A '''large capacity magazine''' was defined under [[United States of America|US]] law as any [[ammunition]] feeding device for use in a [[firearm]] that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Their sale in the USA was restricted to government and law enforcement officials by the [[Assault weapons ban (USA)|Federal Assault Weapons Ban]] provision of the [[Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act]] which came into force on [[September 13]] [[1994]]. This law expired on [[September 13, 2004]].

It should also be noted that these devices are sometimes referred to as "Normal Capacity" or "Standard Capacity" magazines because many firearms were originally designed to operate using a magazine with the capabilty for more than ten rounds.
