Hey guys, Christmas is coming and I’ve been a good boy...
‘I will gladly pay the tax stamp on Wednesday for a Glock machine pistol today’ ... just sayin’
whoever the dealer is better be ready for an atf raid.
Maybe if you ship them to Mexico .... oh, wait ...
Actually, making a Glock full auto is not that difficult. Illegal without a stamp, but not that difficult. But why would ya if it isn’t registered and functioning as a short barreled rifle?
Awh man. Operation GunWalker strikes again.
“Police Chief Rick McQueary says they’re too dangerous to use for officers who must carefully consider every shot.”
Didn’t some generals say the same thing about repeating rifles when they first came out?
On the other hand, considering how careful a lot of cops are about how and what they shoot, maybe its a good idea to dispose of them.
I have fired one of these things and I can’t see how they would be very useful for anything other than maybe a bodyguard who doesn’t care about anybody but the person he is protecting. It is definitely not something law enforcement would need for any purpose.
How can such a pistol be controllable? Without a shoulder stock I can see bullets going every which way but into the target.
IIRC, there are a few “transferrable” Glock 18s around ... running about $250,000 each.
I can’t see much use for one either but I still wouldn’t mind if they gave them to me.
Better aim low, really low for the first round, after that muzzle climb will give you, maybe to hits. The rest, who knows. I suspect the pistol has a full auto cutoff.
The military had to limit the AR-15 to three round bursts because of troops just pulling the trigger and hoping. Does not work so well in a fire fight.

Send me two. I want to dual wield those bad boys!! I’ve seen the G18 in action and they are sweet!
Good video about the Glock 18: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHdHuSuUI3s
Some police department.
Proficiency with automatic weapons requires many more hours of range work—work that most people won’t do. Otherwise, automatic weapons (especially short-barreled ones) are practically useless. Even with the required training, they’re only good for very close range work. Work is the key word, and lots of it. Shotguns can be better for that in most cases. Automatic weapons in urban or suburban environments nowadays would be more dangerous to bystanders than bad guys.
BTW, the only uses that I’ve seen for automatic weapons are those of clearing buildings (killing everything in each room) and jungle warfare.
Can any nitwit in the police department order an automatic weapon or does the individual have to have FFL and do officers need an FFL?
