"capable of firing 1,100 rounds a minute"
Only in Hollywood!
In the real word it may have a Firing Rate of 1,100 rounds a minute, but no one in the world can change magazines fast enough to actually fire 1,100 rounds from the gun in in one minute.
No point to the unaimed fire such a feat would require anyway.
Probably not even a real 18, just converted with a kit that seems to originate in So. America, NOT the U.S.
Buy a Ruger 10/22 and convert it to full auto ... works like a hose for a brief time, until the clip is empty. Shoots open bolt. I don't own one just seen one in action. Not a legal conversion. A 'ten to twenty' conversation piece at 1/5 the cost.
Before posting, everyone should look @ the date this thread was started.
I remember this article being posted a while back.
You're joking, right? Playing devil's advocate?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I thought guns were illegal in the UK! How come there are still guns on the street?
