 | | Title XI prohibits the manufacture, sale, and possession of specific makes and models of military-style semiautomatic firearms and other semiautomatics with multiple military-style features (detachable magazines, flash suppressors, folding rifle stocks, and threaded barrels for attaching silencers) and outlaws most large capacity magazines (ammunition- feeding devices) capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. |
 | | It also banned "features test" weapons, that is, semiautomatics with multiple features (e.g., detachable magazines, flash suppressors, folding rifle stocks, and threaded barrels for attaching silencers) that appeared useful in military and criminal applications but that were deemed unnecessary in shooting sports (see exhibit 2). |
 | | The ban's short-term impact on gun violence has been uncertain, due perhaps to the continuing availability of grandfathered assault weapons, close substitute guns and large capacity magazines, and the relative rarity with which the banned weapons were used in gun violence even before the ban. |
