Reply #15: Closed course, two handed grip with a Glock DESIGNED for Auto fire

[happyslug]

From what I have read Glock does sell a full-automatic version of its pistols, it is heavier than a standard Glock (Through on the Glock web site the weight of both pistols are given as almost the same). I have also seen and heard of people doing the same with full automatic M1896 Mauser "Broom-Handle" Full Automatic Pistols, Browning P35 in Full-automatic Mode, and even Russian Stechkins in full automatic. The issue is NOT that the weapon fired, but was the fire effective? In the video you cite, the shooter hit the target, but was his firing all of those rounds more effective than if he had fired in the Semi-automatic mode? I do not think so. If you are a police officer and you run across someone like the shooter in the Video, you will be hit even if the shooter has a flintlock pistol. He has had plenty of experience with that weapon, AND HE IS FIRING IT IN A CONTROL COURSE (Both things rare in real life).

Please note once he opts for multiple targets he fires in the Semi-automatic mode, for its increase accuracy and where you see him shoot the Glock in a one hand hold in Full Automatic mode you do not see the target (You do see the target when he has the Glock in a two hand mode). Two handed is perferred, but do you really think most gang members will undergo the training needed to shoot as well as this shooter?
