>Glock 18 is a [FULL AUTO] pistol

Dang - after watching the video, I wonder how anybody's supposed to hit anything with that. Not exactly what I'd call aimed fire there.

Maybe if they supplied a detachable shoulder stock for it.

Anyway, hope all the NY'ers are doing well and that the injuries are minimal.

And that they catch these wastrels and do worse thing than put panties on their heads, whatever religion they are.

Sheesh.

In the right hands it can be.

With a idiot punk it is a street sweeper.

Short bursts, and yes, it's aimed fire. See the section of the tape where the operator engages three targets. The weapon is selectable between semi- and full-auto modes via the switch on the slide. Not a new concept (I think Mauser had the first one back in the 20s or 30s), but one that has some merits over an SMG as well as some deficiencies. Depends on what it's used for.
