Just in North Carolina in the past 12 months there have been at least 10 incidents of people successfully defending their homes with a semi automatic weapon. I state this based on all the news coverage of these incidents. North Carolina has many military families which tend to have semi-automatic guns in their homes.

BUt internal magazine is a perfectly valid term. Apparently you gun nuts don't even know what words describe your toys. So between you and the supposed brain desestrio you paranoid gun nuts still only have half a brain.
Nearly all bolt-action-rifle shooters have reloaded guns without external, detachable box magazines. Internal-magazine rifles are more the rule than the exception in the hunting, target shooting and competition worlds. But, few outside of military circles have had to cram cartridges into their gun's action with completely numb fingers, in darkness or when needing to "get back on the gun" and shoot before being shot. Whether shooting one of these "old school" turnbolts in a tactical environment, up against dangerous game or simply on a timed course of fire, it is necessary to develop techniques to get rounds into the internal magazine as efficiently as possible.

This makes me wonder if you boys even have guns. Maybe you are just pounding your chests on an internet forum.

I can't get to that link for some reason. Just loads a blank page. Are you referring to a fixed magazine like in a bolt action rifle? I've never, ever heard of them referred to as an "internal magazine".

I don't know, I haven't been in your mom's basement for some time. She's got too much mileage at this point.
Here's a video on an "assault weapons ban" on Youtube. There are a few dozen like this. Yet none of these are assault weapons. They're just called that. Moral of the story, a youtube video doesn't mean that's how things are.
Just asked a range officer I know about it. He said that, technically, an "internal magazine" is a real thing, but only insofar as you are describing the hollow area which feeds the firing chamber. Technically it is not a magazine, as that term is applied to items that are detachable from the firearm, but you are correct, it can be called the internal magazine or the fixed magazine.

You stated "internal magazine" in reference to "five rifles and five shotguns" in this thread:

No fielded bolt-action in current production uses an internal mag/floor-plate design. Sure, there are working reproductions just as there are modern blackpowder rifles, but no practical BA's use Mauser actions with floor-plates. You're attempting to cover you ass by trying to appear knowledgable about something you read on wikipedia.
Most shotguns feed from mag-tubes. Some shotguns have "external" mags as well, but nobody refers to them as "external mags" as we call them box mags. AK-action (VEPR) shotguns use box mags. Benelli SAs use mag-tubes. The new Mossberg 590M uses box mags (no mag tube).
Nobody was talking bolt-actions with floor plates or stripper-clips here. You attempted to make it fit as would the guy covering his ass after posting pics of his CJ mudder to a Ferrari forum.
So you don't like the Constitution. Not a surprise, perhaps you should take knee.
I think maybe the exchanges in this thread are getting a bit out of hand. Not unlike gun ownership in the US, eh?
