Penal Code section 30515(b) defines an ammunition-feeding device contained in, or permanently attached to, a firearm so that removal requires disassembly of the firearm action. [1] The definition concerns attachment and removal, while other paragraphs separately address capacity and firearm characteristics. [1] Fixed status alone therefore does not answer every question posed by section 30515, including its provisions concerning fixed magazines accepting more than ten rounds in specified firearm categories.
