This is the most gawd-awful journalism I have ever had the displeasure of reading... there are so many erroneous statements in this article, I would almost think it was satire....

THE first fully automatic handgun to surface in the UK - capable of firing 1,100 rounds a minute - has been seized in a police raid.

It is a Glock 18, banned from sale in the US and described as a "monster of a weapon" that fires bullets with the intensity of a high- pressure water hose.

Too bad there isn't an 1, 100 round magazine for it. The Mirror is right on par with The Enquirer and World News Weekly when it comes to quality journalism. The Glock 18 isn't banned from sale in the U.S. either, you just need the proper license for it. Fscking retards.

Journalists dont lie, whats wrong with you. They bring truth to the masses.

They act like the thing is a nuclear bomb or something. Give me a break, its ONE freaking gun people. I half expected this "expert" to say: "It could go off at any second killing everyone in Britain."

Well, given 45 minutes it might

I had images of the 30mm gun from the A10 mounted on a truck or something. Not this.

Provided you had pre-loaded magazines, everyone stood in a line, etc.

It's sort of funny that, after taking the trouble to italicize, underline, and boldface "their," you didn't notice your typo.

Oh, and if you happened to have a magazine that could carry 3.4 million bullets.

As fast as this thing is supposed to fire it should have a lot more than a 19-bullet clip.

Just because something is capable of doing something doesn't mean it is used like that. I doubt the people who use these guns in an official capacity keep it in the fully automatic mode.

Mirror is one of the worst tabloids in the UK, hardly what I'd call journalism. Try a broadsheet next time.

33-round extended length is also available. Just FYI.

The Mirror is a rag. It makes the Weekly World News look like Time.

Wait a gun in britian they made gun ownership illegal so no one should have guns (yes some retards actually believe that sh!t)

When you outlaw guns ONLY outlaws have guns.

Least OUR founding fathers understood that--2nd Amendment (after freedom of speech the founding fathers viewed the right to firearms as next in importance).

Can anyone tell that im getting excited about turning 21 and getting my first handgun .

 

[PanzerIV]

What the hell!? I was envisioning this giant Howitzer type gun or something and they are talking about a Glock? I realize automatic weapons are a rarity in the UK but they really hyped this one up. Sounds JUST like American journalism...

Agreed and good luck trying to get a good calibur gun in Kalifornia.

I want to see the clip on that bad boy....it being capable of firing 1,100 rounds a minute and all.

Why does it sound like this 'journalist' would wet his pants at the mere picture of a gun btw?
