New from FAB Defense: NY legal 50-round magazine

It's a new gun industry invention: a "NY legal" 50-round five-magazine part for the AR-15 semi-auomatic air cooled rifle. I can't understand how can this be legal in NY or anywhere else. Just look at the description from The Truth About Guns—you can't miss it:

"The concept is solid and well established on Ruger 10/22 magazines: couple a whole bunch of them together at the floorplate and rotate the contraption when the mag runs dry. But FAB Defense took things a step further, gluing five 10-round magazines to a central spoke to create a New York-legal 50-round arrangement. Well, as near as we can tell NY legal..."

While utterly impractical, it does seem to accomplish its purpose: extending a middle digit to NY gun laws.
