    No way I would pay money for that.

    Article says with that attachment law enforcement is out gunned.

    Now if they made a 2rd burst version I could see that being useful. Anything over that, and it becomes uncontrollable.

    Ive got trigger time behind an G18. I can confirm that by the time you get to the 4th round, you're done. Maybe with lots of practice I could do better, but yeah. rounds 5+? Look out 2nd floor residents. LOL

    I also. Without a stock it climbs to heaven. Cyclic rate is around 1000. Burns through a 30 round mag in like a second, making a beautiful rainbow of brass in the air.

    Excellent that he was arrested! He is not, repeat not a child and should be prosecuted as an adult.
    Hopefully the prosecutor will motion to the court accordingly! :rockwoot:

    Oh yes.
    Selling g powdered suger and purporting it to be cocaine is still a federal offense the way I understand the law.
    What if I say its booger sugar and they assume its coccaine but really its sugar with boogers?

    First time I’ve ever seen anything resembling a close-up of one of those switches. Always wondered what they looked like and now I “sort of” know…

    I never wanted to go searching for one online because I didn’t want it tracing back to me, not even just to see what one looks like.
    My understanding is that they essentially take advantage of some space available in the Glock slide design. They replace the standard rear slide cover. That spar slaps the trigger bar down as the slide returns to battery, dropping the striker. It's kind of like an auto sear, if the auto sear worked by smacking the disconnector loose instead of actually catching and releasing a hammer or striker itself.

    I am honestly not sure if releasing the trigger actually stops it from firing, or whether it's just a mag dump on demand button. The actual select-fire Glock, I believe, has more mechanisms that directly interface with the striker.

    You appear to have knowledge of this “switch”?

    Just asking for a buddy.

    I'm surprised the handgun manufacturers aren't required to redesign their guns to prevent this.
