Full Auto Glock 18 at the Range: Can I Hit...Anything? (Ad-free)
Added 2024-05-18 12:00:02 +0000 UTCI've fired a number of different machine pistols, but until today never a Glock 18. So, we're going to give it a try! This is an original factory example, not a conversion.

No idea. I was not even close to first up. 8>)

2024-08-14 01:05:11 +0000 UTCYear after year after year, my high school bestie (who, mind you, doesn’t even like Glocks) kept pestering me to buy him a G18 as a birthday gift.

2024-05-28 21:24:30 +0000 UTCWhen I went through the armorer course several years ago it was said rather offhandedly, that Gaston glock made this thing just to show police officials in high ranking places and let them shoot it at the company to drive sales.

2024-05-19 13:41:35 +0000 UTCThe cyclic rate really speeds up on a G19 - the 18 isn't too too bad

2024-05-18 20:25:18 +0000 UTCWhat I am most impressed with is your skill in controlling the pisto. I dare say that the average LEO or soldier would have lost control and rounds would have been going to the moon. Your experience and skill show through.

2024-05-18 19:08:15 +0000 UTCI'd like to see the f/x of using the "blow forward" counterbalance gadget that Hop tested [applied some Google-fu: it's the "Strike Industries Mass Driver Comp"] to see if that [which he deemed useless in semi-auto] was in some way pertinent for the G18. Meanwhile, the moral of the story to the standard configuration is "Aim at the BG's nads and you'll sterilize him w/ the 1st shot so that even if the rest of the rounds just punch random holes higher up, at least you'll have done the world a service regardless if he survives or not..."

2024-05-18 18:57:27 +0000 UTC@Ian sort of addressed this at the end. I don't really understand the pistol-size machine-gun like the Glock 18 or the Beretta. If somewhere between a quarter and three quarters of the bullets go astray (and potentially hit innocent bystanders), the firepower is not helping much. I would think a more typical submachine gun with a shoulder-stock like a rifle would be more useful, controllable. There are many good ones (Beretta, H&K, Kalashnikov, Colt and others) in the same powerful 9mm bullet, that are a lot more effective, precise, controllable.

2024-05-18 18:48:34 +0000 UTCYou could compare it to a shotgun pattern, but keep in mind that the "pattern" of a machine pistol is highly shooter-dependant. Also, a 9mm bullet has way more energy than a 00 buckshot pellet, so any shots off-target have bigger consequences, I think.

2024-05-18 16:12:27 +0000 UTCOddly and interestingly enough, the pattern of rounds resembles a shotgun pattern - Something very commonly employed in Law Enforcement circles and a risk for over-spreading beyond targets. Machine Pistol fears of over-spray while well founded are not seemingly different than what the shotgun already provided as status quo.

2024-05-18 13:05:48 +0000 UTCI feel bad for Glock being picked on for being "easy" to convert - Any gun can be easy if studied long enough and a supporting infrastructure pathway parts supplied. Then if they conceed, they may follow like companies like Colt with its late 80s/90s designs to make it more difficult to appease the public only led to 2A community resentment for "caving". Any gun can be converted. Atchisson had a video made when representing RPB on open bolt "easy" conversions to the regional federal court, and demonstrated where he takes about a dozen firearms and converts them to fully automatic with household materials or easy fixes to fire full auto. Full auto glocks are the media's version of the Tommy Gun - statistically there are very few used in lethal illegal actions but you would think they are everywhere.

2024-05-18 13:02:27 +0000 UTCYou have to hold the gun sideways

2024-05-18 12:43:08 +0000 UTCgood bursts. assume thst beretta 93r would make it much easier but who gets to shoot both. I don't.

2024-05-18 12:23:27 +0000 UTCdid you hit that car?
Guido Schriewer
2024-05-18 12:21:03 +0000 UTCI got to shoot one at Knob Creek. The target was a vehicle. I fired in bursts as you did, but that was to prolong the experience.
