I will not ever shoot a Glock unless it is a matter of life or death. I like my fingers and my eyes just the way they are, thank you very much. I have been hearing about catastrophic failures in Glocks for years, due to the fact that they do not provide enough support to the case head. Now I have pictures on my hard-drive:

If it were any other ammunition manufacturer, I would tend to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Friends do not let friends shoot Glocks.

It's cool, and in answer to your second response, it's probably a Glock 18, which is basically a select fire Glock 17. Pretty rare, at least in these parts; supposedly were/are popular in South America. From the Glock web site:

The law enforcement and military issue GLOCK 18 select-fire machine pistol is virtually identical to the full-size GLOCK 17, but with the addition of a selector switch on the left rear of the slide that allows fully automatic fire.
