Light Pistols
Note: In the United States, gun control laws have severely restricted the ammunition capacity of small arms in civilian use.
All magazines manufactured in or imported to the U.S. can hold no more than ten rounds. The clips sold before this ban are
legal, but getting them is very costly. In other countries the magazines are still full-capacity. That is why many U.S.
gun catalogs do not match the capacity for rounds listed here. However, with a little skill (a.k.a. Gunsmithing) the current
clips could (in theory) be modified to hold their full allotment. This would be highly illegal.
Law enforcement officials are still allowed to purchase the full capacity magazines.

The damage has been increased in this table to reflect the superior size of the 10mm.)
