A Swarm of Angry Bees: The American 180 .22LR Submachine Gun

The American 180 is a .22 rimfire submachine gun that fires at 1200-1500 rounds per minute or more, and feeds from drums of 177 to 275 rounds capacity. While it makes a great recreational machine gun, it was actually initially developed with law enforcement sales in mind. The notion was that the .22LR cartridge posed a minimal danger of overpenetration and was extremely easy to control, and the many repeated hits that could be made with the American 180 would make up for its lack of ballistic effectiveness. And that's not necessarily incorrect.
Several law enforcement agencies did actually buy the guns, and one police shooting involving one is documented, from 1974. It never became really popular with police agencies, though, and production basically ground to a halt in 1986 when it became impossible to manufacture new machine guns for the civilian market.

This thing probably wouldn't make it through the door of most old american cars (they were Steel back in the day) until the 10th+ round. The 30-06 coming out of the freaking BAR on the other hand... several cars at a time, engine blocks, the bank, etc. 12g essentially shoots 7-10 of these at a time, and .45 cal is, well, .45 cal--its twice as big, several times as powerful, slow as shit, and transfers *WAY* more energy as a result. The marketing on this was actually spot on. I had this idea while I was in the military, found someone had already done it in this gun. It's actually the perfect idea for civilian submachine gun policing, just need to work on the reliability of the mag, and perhaps switch to centerfire for ammo reliability as well (like 17hmr).

    Love that weapon!! What makes that gun awesome is that it probably cost him less pocket change than I have in my cup holder to fire of that many rounds to begin the video. Last time I bought .22 LR rounds it cost me $5 for 50 Remington’s at Cabela’s. I wish I had seen this video when the gun was still available. I signed up to buy at Julia awhile back for another auction our friend here was promoting. You’d be surprised how affordable most of their guns wind up being. The rare high end ones will empty your bank account quickly though. For those of you that are on the fence about buying through one of these auctions I can swear to the fact if they provide shipping you will be more than happy with the effort they put in to making sure your gun arrives exactly how it was advertised. I have had nothing but pleasant experiences in dealing with them.

    My first gun was a .22 LR way back in the 60s, when I was around 7 yrs old. Back then I even once got a chance to fire a Thompson SMG with the 55 round drum in full auto; (luckily it was already half empty or I couldn't have supported the weight of it), but I never imagined someone would have the 'diabolical imagination' to combine the two for this awesome American 180 "full-auto recreational sub-machine gun". :) I sure wish I had had a chance to fire one of these. It would have been way more manageable for a 7 year old than the Thompson! ;) Awesome video!

Initially they tend to spend it the same day/next day and be broke for the remainder of the week. Just gotta make sure the total amount is reasonable for the type of stuff they are supposed to spend it on and its a good way to learn the hard way that keeping a decent reserve of money for fun/important stuff is quite useful.

    It could indeed take a dozen rounds before one managed to get past the most of the ribcage or skull (.22LR LRN does not do well against heavy, rounded bone).

At that time, only the 177 round drum was available. Many of those sold were bought by prisons for riot control (in the late 60's and throughout the 70's in particular there were quite a few riots in US prisons), as a "less lethal" weapon system.

    Well this is no exaggeration but if a person stood still long enough (say a couple seconds) you could blow a hole through his torso big enough to look through and see behind him. The way this weapon works is on that principle that no other modern small arms uses; that of stacking projectiles on the same spot over and over and over. The ability to do that and do it fast puts this weapon into an entirely different category from any other .22 and indeed from any modern small arm. It's the same principle on how the 30 mm gun on a Warthog can ruin a tank. Modern tank armor could probably take a few hits from the 30 mm without full penetration. What no amount of tank armor can do is take 150 hits of 30 mm landing on the same area in fractions of a second. Incidentally that's the reason that the much-vaunted reactive armor used on Russian tanks (because they don't know how to build effective laminated armor like we have) is still old, tired technology that will not save their tanks. I don't care if the entire tank is covered with explosive panels, the first part of that 150 round 30 mm burst is going to detonate or defeat every reactive panel on that tank and then the other 130 rounds arriving a few milliseconds later are going to mangle it along with everything made of meat on the inside.

    @@justarandomtechpriest1578 Well, the Russians have been crowing for years about how their advanced high-tech modern whiz-bang reactive armor makes their tanks as well as US and British tanks with highly complex laminated armor, and that's simply not true. Not even close to being true. Reactive armor works very well against some forms of projectile, primarily anything with a shaped-charge warhead because interrupting the formation of the penetrative explosive plasma jet ruins the ability to penetrate armor. The irony is that the Russian reactive armor WILL probably defeat the warhead of a Hellfire missile and believe me, that's nothing to sneeze at. But against kinetic penetrators like the depleted uranium projectiles the 120mm main gun on an Abrams uses, reactive armor is useless. And it's a hundred times useless if you're raining fifty or a hundred smaller DU penetrators on top of a tank from the GAU8 of a Warthog. And no, "everybody" does not use reactive armor. You will see no reactive armor on an Abrams tank. As good as it is at defeating some kinds of projectile, its biggest disadvantage is that if it triggers any infantry standing within 20 yards is going to get blown apart. So note to self: Self, if serving as an infantryman in any army that uses reactive armor on its armored vehicles, the only two safe places for me are either inside the armored vehicle, or standing like 200 meters away from the damned thing.
