Is the Glock 18 legal for civilian ownership?

The Glock 18 is a select-fire firearm and falls under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Civilian ownership is heavily restricted and requires federal registration, a tax stamp, and adherence to specific state and federal laws, making it a restricted NFA item.

What safety considerations are important when shooting a full-auto firearm like the Glock 18?

Safe handling includes maintaining a firm grip to control muzzle rise, keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction, trigger discipline (finger off the trigger until ready to fire), and being aware of the backstop to ensure projectiles do not travel unsafely.
