Re: British Army going with Glock 17

This was covered on the BBC news with the usual errors.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20978842

"The pistols are most effective at a range of between 10 and 25 metres, and the Glock 17 is lighter, more accurate and its magazines can carry more bullets than the Browning it replaces, according to the trials team."

I wish they'd find out that the word "bullets" isn't synonymous with cartridges and I wonder why the Glock is not at it's most effective at ranges of less than 10 metres? I would have thought that sticking it up someone's nose and pulling the trigger would be fairly effective.
