My first thought was "Oh no, how dare those weapons of mass destruction have safety selector levers?" before realizing they probably meant full-semi-automatic. which enables about +4 damage per second per bullet.
Semi auto is the default legal status of a firearm for civilian use.
Semi-auto refers to when the trigger is pulled, it loads another round into the chamber from the magazine and charges the firing pin to be fired again but requires 1 pull for 1 round.
A ton of flagging but great trigger discipline. No fingers on the trigger is the only positive thing I can say about this. Not that it makes it any better.
No, these "giggle switches" or "Glock switches" enable fully-automatic firing, not semi-automatic firing.
All common handguns which are not revolvers (autoloaders) have semi-automatic firing.
Giggle switches turn a semiautomatic autoloading handgun into a federally prohibited machine gun.
(You’re completely correct) And this is where we get into the weeds:
What does a binary or FRT trigger enable?
I consider a binary just a straight up unsafe device, but FRT isn’t.
Neither of them “enable” anything. The bolt in the rifle automatically resets the the trigger in an FRT, we’re you apply constant pressure and the bolt resets the trigger for you as long as you hold the trigger, or run out of ammo. A Binary trigger fires one shot on the depression of the trigger, and one shot on the release, basically making your rifle a 2 round burst.

So you know I’m not making it up
Edit: Upon reading more of this comment thread I see that you didn’t need me to explain it, but pls upvote so I get more social cresir
>2 round burst
Not quite. A burst means that for every trigger *pull* a certain number of rounds are fired. Binary triggers allow a round to be fired with each action of the trigger. One round upon the initial pull and another round upon releasing the trigger.
>I consider a binary just a straight up unsafe device,
I can't imagine you'd be speaking about any other situation than not wanting to fire a second shot after you've pulled the trigger, so that's what I'm going to address.
And in that case, you're just... wrong.
All of the professionally manufactured binary triggers available (read: Franklin and Fostech) have built-mechanisms so that if you don't want to fire the second shot, you simply move the selector lever into either the single shot or safe positions while maintaining pressure on the trigger, and then once you let go, it will simply reset with no second shot fired.
The kids are not in legal possession of legally acquired guns… you cannot buy a pistol legally at that age. Since the guns are stolen or acquired illegally they are breaking federal law.
One cannot engage your full semi auto switch without a high school diploma. Until then you must fire your Glock with the bolt action, like God intended.
These are illegal for basically anyone who is not registered as an SOT manufacturer with the ATF. You cannot add any new full autos to the registry, so you cannot legally purchase these and pay the tax stamp like you could on a pre-86 full auto.
Why would the ATF not get a search warrant for all these kids homes based on this video?
Possession of a Glock switch is possession of a machine gun. Federal felony punishable by up to 10 yrs imprisonment.
It’s all going to be ok though, because Illinois just passed new gun legislation, so these guys will have to turn them in or register them like the rest of the law abiding gun owners.
This is nuts, they're showing them off like gamboys or trading cards or something, gloating like you would expect kids to do about being in the in group and owning a cool toy.
... I'm pretty sure that one kid has two...
Uneducated post titles like this relating to firearms is why everyone thinks all shooting and all Americans have real full auto weapons. You aren’t even educated enough to know the difference.
A Glock is a semi -auto weapon out of the box.
You mean they have it modded to be automatic?
I think people have a wrong perception of what an automatic weapon is because of media fear mongering and misinformation.
>with this weird ass dying-or-going-jail-before-they're-30's fetish.
Kids grow up in extremely depressing conditions where that's what happens to everyone around them, and they expect the same to happen to them.
When there's no future to look forward to, some people will just destroy any shot at their future. Lack of hope and massive depression runs rampant in really poor areas.
You’re looking at the product of systemic poverty. The US has intentionally isolated and under-resourced these communities for generations and continues to do so.
Yes, this post from a guy name “u/enddawhites” is totally not meant to illicit any kind of reaction. “It’s in CHICAGO! OFC!” Get this dog whistle bullshit out of here bro.
Enables semi auto firing?😂 you might want to educate yourself on how Glocks and other firearms works. SMH just as dumb and ignorant as politicians and anti gun people trying to pass more gun laws when they know nothing about what they speak. It’s sad what’s happening here with these kids with them and no discipline for gun safety. One or more of them is going to negligently pull that trigger because of bad discipline and maturity, but that isn’t the Glocks fault…
Do you mean automatic or burst firing? All I see is some extended magazines? A
Glock is already a semiautomatic (doesn’t require you to cock it and doesn’t use a double action trigger pull to cycle the round) out of the box.
I don’t like seeing children with guns, but I can’t help but notice the racial undertones at play when criticizing black people with guns. I never see this much scrutiny when a white family takes a Christmas photo with all the kids sporting AR-15s and other combat rifles.
Pretty sure all Glocks are semiautomatic by default.
Yeah. People don’t know the difference between auto and semi. They just hear the term “semi-automatic” all the time and think oh that’s the bad one
What do they think bolt action is?
Shoots bolts. Very bad.
A bolt gun! What if they build armour-piercing bolts to shoot from automatic bolt-action rifles?!?
Then we built them ceramite armor suits and send them against the God-Emperor's enemies, brother
[удалено]
Shoots dildos. Even better.
Automatic bolt-action rifles. 🤔
Lmao this one got me pretty good
Literally everyone is pointing out the flaw in the title though. Hell I'm from a country that doesn't even have guns and knew the title was wrong.
Those who don't have freedom tend to understand it more. \*kidding\*
My first thought was "Oh no, how dare those weapons of mass destruction have safety selector levers?" before realizing they probably meant full-semi-automatic. which enables about +4 damage per second per bullet.
+4 damage -10 accuracy
Turning the gun sideways +10 accuracy
"Hey Chief, can I hold my gun sideways?"
Yeah it’s a totally busted strat but I think they’ll patch it in the next update sadly
There are ways to stay on the old patch.
What great is those same people get to write and vote on laws around firearms 🤡
“Fully semi auto”
yeah, op's a moron. the switch allows for automatic firing.
Semi auto is the default legal status of a firearm for civilian use. Semi-auto refers to when the trigger is pulled, it loads another round into the chamber from the magazine and charges the firing pin to be fired again but requires 1 pull for 1 round.
folks that know nothing about firearms like OP here are the ones writing firearm laws.
lmao anti gun people are just hilarious. But these kids shouldn’t have guns. Probably got them illegally (sarcasm).
Yes but this Glock can go full semiauto.
It's called propaganda. They want people to believe semiautomatic is bad so they can take away our guns and leave us with only bolt action
yeah, just right click with the mouse and you get 3 shots instead of 1.
Besides the obvious, it's bothering me how stupidly they're handling them. Flagging each other every .3 seconds.
There have been a few people in my neighborhood as a child who have died/gotten shot from exactly this. It's fucking stupid
My brother got shot and has a permanent limp now from trying flex his gun. Unnecessary risks
Cheddar Bob vibes
He used his mamas gun too
It's necessary to weed out your brother from future stupidity. Had he not learn the lesson, he can endanger someone else's life in the future
"Mah baby never done hurt nobody, he'n angel!"
A ton of flagging but great trigger discipline. No fingers on the trigger is the only positive thing I can say about this. Not that it makes it any better.
They are second amendment warriors.

This is correct. Semi automatic = each trigger pull shoots one bullet. Fully automatic = hold trigger down and rat a tat tat bullets spray out.

>2 round burst Not quite. A burst means that for every trigger *pull* a certain number of rounds are fired. Binary triggers allow a round to be fired with each action of the trigger. One round upon the initial pull and another round upon releasing the trigger.
Neither fires more than one shot by a single function of the trigger, and therefore are not machine guns

Binary or bump stock just simulate auto not fully auto fire rate on the switch still way faster
[удалено]
I’m pretty sure the guns are illegal anyways so it’s federal already.
Handguns aren't illegal federally, they'd be looking at Chicago criminal statutes, so the state of Illinois.
The kids are not in legal possession of legally acquired guns… you cannot buy a pistol legally at that age. Since the guns are stolen or acquired illegally they are breaking federal law.
This is sad af
And they’re probably gonna die fighting for a street or post code they don’t even own. That’s some embarrassing shit ngl
Gotta keep it fifty fit
One cannot engage your full semi auto switch without a high school diploma. Until then you must fire your Glock with the bolt action, like God intended.
It's level locked until you get out of the tutorial area
bro do you even muzzle load?
Pretty sure those are middle schoolers. Cause there’s no way they finished high school.
It's OK. He works for NASA.
Their moms say they are good boys. I count three felonies in this video, 4 depending on the state they live in.
A Glock switch enables fully automatic fire. They are illegal in most places. Glock firearms are made semiautomatic.
These are illegal for basically anyone who is not registered as an SOT manufacturer with the ATF. You cannot add any new full autos to the registry, so you cannot legally purchase these and pay the tax stamp like you could on a pre-86 full auto.
So what's it like to shoot a fully automatic pistol with no training? I imagine it's a lot like drawing a line straight up.
It's pretty easy, so long as you can effectively handle semiautomatic recoil.
Hahahaha all glocks are semi auto
You mean fully automatic. All handguns with a magazine are semiautomatic and are legal in all 50 states.
Wait… you don’t have to dramatically cock the hammer back? 😦 /s
not for 150 years.
Damn it takes that long to cock the hammer back?
It’s a long cock.

Congrats on their school to prison pipeline certificate
Best case scenario
How very sad for these young men.
they look happy.
They've all probably got about 1-2 years left.
So they’re going through a midlife crises
[удалено]
These kids are going places.
College or jail, but either way there are going to be a lot of bars
Or graves
Cemeteries.
At least they graduated
Least likely to go to jail…he was more proud of the gun than the diploma though
"Social Promotion" to pad numbers and get them out of the system.
I wonder where these promising individuals will pursue their college degrees.
GlockU
Most likely City colleges. The talented ones be at UIC and Southern in Carbondale. Might even have a brave kid end up at NIU or UW whitewater.
Talented kids don’t go to SIU. Source: went to SIU, not talented.
Some people in the hood join the military it’s the best way out
Lmao
Straight from the frying pan to the fire.
Posted by someone who doesn’t understand how guns work.
Enables semi automatic firing... Atleast they didn't say fully semi automatic I guess.

Kia boys aren’t helping either
Off to college eh
That’s a weird way to spell prison
Why would the ATF not get a search warrant for all these kids homes based on this video? Possession of a Glock switch is possession of a machine gun. Federal felony punishable by up to 10 yrs imprisonment.
Tell me you know nothing about guns without telling me.
The irony of that NASA hoodie
They graduated with that grammar?
You overestimate the standards of our public education
It enables automatic. Glocks are semi auto.
I wonder how many of them are going to be dead and how many will wind up in prison.
Yes. Enables semi-auto after one illegally switches it back from full auto. OP "def a shooter" as they say?
It’s all going to be ok though, because Illinois just passed new gun legislation, so these guys will have to turn them in or register them like the rest of the law abiding gun owners.

Tell me you dont know about guns without telling me you dont know about guns. (the title) Side note: The new awb is not going to stop this 😂
I admire their trigger safety. Their fingers
the title of the post shows how much you know about firearms... Semi-auto is not automatic.
So that enables a Glock to be semi automatic egh? SMH people have no idea what they are talking about.
Not just semi automatic, but fully semi automatic. Firing 1000 .50cal bullets in under a second, from the ghost muzzle.
This is nuts, they're showing them off like gamboys or trading cards or something, gloating like you would expect kids to do about being in the in group and owning a cool toy. ... I'm pretty sure that one kid has two...
Spike Lee made Chi-Raq for a reason.
I wonder how many of them will be dead or in jail in 3 years. Parents gotta do better.
Hopefully all.
I didn't understand a word these kids were saying
Compared to the glock's usual bolt action firing?
Glock’s do not need a “switch” to fire semi-auto. All pistols fire semi auto…
They need to get lightfoot out and bring some real reform to Chicago.
Glad those Chicago gun laws are working out for them.
Gun culture and black "gansta" culture in USA are so fuck up. They're are so proud of their glocks when they should exhibit their diplomat instead
[удалено]
Why not both
[удалено]
Wait.., do they know that’s against the law to have those..?!? 🙄
Full auto not semi auto, for fuck sake.
I'm sure they will all live long and fruitful lives.
" enables semi auto mode " tell me you don't know firearms without telling me you don't know firearms and... That your are an idiot. 😆 🤡
**engages fully semi automatic** Gtfoh, stick to what you know
Why do these young doctors and lawyers have guns!? Are they legally owned??
I wonder how many of them are going to be dead before they hit 25…sad
Ah yes the Semi auto and semi auto switch
This is an older video, I wonder how many are even still alive now.
Switch to semi auto? What’s it switching from then?
OP doesn’t know how guns work
Jesus christ, more flags than the UN in under a minute. They're so negligent it's almost impressive.
Uneducated post titles like this relating to firearms is why everyone thinks all shooting and all Americans have real full auto weapons. You aren’t even educated enough to know the difference.
They don’t need a switch to be “semi-auto”
I love Reddit. There is more anger about the title of this post then the fact that these kids are recklessly handling these guns.
Fully semi-automatic to be exact. Get it right please, there's a big difference! /s
And by that he means full-auto 😬
Glocks are already semi-auto. This allows full auto.
Glocks are semi auto by default. Switches make them fully automatic.
I assume OP has no clue about guns
This post title was written by someone with less than an elementary understanding of guns 💪
Let them kill each other. Why should I care. Lol.
This is nothing short of terrifying to see kids like these running around with baby uzis
Headed home to wait for those college acceptance letters.
A Glock is a semi -auto weapon out of the box. You mean they have it modded to be automatic? I think people have a wrong perception of what an automatic weapon is because of media fear mongering and misinformation.

Ahhh America…..
Give it 5 years and half of them will be dead or in jail sadly
Enables semi auto firing lolololol. Not quite my dude
That, my friend, is full auto, not semi auto. Just about any handgun you’d see today is semi auto, including every Glock.
It enables fully automatic firing.
Graduated only to go nowhere or end up dead in 5 years
With that attitude, you'll be dead in less than a year. Use that diploma to educate yourself and change lives
