Indeed, when you are defending yourself you have no control over timing of the attackers. You are forced to respond whenever your attackers make a move. The more you need to reload the more chances that you won't be able to respond in time. On the other hand, on the attacking side, you can choose your timing freely and the capacity of the magazine is not as important (it's only important when your target turns against you and you become a defender yourself). Magazine caps are so popular because the goal of "gun control" is to limit the people's ability to defend so much that they will have to rely on the government for protection. It has exactly zero effect on crime as the crime is already illegal and if criminals cared about these laws they would not be criminals in the first place.
