The capacity of detachable feeding devices for the Kel-Tec SUB-2000 pistol-caliber carbine varies depending on the specific model and caliber. Different magazine types are compatible with different pistol brands, allowing for flexibility and leveraging commonly available handgun magazines. For example, a SUB-2000 chambered in 9mm may accept Glock, Beretta, Smith & Wesson, or SIG Sauer magazines, while a .40 caliber version might use Glock or Smith & Wesson magazines. These magazines range in capacity from standard sizes (e.g., 10, 15, 17 rounds) to higher capacity options where legally available.
Magazine capacity influences the operational capabilities of the SUB-2000. A larger capacity allows for longer periods of firing before reloading, which can be advantageous in certain situations. This adaptability to various magazine types and capacities is a key selling point of the platform, enhancing its versatility for different uses such as recreational shooting, home defense, or as a compact option for backcountry or vehicle carry. The choice of magazine capacity often reflects the intended use and legal restrictions within a given jurisdiction.
