This guide details the operation of a full-auto Glock equipped with an autosear conversion, as demonstrated by RECOILtv. It covers the distinction between autosear conversions and the factory Glock 18, the historical context of select-fire Glocks, and the practical implications of using stock conversions and high-capacity magazines. The video emphasizes the increased fun factor of full-auto Glocks while acknowledging their limited practical application for everyday use or concealed carry.

Quick Summary

Full-auto Glock conversions, often using an autosear backplate replacement, enable select-fire capability. While historically developed for special units, stock conversions enhance control for practical shooting, though they remain largely impractical for everyday carry. High-capacity magazines are a key feature for rapid fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an autosear conversion for a Glock?

An autosear conversion for a Glock typically involves replacing the backplate to enable full-auto fire. This is distinct from the factory Glock 18, which features a selector switch on the side of the slide.

How does a buttstock affect shooting a full-auto Glock?

Attaching a buttstock conversion to a full-auto Glock significantly improves control and stability, reducing muzzle rise and making it more practical to shoot compared to firing it as a standalone machine pistol.

Are full-auto Glocks practical for everyday use?

While full-auto Glocks are described as 'practically fun' and a 'blast' to shoot, they are generally not considered practical for everyday use or concealed carry due to their nature and legal restrictions.

What is the history behind select-fire Glocks?

The concept of a select-fire pistol for Glocks originated from a request by an Austrian special unit, EKO Cobra, in 1982, which led Gaston Glock to develop the Glock 18 model.
