capable of firing 1,100 rounds a minute

...in movies where no one ever reloads.

The report said the Glock can fire "armour-piercing ammunition".

...which differs from every single other weapon chambered in the same caliber in absolutely no way at all.

a Glock 18, banned from sale in the US and described as a "monster of a weapon" that fires bullets with the intensity of a high- pressure water hose.

in·ten·si·ty: The amount or degree of strength of electricity, light, heat, or sound per unit area or volume.

The bullets hit with the force of a stream of water? Neat! Let's spray each other, and catch the bullets in a baseball mit!

If it was fired on the streets of London by someone unused to its immense firing capability, there could be a massacre

If someone wasn't used to it, the muzzle most likely drift upward, at nothing. Now if someone were used to full auto, they might be capable of hitting what they intended.

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

This one stands on its own.
