Glock 19 with an extended clip

To clarify and expand: The Glock 19 is a very common and popular semi-automatic handgun. The "model 19" is one of dozens of models of Glock pistols. The model 19 (or "G19" or "G-19") 9mm ammo and is medium-sized. It is intended to be a self-defense gun for police officers, armed citizens, bodyguards, detectives, etc. It is small enough to carry concealed but it holds a lot of ammo: Normally about 13 or 14 rounds (don't quote me on that).

The Glock 19 is not an "assault weapon" by any reasonable definition of that phrase. It is not the kind of gun that the U.S. federal Assault Weapon Ban (AWB) applied to back when that law was in effect 1994-2004. It's just a regular semi-automatic pistol that uses detachable magazines of various sizes that attach to the gun through the grip, which is hollow.

The "EXTENDED CLIP" used in this shooting was a 33-round magazine which is not the normal-sized magazine for this gun, or any other Glock semi-auto pistol.

Both Glock and some other non-affiliated companies produce magazines of this extra-large size for Glock pistols. Glock invented these magazines for use in their fully-automatic machine pistol, the Glock 18 (which is not available to regular individuals, just police, military, and dealers who are licensed to make and sell modern machineguns).

Regular Americans sometimes buy higher-than-normal capacity magazines for their pistols just because it makes shooting them more enjoyable. You can fire more rounds (the fun part) before you have to stop to reload the magazine (not fun). And if an armed citizen wants to be able to effectively defend themselves against multiple attackers, such as several members of a gang who might travel in a pack, a 33-round magazine is useful in this situation. Extra high capacity magazines are not just for crazy homicidal maniacs.

Under the federal Assault Weapon Ban (1994-2004), newly-manufactured magazines over 10 rounds could not be sold to civilians, only police agencies and the military. So during those years, all Glock pistols that normally came with 17, 15, or 12 round magazines were shipped to gun stores with new substitute 10-round mags.

Where is the blue tulip in poptropica?

For this you have to have the pea shooter and the spud gun. Use the pea shooter in Rock Ridge to get the key from the canary (top right corner) . Use the key to undo the lock on the mine tunnel next to the canary. Run to the mine cart and get in. Use the spud gun to shoot the red targets to flip parts of the track up or down so that you don't fall or hit a rock. Eventually, you will come to the blue tulip.
