“Glock switches” are easily produced on 3D printers.

A separate question is whether the availability of “Glock switches” results in more or fewer people injured or killed.

Full auto handguns are notoriously difficult to shoot well.

Most shots go off target.

And hit people who didn’t “disrespect” you.

Yeah, I would expect a lot more collateral damage.

I wonder, if a thug held one sidewise and fired into a crowd, the the insane muzzle lift wouldn’t be an issue.

I like my 17.

Fully automatic pistols (often called machine pistols) were first invented during World War I. The Steyr Repetierpistole M1912/P16, developed by Austria-Hungary in 1916, is widely recognized as the world’s first true production fully automatic pistol.

They never became popular both because of their aiming problem, and because they consumed ammo like a hungry dachshund. That is, they needed constant reloading.
