The magazine capacity has improved with an additional cartridge capacity. For example in the "magnum" calibres the capacity is now 3+1 rather than the R93's 2+1. A magazine capacity of just two rounds always seemed a bit limiting.
This isn't correct. I just recently used a standard R93 in 416 Rem Mag, and it took 3 in the magazine.

To me, this seems like a bureaucrats solution to a non-existent problem. A gun should be stored securely in the first place in my opinion.
