American 180 {.22LR}
American Arms and several successors produced the American 180 through most of the 1970s and 1980s. The 180 was originally designed for police officers and prison guards, who needed controllable, fully automatic weapons. Feeding from a 275-round drum mounted flat against the top of the weapon, the 180 fires a blistering 1,500 rounds per minute. While the impact of a single .22 LR bullet is unlikely to kill anyone, 30 bullets striking within a hand span in just over a second are nothing to laugh off, and well-aimed automatic fire from an American 180 will chew straight through most soft body armor. When fired as a medium burst, the American 180 expends 20 shots; a long burst expends a minimum of 40 shots. Any burst that fires 20 or more bullets at a single target gains Armor Piercing 1.
