In his latest video, Andrew at GY6vids fires a Glock 17C (compensated Glock 17), which has been converted to a fully automatic machine gun, at a torso shaped block of ballistic gel. By the looks of things, he gets all 30 rounds on target.

I have to admire Andrew’s machine pistol skills. The last time I shot one, an original Glock 18C belonging to GLOCK USA,  I was all over the place to the point where I would have done far more damage in regular semi-auto against any adversary smaller than a barn door than I would have done on “fun mode”. There is no substitute for training and I plan on getting Alex C., our machine gun expert, to give me some lessons soon on how to shoot machine pistols.

I can guarantee you that for the next six months after posting this, I am going to get emails from people asking how to convert their Glock 17 into a machine gun. This happens Every. Single. Time. after writing blog post about fully automatic Glocks.

The emails usually start with “I know it’s illegal but….”. Hilariously, they often use their work email address. I don’t know what a middle manager of a Malaysian engineering firm plans to do with an illegal Glock 17 machine gun, or why he thinks it makes for a better gun than a semi-automatic version.
