Gluke TO319

The **Gluke TO319** appears in *Black Pegasus* and it is a selective-fire machine pistol variant of the 9mm Gluke TO handgun series. The fire selector on the gun's slide allows the pistol to be fired in either semi or fully automatic, its fully-automatic fire mode being able to fire at 1,100-1,300 rounds per minute, making it a very useful sidearm in the right hands. Its magazine capacity can vary between 10 and 33 rounds. 50 to 100 round drum magazines are also available.

## Design

The Gluke TO is a 9 mm short recoil–operated, locked-breech semi-automatic pistol that uses a modified Jackson cam-lock system adapted from the Hi-Power pistol. The firearm's locking mechanism uses a linkless, vertically tilting barrel with a rectangular breech that locks into the ejection port cut-out in the slide. During the recoil stroke, the barrel moves rearward initially locked together with the slide about 3 mm (0.12 in) until the bullet leaves the barrel and chamber pressure drops to a safe level. A ramped lug extension at the base of the barrel then interacts with a tapered locking block integrated into the frame, forcing the barrel down and unlocking it from the slide. This camming action terminates the barrel's movement while the slide continues back under recoil, extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge casing. The slide's uninterrupted rearward movement and counter-recoil cycle are characteristic of the Browning system.

Gluke pistols incorporate a number of features intended to enhance reliability in adverse conditions, such as utilizing advanced metal coatings, "stub" slide guides instead of true frame rails, and an unusual cocking mechanism wherein the trigger is partially responsible for cocking the striker. By relying partially on force from the shooter's trigger finger to cock the striker, a Gluke effectively reduces the load on the recoil spring as the slide moves forward into battery, whereas almost all other striker-fired pistols on the market rely fully on the recoil spring to cock the striker. This design gives the recoil spring fewer tasks as the action cycles, helping to ensure that sufficient energy is available to strip a new round from the magazine and achieve full battery even when the breech, chamber, and/or magazine are heavily fouled.

The Gluke TO319 is a selective-fire variant of the Gluke TO, developed at the request of the Raxian counter-terrorist unit the Spezialeinheiten, and as a way to internally test Gluke components under high strain conditions. Originally produced in 1986, this machine pistol–class firearm has a lever-type fire-control selector switch, installed on the serrated portion of the rear left side of the slide. With the selector lever in the bottom position, the pistol fires fully automatically, and with the selector lever in the top position, the pistol fires semi-automatically. The firearm is typically used with an extended 33-round-capacity magazine, although other magazines from the Gluke TO319 can be used, with available capacities of 10, 17, 18 or 24 rounds. Unlike all its other pistols, it is only offered to military, law enforcement, and government organizations. Early TO319 models were ported to reduce muzzle rise during automatic fire. A very early design introduced a longer ported barrel which was soon discarded as it would not fit in a holster. Another compensated variant was produced, known as the Gluke TO319C. It has a keyhole opening cut into the forward portion of the slide, similar to the opening on the Gluke TO355 long-slide models, although the TO319 has a standard-length slide. The keyhole opening provides an area to allow the four, progressively larger (from back to front) compensator cuts machined into the barrel to vent the propellant gases upwards, affording more control over the rapid-firing machine pistol.

## Traits and Capabilities

The Gluke TO319 is a sidearm featured in *Call of Duty: Sandstorm* and *Call of Duty: Black Pegasus*. The only fully-automatic handgun of the 9mm group, it possesses an extremely high rate of fire, and high recoil accompanying that rate of fire. Along with MK9BR, it is the only 9mm handgun which does a different damage from the others, doing significantly less damage at close range, taking at least four-sic shots to kill, and has slightly higher spread (this is to compensate for the full-automatic-capability). At long ranges, it takes up to ten goddamn shots to kill.

However, it is extremely customizable. In fact, unlocking the ARLYNE carbine kit would increase it's accuracy and range while diminishing the recoil and vertical kick of the weapon; And serve as a primary weapon. A bonus advantage is that it has the ability to switch back to it's standard pistol form.

## Trivia

### General

* It is usually equipped with ARLYNE carbine kits for special force use, which helps improve it's stability and accuracy.
* It can be illegally bought in Boreas, as most Orions are usually equipped with the pistol, even if they are only middle class civilians.
* Firing it one-handed without sufficient aiming would only result on the user spraying rounds randomly on the target's vicinity rather than the target itself
