Does anyone know if the Improved Ammo Capacity mod was supposed to be for
clip weapons as well as cylinder and internal magazines? Either way, I
can't make some guns with the CC design rules. (Though there are some odd
possibilities if there is no error ... woohoo! A hold-out pistol with a
50 round clip and a conceal of 9!). I think by clip, that section means
"external" clips like those on assault rifles and SMGs, not "internal"
ones like those that fit completely in the grip of a pistol...

The Improved Ammo Capacity _design option_ is used for weapons with
cylinders (max: 7 rounds) and internal magazines (max: 10 rounds).
Clip-fed weapons should use the Extended Clip modification. No
concealability modification is listed because such a change would be
dependent on the size of the base weapon and the size of the
cartridge. You'll be best off to use your own discretion and make a
reasonable guess.
