Slo-Mo Full Auto Glock

Normally, when discussing the use of automatic fire, we typically think of its role in suppressive fire.

While there is no mistaking the trauma of such a blast, you will notice that it only in the heavier buckshot loads that you begin to see significant penetration.

I know its not a good side-by-side comparison, but it is fun to watch.
