they are lucky no one else got hurt the way that weapon was jumping around in his hand, or he didn't get hurt more

[Black&Gold]

holy crap! why would he rest his hand underneath like that with it in fully auto?

[2006PSDSD]

What a dope

[bigwhite7.3stroker]

WOW he's lucky could have been worse

[DBM]

he wasn't resting his hand under it, the front grip came off...

This is *why* they don't make fully automatic pistols. That, and it's illegal as sht.

[1tonpower]

that was a bad move putting a handle that close to the business end.

Come on, don't say stuff like that,,,,

Of Course their not illegal. The Glock 18, just like the Beretta 92R, and MANY others, are perfectly legal to own as long as your state doesn't prohibit it AND it's federally registered (just like machineguns, silencers, sawed-offs, and destructive devices)

In this case, the gun was a converted 17 as the title says, and whoever attached the front grip onto it did a poor job. As the gun was running the shooters hand ended-up in front of the muzzle because that grip broke off and he was relying on it to fight the "push back".

He seemed unfamiliar with machine pistols and I'm not sure he could be blamed for shooting himself when, had the grip stayed on like it should, it would not have happened....

I've shot 18's & 93R's one-handed without a problem.
