20$ Bet : does a semi-auto glock pistol shoot automatically? do you have to keep clicking the trigger?

Question

can you just hold the trigger and it will shoot until the clip is empty?
or
do you have to constantly keep clicking the trigger in order for it to shoot?

Answer 1

I hope you are not the sucker that bet that a semi-auto would fire full auto. If you are, get your wallet out because you lost, since semi-auto is one trigger pull per shot.



Even if it is converted to full-auto or selective fire then it is no longer a semi-auto, so the person who bet that a semi-auto would fire full-auto STILL loses the bet since a full-auto is not the subject of the bet.

Answer 2

A normal semi-automatic gun of any type fires each time you pull its trigger if it is loaded, the safety is off, etc. One might alter a semi-auto to be fully automatic...but that is illegal if it is not properly registered. A true automatic continues firing as long as one holds down the trigger until the ammo supply is exhausted. The normal Glock is semi-auto, not automatic. One of my pistols became fully automatic when I adjusted the trigger down too much. it was hard to control then, so I readjusted the trigger to make it a bit heavier. I have not seen a Glock with adjustable trigger, and that is one strike against it to me.

Answer 3

If you are talking about common garden variety street-legal Glocks, you have to pull the trigger separately for each shot.



However, I believe that Glock does make a fully automatic version that can only (in the USA) be purchased by police and military agencies.

Answer 4

You have to keep clicking the trigger for it to shoot., Though Glock did make a fully auto the G18.

Answer 5

Semi automatic means you still have to pull the trigger for every bullet you want to shoot but you only have to co_ck it one time. fully automatic means pull the trigger and empty the clip

Answer 6

why don,t you gO too the range and find out instead of asking around or are you afraid of the big bad gun,s fool \ a automatic fire,s as long as you hold the trigger or sear A SEMI AUTO MEAN,S YOU HAVE TOO PULL THE SODDING TRIGGER FOR EACH SHOT \ THINK YOU GOT IT NOW ?????

Answer 7

Glocks available commercially in the USA to the general public are semi-automatic only unless they've been illegally modified. The Glock Model 18 (unavailable Stateside to the general public) has a selector switch for automatic fire. Otherwise it looks like a Model 17 .9mm.

Answer 8

I'm not a gun expert, but don't you have to pull the trigger for a gun too shoot? Unless it's a T.M.P. in some way, 93r or something, a gun can't go full auto if it's not designed too.

Answer 9

No, you cannot hold the trigger in & have it fire like a full auto machine gun...unless you specifically alter it to do so.



From the factory, one trigger pull=one round fired.

Answer 10

You have to keep pulling the trigger auto matic means it reloads itself from the magazine... The only type iof a gun that shoots completly auto matic is like a sub machine gun or a gattlen gun...

Answer 11

semi auto means you load the mag once, c.o.c.k. it once, and empty it by pressing the trigger each time. auto is just pressing the trigger once and unloading the rounds. there are kits you can get to make it fully auto, but they are illegal as hell and would eventually just melt the barrel down. basically not worth it.

Answer 12

One trigger pull = one fired round

Answer 13

you have to constantly keep clicking the trigger in order for it to shoot

Answer 14

One trigger pull fires one round.

Answer 15

Semi-auto. you need to keep squeezing the trigger to fire until you stop or empty the mag

Answer 16

semi auto means when you pull the trigger you fire one round. you must pull the trigger every time to fire a round.

Answer 17

semi auto means just that...one pull one shot....glock makes a fully auto glock 9mm which can shoot 40 shots in like 3 seconds...but yea...there ya go

Answer 18

all semi-auto means is that you don't have to c.o.c.k (yahoo doesn't like that word apparently) it. fully auto is where the bullets keep coming when the trigger is pressed.

Answer 19

gotta keep pulling the trigger...youre thinking about full auto, lke an uzi-submachine gun, in which you hold it and it keeps shooting.

Answer 20
