Revolutionary in the world of weapons: the creator of the legendary Glock gun died
The company noted that the inventor of the iconic gun not only revolutionized the world of small arms in the 1980s, but also managed to make a GLlock brand with a world leader in the firearm industry. The War IS Boring's military reviewers reminded readers that Glock brought out a polymer niche in Mainestrim and released a series of pistols, which eventually became a gold standard for law enforcement and armed forces around the world.
This is evidenced by the figures - in 2020 the company has reached a historical border, releasing more than 20,000,000 GLOCK pistols. Gaston Glok founded his company in 1963, and in the early 1980s he developed a new model of the gun-Glock 17, which gained worldwide popularity. Just three years later, the gun was taken into service by the Austrian army, and in 1984 the weapon successfully tested NATO.
In addition to the excellent characteristics of the Glock 17 gun became known to be on the frame of the cult movie "Matrix", which added to it even more popularity. Despite the brilliant success and growth of the company's assets, Gaston Glok himself led a rather lonely lifestyle. He rarely appeared in light and spent most of his time in the estate on the lake in Austria.
At the age of 70, the inventor and businessman GCK survived the attempt, and the customer of the murder was his business partner Charles Evert. The performer was a native of France Jacques Peshio-during the attack he struck several times a throat on his head with a rubber hammer, but a 70-year-old man resisted and was able to knock out the attacker. It was later revealed that GCC lost a lot of blood from the wounds caused during the attack, but he managed to survive.
