Magazines over 10 rounds do not necessarily change the rate of sustained accurate fire appreciably, given practice. Some have noted the convenience of magazines with greater than 10 rounds...I would consider this less than functional.

The true function of the limiting of magazine size, IMHO, has been to encourage the development of more compact large caliber pistols. Why take a ten round 9mm when in the same size weapon, one can get an 8 round .45? To be sure, widespread CC laws have contributed to this, but I believe the mag capacity limit had an effect also.

So maybe the AWB wasn't all bad? Just counterproductive to the gun prohibition movement.
