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.

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

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

The report said the Glock can fire "armour-piercing ammunition".
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....

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
