Re: real glock 18C

It is a limited model. I shouldn;t be available to civilians. Maybe that's why you don;t see many of them

Re: real glock 18C

It is not available to civilians in 99% of countries legally and is very rarely used in th real world as it is so uncontrollable to fire.

But i think in America with a specific class license you can own one but with restrictions etc, same one that allows the use of a 'squirrel slayer' i think?

Or it may just be discontinued and that's it.

Re: real glock 18C

Re: real glock 18C

The Austrian special forces EKO Cobra, requested it back in the 80's for similar purposes to the MAC series of the US.

I think i have seen the Polish special forces, GROM use it back in the day and maybe the Austrian's still do but i am not 100% sure on who uses it now.

I think it is pretty much banned by either Glock themselves or different countries laws for civilian use.

Re: real glock 18C

Don't worry it only shows a good reason not to own a real Glock 18c, particularly if you are stupid enough.

Re: real glock 18C

I always thought they were common enough, most of the rapid fire shooting competitions Ive seen have at least 1 in it as apparently they have a fairly small full auto kickback compred to other guns in its class.

Also know that few of the PSNI special weapons squads carry them, but I mean only a few.

Nice wee gun to hold, if you get the chance check one out.

i got the airsoft one, that's pretty much the same to hold as the real one probably, apart from mine is so light

Re: real glock 18C

Its MIL/LE only according to glock - so they aren't going to make it into civvie hands anyway (at least not legally) - but aren't common as a military weapon either (no use for it).

Think that answers your question.

Don't forget that there is both a G18 and a G18C (separate weapons, same as all glocks).

Re: real glock 18C

what about a G26C or a G23C i can't remember what it's called, hehe. is that basically the same reasons as the G18C?

Re: real glock 18C

Fully auto glocks arent available to civilians.

Full auto sears for glocks are.

Re: real glock 18C

Who says you can't control them, 50 rounds each from twin 18's.

The stocks look a bit gay though!
