#2 Fifty rounds of bullets from both sides over the course of half an hour? That's about one round per minute per side. What the heck are they armed with, muzzle-loader muskets? A 9mm pistol can crank out seventeen shots in about ten seconds, assuming you have a seventeen shot magazine in it...

#3 They have to manufacture, load, and prime each bullet on site.

#5 14-17 shot magazines are standard on 9mm handguns. Only since the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban has magazine capacity been limitted to 10. Older high capacity magazines were grandfathered in. I believe when the Assault Weapons Ban expired last year, the magazine capacity limit also expired.
