As a true fully automatic pistol the G18 is one of the most specialized GLOCK pistols. With an external fire selector at the rear of the slide you can switch from semi-automatic to full-automatic firing mode.
It comes with an extended 19 round magazine and can provide greater firepower with the optional 33-round magazine. The rate of fire in full-automatic-mode is approximately 20 rounds per second.
Released in 1987 the pistol has the same characteristics like other previous models and the frame size of the service pistol classic G17.

The G18 pistol is a select-fire fully automatic pistol. GLOCK Ges.m.b.H. and GLOCK Inc. do not sell G18 pistols to the U.S. commercial market due to legal regulations applicable to fully automatic firearms. The select-fire G18 pistol is only available to law enforcement agencies and the military. If you have any questions concerning the purchase or possession of fully automatic firearms, please consult state or local law enforcement and/or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
