There are many designs of magazines for the AR-15-M16 including 20, 30 and larger capacity types, as for rate of fire on a semi-automatic weapon it's as fast as you can pull the trigger unless you use a bump stock or other type of trigger manipulator.
Somebody mentioned the M-14 although the military type uses a larger round the Ruger Mini-14 uses the .223 round like the AR-15/M-16, with the design of the M-14 military weapon.
I've hunted with a Mini-14 for years but no longer hunt, I don't want to kill anything ever again, btw it uses the same magazine as the AR-15/M-16.
And that's part of the big problem, there are literally hundreds of thousands of these magazines out there already, I'd be so happy if they quit making and selling killing machines today but getting them off the street where they can never be used to kill another human will not be easy no matter what laws are passed.
It's already gone way too far for too long, I don't know what the answer is but at least it sounds like the nra may have accepted money from Russia to help the dotard and that would hopefully take them down.
The nra needs to be put in the dustbin of history.
