Have you seen the after market switches to convert a Glock into a machine gun?

According to the indictment, Temple in January illegally possessed a Glock 9mm pistol equipped with a “Glock switch” – an after-market device which is designed to illegally convert a semiautomatic Glock pistol into a fully automatic machine gun.




quote:

“You are unable to control the firearm in an effective way. So essentially those projectiles, those bullets are being fired haphazardly and indiscriminately everywhere,” Beccio told the television station.

Guns outfitted with a Glock switch can fire up to 1,100 rounds a minute, ATF agent Tim Carroll told the television station. “It will continue fire unless you pull your finger off the trigger or the magazine runs out of ammunition,” Carroll said.

Yeah. There's a ghost inside the switch that works twice as hard to get your lead out.

You can buy them on wish.com. Get the Israeli wire stock to make it more controllable

As someone who used to work full time as a gunsmith, this is a new one on me. It almost looks like something someone mocked up to fool other people and wouldn’t actually work. Yeah, a Glock can be converted to full-auto, but I’ve never seen anything that looks like this…



and it would take a lot more internal modifications other than something you just plug into the back to make it effective.

Well he must really hate 9mm Glocks with a ghost switch then.

With the added weight of the drum mag, that might be controllable.

Glocks require internal modification in order to be converted to full auto, so I’m not sure how this isn’t bullshite. There’s more to it than what that article alludes to.

I have had a couple over the years.

1100 RPM is probably accurate.

They aren't plug in play, they require fitting, but not something that is terribly difficult. But the average user who expects to pop one on and it work flawlessly is probably going to be disappointed.

I no longer have an SOT so I can't play with these anymore.

I think something similar was probably used in the mid day bluebonnet shootout a few months ago in BR. I understand making the modification may be illegal. I’ve had several LEOs tell me it’s real.

A Glock that can fire up to 1100 rounds a minute?

Pretty fricking impressive considering the most one mag can hold is about 40 rounds.


Where can I get it converted to run on ammo belts like an M60 to really take advantage of this?
