The Glock 19c
One of the more popular weapons in Iraq, for those that can afford it, is the Glock 19 9mm pistol. the Glock 19 can fire full auto (1200 rounds a minute). The Glock 19 magazine only holds 17 rounds, this means you can empty it in less than second. However, you can also fire two or three short bursts instead, once you get used to firing a fully automatic pistol. A selector switch on the pistol allows you to switch between standard semiauto, and full auto. There is also a special 33 round magazine. Loaded with a standard 17 round magazine, the Glock 19 weighs about two pounds. The pistol is 7.3 inches long, with a 4.5 inch barrel. The current model, Glock 19C was developed in the late 1990s, for military and police use. An earlier version, introduced in 1986, had a lower rate of fire (350 rounds a minute).
