or ar mag is not hi cap. They come with 20 or 30 rd magazines from the factory!

Preaching to the choir. The libs have a magical number (10) that they think is a good amount of rounds per mag. 11+ is weapons of war, assault type, military type high cap mags. I've tried explaining that to people but...

Well even people on here in the classifieds say a gun comes with "hi cap mags." Once I question them about it then it is just the magazines that came with the gun from the factory. It's very frustrating.

I was told that my 13 round magazine was hi cap the other day by a guy in my local gun shop. It blew my mind. Always thought they had to be like 20 rounds or more to be considered hi cap.

Standard capacity varies from each design.

It doesn't matter how factual and detailed your conversation with a leftist may be, they do not care about facts.

It's all relative guys....would you say a 60" T.V. is a "large screen TV"? yes. but its a standard from a manufacturer....what about gas mileage on a car? a prius get 40+ miles to the gallon. It is classified as high mileage even though it is "standard" for toyota to make it that way. It's a comparison to others out there. Sadly, yes, 30 rounds is "high capacity" in an AR compared to a...I dunno lcp (6+1). Anyways keep that in mind and try to find things to actually be mad about than someone saying a 17 rd magazine is "hi-capacity" over "standard capacity"

Well how about I get mad when a bunch of people that don't know about guns, or defense try to tell me what I need?

And maybe I would get mad if they were trying to ban other "high capacity" items for no other reason than they are HC.

I would like to point out that 10 rounds is hi-cap for a 1911

 

[Double T]

It should be "higher capacity", but that's just arguing semantics with someone of "lesser" capacity.

Over 10 rounds in a magazine....God forbid you carry that around while also brandishing a 20oz Mt Dew

Since I cut my teeth on revolvers, a 7 shot semi auto was an upgrade. Then they figured out how to make 8 round magazines....big time!

When we argue about what's "high capacity" versus standard, it starts to look like there is some capacity of magazine we would agree to ban.

....so who cares what name they give it. High, standard, super-duper, whatever- leave our mags alone!

When someone brings up that argument.
I look at them and ask if their car can go faster than 70mph.

20.
Think of all the lives stayed if cars stayed less than 20
