Glock: Gaston Glock
built 674 days ago
Glock, or GLOCK, handguns are guns that are mostly made of plastic. Originally produced by Gaston Glock, the Austrian firearms have been adopted by police, military, and redneck forces throughout the world due to the sheer, indisputable perfection of its design. Of course, any terrorist will tell you that trying to kill a CT with a glock is like trying to stab a rampaging bull elephant with a toothpick. But, for some reason, they still keep using them. It's probably because of the perfect design. And that underslung lightsaber lug.

Glock firearms were originally introduced in the late 80's after Gaston Glock was pressured into making a plastic gun for the highly popular tupperware parties. Now housewives could shoot intruders with a handgun that was microwavable and dishwasher-safe. Gaston himself was an uneducated Austrian merchant, and an intense interest in firearms led him to understand that most gun designers weren't very educated, either. After meeting several firearms dealers to promote his new tenifer coating product, Glock found that almost all handguns are designed by backwoods farm boys. As a result, in 90% of all modern firearms the bolt was cycled with the help of a rubber band. The remaining 10% used distended Slinkys.

Its first pistol was the Glock 17, a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol with a magazine capacity of 17 rounds (unusually large at the time), which started development in 1980. Glock designed the pistol in response to a request for a new sidearm by the Austrian army, which adopted it in 1982[1]. The 17 was so-named because it was Gaston Glock's seventeenth patent.

GLOCK was founded by Mr. Gaston Glock, an engineer, in 1963 in Austria. In the early 1980s, the Austrian military decided to acquire a new duty pistol. This was a challenge for Glock, since pistols were not part of its product line at that time.

Some have been so impressed with the Glock's reliability that they have referred to it as the "German AK." Despite the fact that this statement is just plain wrong for at least three different reasons, Gaston Glock only points out the fact that no AK offers an underbarrel lightsaber lug.
