Can i legally purchase this gun anywhere? I would like to add it to my collection, and it seems as it is illeagal due to its automatic firing capabilities.

So presumeably if the owner of one ever decided to sell it you could buy it (for an astronomical price, no doubt), with the appropriate paperwork, if you lived in a full-auto friendly state.
Edit
Here's a much easier, cheaper, (and yes. . .legal) way to get a similar effect, though you may not find it quite as satisfying:

Follow the sheep to the slaughter, follow the maniac off the bridge, dress like eminem because he's "cool". For christ sake, doesn't anyone around here have any originality? I wonder how many people claim they love glocks so much without having ever fired one.
I personally don't believe some of the "reliability" test that people have taken pictures of. I've shot glocks before, but I won't buy one because I don't like them. But buying one just to hop on the band wagon? Sheesh...
What's the obsession with glocks? I have this fear that at some point in the near future, the only handgun brand in existance will be glock.

Who said anything about buying one just to hop on the bandwagon??? The original poster asked about the 18. I have one, and a few others. i think Glocks are great and use one in competitions. I have many other guns, many that I think are as good as the Glock but I prefer the Glock myself... actually, reading your response to this inquiry makes it seem like you have some sort of obsession with bashing Glocks...
Back to the topic, the 18 is a curiosity, fun to shoot with a stock installed, but in my opinion useless when compared to subguns.
Exactly, people only own them b/c they are popular like eminem.
It has nothing to do with reliability, speed and durability.
the 1/2 of IPSC shooters, federal agents and such shoot them b/c they are trendy.
shows what you know
Anyway, back to the point, you could buy one or convert any glock to select fire, if you did it as an LE sample or such. one of the dept here issues the to the guy on point (he can shoot one handed with mirror in the other)

Yea, all those tests are made up.

I have shot a 18 and it was a hoot. Faster than a Mac. But personally I will pass on any Glock. Not my fancy.
Everyone I know who has Glocks has them because they like them and shoot them well, not because they want to be stylish or follow the crowd.
Some people like Dodge, some Chevy, some Ford, its largely a matter of taste. Glocks are excellent guns and are popular for that reason. I have 10 of them. I use them in competition and for work.
Glocks are duty weapons for an awful lot of police agencies. I doubt the agencies were trying to be stylish or follow the crowd when they adopted them.
The bottom line, if you dont like Glocks then dont buy one, but dont bash the people who do.
as to adding personal pieces of flair, wear some zany buttons.[:D]
