What weapons and magazines did the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 restrict?

The Federal Assault Weapons Ban, enacted as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, prohibited the manufacture, transfer, and possession of specific firearms and accessories.1

The legislation specifically restricted:

• Semiautomatic Assault Weapons: The law outlawed 19 specific models of semiautomatic assault weapons by name. Additionally, it banned other semiautomatic firearms based on the presence of certain "military features".1
• Large-Capacity Magazines: The ban prohibited the manufacture of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices produced after the law's enactment on September 13, 1994.1

It is important to note that this federal ban was temporary; it expired on September 13, 2004, and was not renewed. While the federal prohibition is no longer in effect, some individual U.S. states have implemented their own laws prohibiting the private ownership of certain assault weapons.12
