Investigators with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement have revealed that a Glock handgun that had been converted into a fully-automatic weapon was among several items recovered by deputies during a traffic stop in Flagler County.

“All the power these weapons have, and the kick that it has, unless you are very proficient in handling it and knowing what the kick is going to be, it could get out of control,” Jefferson said.

Glock 17, as quoted by the firearms expert they consulted for the article.

And undetectable with metal detectors because they are made entirely out of plastic.

I thought they were made out of porcelain in Germany, could get through airport Xray and cost more than you make in a month?

“Capable of mowing down people in a matter of seconds.” Got to love reports from non gun people.

if I was the reporter it would have sounded like

“ the converted Glock 17 is basically a spray and pray firearm that only a fool would carry. Without the forward hand grip found on the Glock 18 the weapon is generally not controllable and is about as useful as a case of the measles.”

I want a giggle switch. Can we own one and then explain it self identifies as semi auto?

Fully semiautomatic with diarrhea of the muzzle.

Yeah it’s just a toy. If it weren’t these would be issued to police, military, etc.

Wouldn't be the first completely impractical firearm in my safe....

The G18 has a forward grip? :O

well “as a reporter,“ I am obligated to get something wrong while reporting on firearms.

The expert is not wrong. A Glock 18 without a stock is uncontrollable in all but the most skilled hands.

Nah, it's easy. You aim for their feet and after a short squeeze you get them and their upstairs neighbor.

It is quite clear we have some members here that have NOT fired fully automatic weapons, and at the very least, no glock 17 converted. They're not jamomatic ghetto blasting toys, even if a hood rat gets their hands on one.

Typically those that have experience shooting full auto, don't do mag dumps because they're impractical and don't teach you anything too important. It can be fun, sure, but it's not practical most of the time. It's also not to say some inexperienced punk won't get a few or enough shots on target to achieve their goal with mag dumps. Kind of the point, really. It'd be silly to say it doesn't work either.

An average shooter can learn to shoot full auto just fine. I've seen it myself many times. A machine pistol without a stock is not ideal for the first experience, but not by any means as challenging to shoot properly as I think many lead to believe. It's 9mm and the muzzle climb you get from these is predictable and simple to control if you have a little know how or instruction.

3 or 4 round bursts with a converted 17 is no joke and makes a serious and effective tool that's hard to beat for the size and weight. You're talking cyclic rates over 1000 rounds per minute + 33 round stick mags. You could CCW one for fucks sake. These Chinese switches are worth their weight in gold IMO.

Anyways, these cheapo switches are nothing new, and I'm again surprised to see they're still surfacing in the news after the big busts 4+ years ago.
