glock 18 seized in the UK
 

one of the most dangerous guns available has been seized by police, the 'glock 18' machine gun is fully automatic, capable of fireing 1000 bullets per minuite, or 16 per second.

the gun was confiscated by police, who arrested a suspected 'yardie' gangster.

I'll never understand why they say 1000 bullets per minute for example when they are giving guns figures because its impossible :) Spose its just the way to give a benchmark for all types of guns with all sizes if clips. Still sounds daft though.

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

Aren't all guns dangerous though? It only takes one bullet to kill someone. Stories like this do not suprise me anymore!!

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

yes all guns are dangerous, but the point of the report was to highlight how powerful guns are becoming.

can't say I read the link Kronas ;)

What abt the rocket launchers they used to find that the IRA and others over in N Ireland used weren't they dangerous? :shrug:

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

ummmm....like every other gun then? dont ya love tabloids sensationalising everything?

and at 16rds a second the guy is only gonna have just over 1 second firing time before running outta ammo - leaving you plenty of time to run up to him and give him a clip round the ear....

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

luckily the people that have these weapons tend not to be able to use them to their full potential, to fire 1000 rounds he/she would have to be quick on the reload the gun has a 17 / 19 clip

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

yes they are,but its not the gun but the idiot behind it, that is worse
Now you can buy one on the black market for £200 :eek:

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

and you came to know about this from ??????? :D ;)

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

I love guns and know alot of people who used to own them(all handed over to the police now) and you get to hear about people selling them :eek:
Spent most of my youth with one.

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

how can you 'love a gun' though, its a weapon to kill or mame.......

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

Yes ,but the only thing I have killed are animals for food

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

i can cetainly say, that i am digusted that you used a firearm to kill an animal.

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

How do you think some of them get killed,rabbits,deers

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

What would you use then?

If I was out hunting for food I'd rather have a rifle.

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

and you think i eat them ?

if they are killed with a firearm ?

NO!!

i would use trapping methods, or a knife



this seems wrong to me.

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

Well it seems much better to me. I'd rather shoot it and get it over than make it suffer MORE by being trapped for a period.

Anyway - it's just my opinion - and off topic - So i'll say no more.

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

That too slow you dont want the animal to suffer,a gun in the right hand is fast way to kill
When my son is older I will teach him too

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

I grew up working on my uncles farm, I was taught to handle firearms in a safe way. Still I am disturbed that certain firearms are finding their way onto the black market.
I remmeber not too long ago hearing about a Sniper rifle that would go through a brick wall from over a mile away. No amount of battlefield protection is going to stop that baby.

Kronas although you dont like the idea of animals being shot, I'd rather shoot an rabbit than go hare coursing or use snares (which I believe are now illegal). If a hunter is skilled he will kill the animal instantly, its rarely that they suffer a prolonged death. Remember that Rabbits are vermin. I personally would not shoot deer I think they are beautifull gracefull animals. And like my uncle I am against fox hunting.

Re: glock 18 seized in the UK
 

And I'm sure it made the owner a real star amongst his friends, but had he tried firing it I have little doubt that he'd have decorated the scenery (and then the sky) with bullet holes in just over a second and then find he's got an empty gun.

I just hope that, if he ever pulled the trigger, there weren't any innocent bystanders around.
