out of something for fun.
I know some folks who don't own guns but being in a position of authority they get to go to a range and fire all the automatic weapons the county sheriff has. They say it is fun.
I don't know of any other logical reason to have a large capacity magazine.
I don't buy any other gunner explanation for owning them.
