Ofc. Safety: Automatic Glock converson

[HmtPD2]

For all of you cops out there, as well as anyone else, watch out. The criminals have done it. There is a "homemade" way to make your standard glock pistol automatic. This came from LE intelligece scouces. The standard pistol has what appears to be half of a dime protruding from the rear of the slide. By sliding this "selector" it is possible to make the pistol full auto. I do not know the mechanics of how it works, but have seen video footage of some gangbanger showin' his stuff. It is not the Glock 18 either.

FYI

There has been a similar commercial device available for a couple of years. It was not meant to be sold in the US. But as with anything else, the crooks will find a way to obtain it or reproduce it. My guess is that Glock will fix it so that newly manufactured guns will not be ale to be converted. Unfortunately that doesn't deal with the millions of Glocks on the street.
As a question, does this place all Glocks under the BATF definition of a machinegun? It seems like there is a paragraph that deals with words such as "or easily converted to fire multiple times with one manipulation of the trigger". It would seem that these Glocks fall uner the category of easily converted. I will try to find a link to the commercial device.

I hope the link works, but if not the URL is correct.

From my understanding, it wouldn't be a machine gun unless you also possessed the part to convert it.

But then again, that's only my understanding of it.

The aforementioned "adapter" would seem to fit that definition.

If it does, we have a whole new ballgame...and a federal offense, as well.

USMCSNIPERONE, lemme know what you find out. Hit the email addy: wickman@qwest.net
...if you would, bro.

I know some guys who have fired the G18, 93R and other full auto handguns. They have all seemd to think that they are not very practical accept for very specialized situations like some aircrew who may need counter-assault firepower in a very small package due to space restrictions in the cockpit.

I had a chance to fire an Ingram M-something in .380 once. It was TOO FUN! that little thing was cool! But, while full-auto stuff is fun to play with, I don't know if it would be worth getting all the licenses and stuff.

Doesn't it cost, like, a whole lot of money to get full-auto licenses from the ATF?

Received. Much grass, bro.

Sparkey, the fee due the gov't is $200.00 each time an automatic weapon is transfered. The big problem is that the registry was closed on 19, May 1986. Any weapons manufactured after that date are limited to military or official LE agency purchase or must dealer samples. Dealer samples are not transferable to civilians.
