Auto Sear: $20 Device That Turns Handguns Into Automatic Weapons

To Julia Rothman When Shina FeinbergJuly 1, 2022Has been updated 11:29 am ETimageFor $ 20, a device called an autoshear can turn a pistol into a machine gun. Last year, US officials seized 1,500 guns at Autoshear. Experts suggest that they make up a small part of the total existence. At least one gun was remodeled in Autoshear in a shooting that killed six people in Sacramento in April, lawmakers said.New York Police Department inspector Courtney Niran says the device is causing increasingly annoying problems."The Auto Shear is a small device made of metal or plastic that can be a fully automated weapon for any pistol. With a single trigger, the gun can fire 16 shots.""This is a workaround for those who cannot legally obtain AR or AK. They do not give them to police officers for reasons. They are illegal at the city, state, and federal levels." "Two years ago, in one of our investigations, in addition to a personally created firearm or ghost gun cache, an individual had an autoshear in his place. To me, a very small Lego. It looked like a piece of. The small square piece has some holes and is not bigger than a quarter. " "What is commercially manufactured is mainly manufactured in China and sent to the United States through various international websites, and now people are also 3D printing them.""Many people on the street and in online forums call the Autosears Glock Switch. (But Glock Switch has nothing to do with Glock's company. It's really a misnomer.)""Generally, if you buy it commercially on eBay or the dark web, you can buy it for about $ 20. But for those who do 3D printing, it basically costs about $ 1. increase.""Because this was the beginning of the ghost gun, it appeared on the radar. They started with dribbles and dribbles, and then came like wildfire.""Usually, the production of ghost guns is closely related to the possession and production of autosher. The most scary thing about guns is how many there are and the different ways people can get them. I think it's all. ""From last year's New York City to today's New York City, ghost guns have increased by over 200%.""There is no difference between a bullet shot from a commercial firearm and a ghost gun. The same bullet. It's just as deadly."
