Their casualty rates do speak for themselves. Fun website showing Chicago shooting stats:They are a handful and are very difficult to control in an accurate manner without a solid two-handed grip and LOTS of practice...even then it's probably only good at a very short range!
Gang-bangers have a tendency to NOT practice with their firearms, so it's not skill that gets hits.
Personally, I wouldn't want a Glock 18 (or anything with a switch for that matter) as I'm not into wasting ammo... especially when I'd be missing 99% of my shots!
