10. I agree. They should start with that 65 rd. magazine in the second image.

Trying to define an "assault weapon" by color, accessories, barrel length, materials, collapsible stock or whether they have that "tactical" look is pointless. One can get .223 cal. 30 rd. magazines for Ruger mini-14s, high capacity 12 Ga. shotguns or 33 rd. 9mm magazines for Glocks. All allow high rates of fire and quick reloads. The only thing that should matter is the potential lethality of the firearm.
