All the current bills discuss 'Assault weapons' with a detachable magazine holding more than X rounds.

http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2017-18/Pdf/Bills/Senate%20Bills/5050.pdf
page 5, line 26


How is belt fed defined? If you have a belt fed AR it does not use a magazine, ergo it does not fall under the definition of an 'assault weapon' ?

Time for a WAGUNS group buy on magazine fed parts?

As long as your belt fed device has a fixed stock, no threaded barrel, no pistol grip, no forward grip or a handguard then yes.... You are correct.

I dunno, a belt sure sounds like some kind 'ammunition feeding device'.

"Large capacity magazine" means an ammunition feeding device
with the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition, or
any conversion kit, part, or combination of parts, from which such a
device can be assembled if those parts are in the possession or under
the control of the same person,

Belt fed is defined as political opponents opening their mouth while I give them a heaping portion of whoopass from the Black Hammer Belt in 2020.

actually, if it DOESN'T have a 'magazine' then that doesn't matter, re read the section, IMO it's an IF/THEN statement. IF (magazine>10 rounds) AND (one of these items) THEN ('assault weapon')
