Sorry if this is a stupid question but how can you have a 20 round magazine for a shotgun? Does it have something to do with it being manual action?

5

The 5 round limit only applies to magazines for long guns that are centerfire AND semi auto.

Manual action centerfire long guns don't have any capacity limit. Neither do semi auto rimfire rifles.

The Ruger 10/22 unfortunately is interpreted as using a handgun magazine due to the existence of the Ruger Charger pistol, so it is limited to 10 despite being a rimfire rifle.

Ahhh I see. I know semi auto centre fire long guns are limited to 5. I thought I had seen somewhere that even manual action shotguns had magazine limits as well. I might be getting that confused with hunting rules tho maybe now that I think about it.
