First, it banned any semi-auto centerfire rifle or shotgun that could accept a detachable magazine containing more than five rounds. Second, it also added a long list of guns to the prohibited-by-name list—that is, the list of firearms that are banned although they do not have automatic fire capability, short barrels, or other functions or features that are outright banned in Canada.""

The devil is in the wording "could accept" ....pretty much every hunting firearm with a detachable magazine could be fitted with one that would hold more than 5 rounds.
