"Why even a criminal would want to own such a gun is beyond me."

I'm not a criminal, and I'd love one!



"It would probably bethe ultimate in gun status-symbols."

Damn right. :) So?

THE first fully automatic handgun to surface in the UK - capable of firing 1,100 rounds a minute - has been seized in a police raid.

Assuming you can change the freaking 19 round magazine that fast! It would take 58 magazines to fire 1100 rounds.

" ..58 mags"

1100 rpm terrifies the good citizens, explaining that it would take 58 mags to do it just confuses the "issue" and might make them stop and think.
We can't have that, (citizens thinking) why next thing you know they'll want to be able to defend themselves from criminals...
Eh gads, that might lead to a feeling of empowerment, and loss of control by the central government.

Maybe one of those banned 1,100 round magazines.

I'm sure the Daily Mirror imagines there is an 1,100 round magazine for the weapon.

Cool! Imagine your times in an "El Presidente" if you could do 58 mag changes in a minute!
