SureFire, traditionally known as a manufacturer of illumination accessories, has announced today that it is releasing high-capacity 60- and 100-round aluminum magazines for .223/5.56 mm NATO AR-type rifles.

Dubbed the MAG5-60 and MAG5-100, the two new magazines are designed to give military operators the ability to stay in a firefight longer. According to SureFire, with a 4-second reload time, the current standard magazine allows soldiers to fire no more than 150 rounds in 30 seconds. The MAG5-60 increases that figure to 240 rounds, and the MAG5-100 to 293 rounds.

Looking at their website looks like there will be no restriction except to states that limit magazine capacity for civilians to order & own.

Wonder what will happen if some whack job ever goes on a shooting spree with one of these?
