    Default The American 180 .22LR Submachine Gun

    Just stumbled across this amazing gun!

    I'll post the video I saw initially, followed by one by Forgotten Weapons, which will go into more detail.

    Hey EM, can you tell me what it's about?
    I don't have time to watch - I'm busy posting about Joe Biden in a thread that has nothing to do with Joe Biden.

    Have you tried the chili at Wendy's?


    Sigh. I think this forum has jumped the shark as far as firearm discussion goes.
    May as well just join Facebook.

    I skipped through the videos, lots of talk, not much shooting.
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    A friend had an American 180 select fire .22 and it was a Jam-O-Matic on anything but CCI Mini-Mags. And once it got crudded up with 22 LR bullet lube and products of combustion, it jammed on the CCI stuff.

    Still, a fun toy.

    I predicted that you had either owned one or shot one.


    It's amazing how many kinds of guns there are in existence.
    I mean, I essentially have no other hobbies/interests that I'm into as much as firearms, and there are all sorts of guns I've never seen before.

    Cool stuff.

    I don't pay much attention to them but on Uzitalk they get some mention. I think they go for $8k to 10K these days, maybe more.

    I have heard they are finicky to run and as I recall like a lot of NFA, the original company is gone. E&L Manufacturing(who I have bought stuff from) they seem to make and supply parts for it.

    Certainly would be fun to shoot.
