It is an Austrian designed weapon, developed by the request of counter-terrorist unit EKO Cobra. Based on the Glock 17, which was originally designed in 1982, the earliest Glock 18 models were designed in 1985. As with the Glock 17, it fires the Nine - by - Nineteen - millimetre Parabellum cartridge. The iron sights are a rear notch and front post type, typical for a handgun. In-game, The Glock 18 is a high-recoil weapon, meaning it is difficult to stay on target at longer ranges. It also deals relatively low damage to targets, in some cases taking up to 5 hits to kill. The high recoil, obstructive muzzle flash and low damage means that the Glock 18 is not a weapon of precision. Where the Glock 18 excels is in its rate of fire - Eleven Hundred rounds per minute - not a single other weapon fires as quickly. Coupled with a tight hipfire spread, the Glock 18 is devastating up-close, providing an overwhelming volume of fire on target. The draw speed is good, too - so the Glock 18 makes a great sidearm for a long-range weapon. Effective use of the G18 means getting close to your opponent. Sheer volume of fire will mean you will win most firefights up close. Such is the rate of fire with the Glocks that Stopping Power is almost useless - I had most luck instead with Lightweight. Avoid long-range avenues, flank where you can and open up once you're in range - the enemy will not stand a chance. Aim speed isn't an issue with akimbo, and even reload times are quick - so Sleight of Hand is a waste of a perk. Use Bling if you want to pair attachments, such as akimbo and extended mags - otherwise the most effective blue perk would be Marathon, especially when paired with Lightweight. Steady aim tightens up your hipfire reticule somewhat, so is probably the most useful yellow perk to use
