Well I finally got around to trying out those Aguilla mini shot shells in the Benelli Nova. They functioned just fine and made the cutest little "POP" sound when they fired. No kick, no flash just a little shot gun blast in the target.
I really just tried them as a novelty and will probably never use them again but a legal question came to mind.
You can stuff 7 of those in the Benelli Nova. I would assume you could stuff 8-10 in a Benelli M1 Semi Auto. Well based on the AWB you cannot have a pistol grip and fixed magazine capable of holding more than 5 rounds of ammo. Those little suckers would put capacity up to 8-10 rounds.
Conversely what about a guns chambered for 3 inch magnum shells. A magazine tube that only takes 5 shells of 3 inch might take 6 of 2.75 inch.
So how the heck does the law apply. It is written vaguely enough.
Just a curiosity really. Anyboy have any idea since you could argue that x gun only holds 5 rounds of 3 or 3.5 inch or conversely they could argue that x gun holds 10 of those little mini shells.
