Note: Yes, I realize that an actual 100-round magazine extends much further down than the 30-round one in this image. Making the 100-round magazine to scale would have made the image very unwieldy.

Note how the title of this piece is Connecting the Dots Between NRA Lobbying and the Batman Massacre, not Technical Specifications of an AR-15.
