And they do sell extra clips.

The 3-round burst is what the very high cycle rate is for. It's very
effective.

Once upon a time while roaming around at a shooting event on a military
base, I got a chance to try out a couple of select fire military arms
(including a Galil and an FN-FAL) with 3-round burst. It is a huge
advantage over timed fire.

BTW since our gov't in it's wisdom will not let us have such dangerous
toys, the Glaser "safety" slug is a good close approximation. Loses
accuracy at range, but really kicks ass close up.

If I ever get shot, I hope it's with a Glasser. And the FBI
agrees with me.

I doubt the FBI would shoot you. Perhaps one of your boyfriends, but
Hoover is dead.

That's what the Weaver family in Idaho and the religious kooks in Waco
thought too.

Well, you're right. If they didn't have any guns, they wouldn't have
been shot. :-)

Why would you hope to get shot with anything, much less a specialized
antipersonnel round?

Some years ago, various agencies were using Glaser loads but it wouldn't
surprise me if something better was out there now. Why do you and the
FBI think they're ineffective?

Ineffective is a bad word. Before Glaser, court baliffs and others expecting
to engage dangerous criminals but avoid "collateral damage" in a crowded
courtroom, et cetera, handloaded .38 cal HBWCs upside down to create a super
hollow point that hit hard but didn't come out the other side a la Fearless
Fosdick to kill the judge or jurors. The Glaser "Safety" round does that
even better, making it a good choice in a home or apartment where one would
prefer not to penetrate walls. However, being designed NOT to penetrate
far, it cannot produce a deep deadly wound channel nor penetrate a magazine,
car window or much else without loosing knock-down capability. It is very
effective at what it was designed to do but there are far more deadly
general purpose bullets available.

Once again Vito, you manage to conceal a tiny grain of truth in a load
of twaddle.

Glaser slugs are designed for higher velocity, thus more energy, and to
shed that energy almost immediately into the target. The result is a
tremendous wound channel, very deadly. The little thing you got right is
that they are not designed to penetrate windows, doors, etc etc.

I would like to get shot at with no result.
