2. Ak 47 magazines are the part of the gun where the
ammunition is stored; they can be fixed to the firearm or
removable. They work by moving the cartridges stored in
them to a position that allows them to be loaded into the
action chamber. They come in various sizes and shapes and
they can hold from a few rounds to hundreds. Usually the
amount of rounds that they can hold is limited by law with
the purpose to discourage potential mass murderers, even
though this limit has been very controversial because some
people feel they cannot defend themselves as effectively.
Other countries, such as Canada, where there is also a
magazine limit imposed, the rate of gun related crime is
much lower even when the number of guns that a person
possesses in average is higher.

3. The earliest precursors of ak magazines involved loading
firearms with a lead ball and loose powder, firing multiple
shots without reloading required a gun with more than one
barrel which added weight and volume. Actually, the first
precursor of ak 47 magazines that was a proper magazine
appeared on air guns. The first firearm that used a magazine
(which looked a lot like current ak 47 magazines for sale) that
was successfully sold was the Spencer rifle, widely used in the
American Civil War. Although the rifle was successful, the
ammunition ignited unexpectedly in the magazine tube
destroying the gun and sometimes injuring the user.
Detachable magazines were created in early twentieth
century, since they hold a number of cartridges; they allowed
the user to reload the firearm infrequently, and to be able to
carry around magazines instead of individual cartridges.
