That is a modified glock equipped with an automatic sear. In other words a machine gun. The owning and operation of machine guns in the U.S. is already highly requlated, and requires a class III license from the BATFE. The law that requires this license, while clearly unconstitutional, has existed since the 1930s or so, and exposes the owner to all kinds of invasive actions on the part of the Feds. If Justice Kennedy wants to use this video as an excuse to clamp down on the ownership of more mundane weapons, he will be stretching the truth quite a bit.

Glocks are real easy to convert to full auto.
All ya have to do is slightly bend down the sear and chamfer the sharp edge of the catch on the firing pin and bam. Done!
But with such a light slide the cyclic rate of fire is so fast you can dump a 15 rnd clip in a second.
Just bend the sear back up and it is back to semi auto.

Yeah it is dangerous and a huge waste of ammo too.
Me and a friend bought some real cheap 22 cal scorpions.
They are really poorlly made little 22s that look like a mini mac-10. Mine went full auto while I was at the range where there were tons of cops practicing.
When they heard it they just asked if they could shoot it too. I said sure just load your own clips cause I was starting to get a blister on my thumb.

TexasDan on December 2, 2007 at 7:00 PM
It’s a Glock 18. There are no transferable Glock 18’s in the NFA Registry, so this one has to be either owned by a law enforcement agency or a NFA Special Occupation Tax approved dealer as a dealer sample upon the request of a law enforcement agency, or by Glock U.S.A. itself. In other words, under current law, tt can not be lawfully owned by a private individual in the United States.
The $200 tax only applies to transfer of weapons that are already in the registry. The registry was closed in 1986 by an act of congress, and no new automatic weapons have been able to be registered since. The Glock 18 was not on the market until after the registry had been closed.

A freind of mine (mechincal engineer) was not into guns but was offerd one in trade for labor. He ended up buying a russian rifle that would not shoot straight. He could not stand it he had to know why.
After a couple of monthes he discovered that when he shot just a couple of rounds the barrel got hot enough it would press against the stock. Guess what he modified the stock and it became very accurate. Yes the barrels do get very hot, in this glock I will bet that 50 burst like that and the barrel is shot.

I grew up on farms and cattle ranches a long ways from nowhere, I got my first 22 at 10 and my first deer rifle at 12 but then I didn’t have anything to shoot other than game either I guess.

Since Glocks have the worst triggers I have ever experienced, maybe full auto is the way to go with one of these. I’ll stick to a 1911 that hits what I aim at.

Does this Glock stop firing if you let off the trigger mid magazine or is it a one rip zip?
Speakup on December 2, 2007 at 9:16 PM
The barrel doesn’t get hot enough with (comparatively) low-pressure 9mm ammo to cause any real problems.

I guess according to Liberals I own an arsenal.
I also own several antiques my grandfathes left me as well.

Do you know a dry fire way to test a firearm to see if it is FA?
Drtuddle on December 2, 2007 at 11:07 PM
???
If it, (or any firearm) doesn’t stop when the trigger is released…then there is a major design flaw.
It’s a trigger, not a fuse.
Sorry for the nit-pick.

Dusty on December 3, 2007 at 12:12 AM
Ah, by the looks of the full video, this was a test of the glock’s ability to handle the heat. I couldn’t tell who was doing the testing, but it appears to be someone who doesn’t care if the gun is destroyed in the process, so probably law enforcement, glock themselves, or some other organization with access to a lot more where that one came from.
It also mentions that it was indeed a glock 18, which as said above is designed as a full auto, so this isn’t modified.
Cool as that is, I’ve never fired a glock I liked. The triggers are terrible. I’ll stick with my Walther p99.
frost on December 3, 2007 at 12:28 AM
If this Glock was designed for full auto then it has a lock lever that is pulled out of the way so it can go full auto and then the slide is caught if the trigger is released, without it once you pull the trigger it doesn’t stop firing until the magazine is empty.
Speakup on December 3, 2007 at 12:30 AM
I went digging thru the comments on YouTube and found this:
“Machineguns are perfectly legal for private citizens to own in most US states, so long as they were made before 1986. This particular one is a post-86 machinegun, and is only available to Class II manufacturers (which I believe DangerousBob is), Class III dealers, police, and military. His possessing and shooting this switch is perfectly legal. I shot one just like it the other day, as I was at the range with my local manufacturer and dealer, and they had one. Very fun.”
Then I checked the website listed at the end of the vid and found a good pic:

This looks like a glock 17 converted to full auto. You can see the silver fire control unit on the back of the gun.

mad saint jack on December 3, 2007 at 2:21 AM
Yes.
With the weapon unloaded and pointed in a safe direction, pull the trigger on an empty chamber, keeping the trigger depressed. Then rack the slide. If the striker/hammer falls again when the slide returns to battery, it is either full auto or has a badly defective disconnecter.
In a semi-auto firearm, the hammer will not fall when the slide returns to battery, instead the trigger must be reset and then pulled again to drop the hammer.
mojojojo on December 3, 2007 at 4:44 AM
Huge waste of ammo but it would still be fun. If you’re looking for something with less paperwork involved there is a M2 available.
alilianstrom on December 3, 2007 at 8:36 AM
Agree with many posters. What was the condition of the weapon after firing that many rounds so rapidly? After the first 10 rounds the remainder must have missed their target because the scoring must have become distorted.
Also, a clip larger than the weapon, how you gonna hide it-unless you can get TSA to believe it is a role of film for your Panaflex.
MSGTAS on December 3, 2007 at 9:02 AM
It’s FA when the trigger being depressed after dry fire and after you rack the slide returns to the battery and the hammer falls and if it is semi-auto you have to release the trigger then pull it again to fire after slide returns to battery? If it’s fully auto after the slide returns you release the trigger an pull again it does nothing right? You know of any youtube video that shows this function test?
Now firearms manufactured legally FA will have slelector switches correct?
Drtuddle on December 3, 2007 at 9:37 AM
Perfect explanation.

otcconan on December 3, 2007 at 10:51 AM
No, if it’s fully auto, the hammer will fall on it’s own when the slide returns to battery for as long as the trigger held down. On most FA designs, there is a second sear (known as an “auto sear” that is activated when the slide returns to battery. The auto sear automatically releases the hammer each time the slide returns to battery for as long as the trigger is held down.
If it’s semi, then the hammer will not fall when it returns to battery. You have to release the trigger and then pull it again. Releasing the trigger resets the disconnecter and re-engages the trigger’s connection to the sear.
Some morons try to convert a semi-auto to full-auto by tinkering with the disconnecter (the part that makes you have to reset the trigger between shots on a SA). This never works well (if at all), is unreliable, and can be very dangerous because it may cause the firearm to cycle uncontrollably until the magazine is emptied! It’s highly illegal as well.
I don’t know of any youtube video on this, but I haven’t looked. It is simply knowledge of the mechanics of SA vs FA firearms.
Selector switch depends on the firearm. Some FA firearms do not have a SA mode–mostly open-bolt designs like the Sten, Thompson and M2 “grease gun”, as well as most crew served weapons like the M1919, M2 BMG, or German MG42. In this case, the safety will only indicate “fire” and “safe.”
Modern weapons with both semi-auto and full-auto capability, such as the M16, Kalashnikov, MP5, etc. have a 3-position safety indicating “safe,” “semi” or “auto”. Later versions of the M16, as well as some versions of the MP5 do not have a full-auto mode, only a 3-round burst.
mojojojo on December 3, 2007 at 12:15 PM
Given the difficulty in aiming and loading (based on what is in this clip), all the Glock video is good for is increasing donations to anti-Second Amendment forces.
Gimme a Remington 870 Marine magnum; only 6 rounds, but 12 gauge doesn’t miss much. Good for at just about everything (small game, birds, skeet–my favorite, or home protection.
doufree on December 3, 2007 at 12:31 PM
Every time a gun thread comes up, I have to bruise my head on my desk.
1) With the small amounts of 9mm ammo in question, and the short barrel, heating’s not a “damage” issue, and at the short ranges we’re talking about, not much of an accuracy issue. Generally, the more powerful the ammo and the longer the barrel, the more of an issue heat is. The Glock 18 uses 9mm (low-power) ammo and has a short barrel.
2) The Durability of the Gun: I once fired a very accurate Glock and Para Ordnance 45 that had each had over 100,000 rounds though them. Original barrels (very popular range rentals). Neither of them had “worn out” barrels.
3) There was an “accuracy test” on a Sig P220 that involved 10,000 rounds of rapid-fire… in one day. The accuracy SLIGHTLY degraded, but was fully restored after a thorough cleaning.
4)It’s called rifling, not “scoring,” and compared to their real-world wear rate, the amount of wear we’re seeing here is trivial. Generally if the rifling is worn, either you’ve used a lot of corrosive ammunition and never cleaned it, it’s a GIGANTOR caliber like 700 Nitro Express, it’s terrible metal, or it’s a contemporary of Billy the Kid.
5) Triggers are a matter of taste. My Glock’s trigger is just fine from the factory, but could be improved with aftermarket parts if I so desired.
6) Glock 18’s are surprisingly accurate for what they are – moreso than the sexier burst-fire Beretta 93R. It’s because the inherent recoil reduction of the Glock’s design makes it easier to hold it on target. That being said, the pattern of hits will be more like birdshot than anything else, but unless you’re not trying you can keep them all on a man-sized target at intermediate ranges. And in real-life, you’d probably be firing bursts, rather than just holding down the trigger.
I’m gonna stop at 6.

Thanks I love gunnut folk. Always have informative answers.
Drtuddle on December 4, 2007 at 12:08 PM
