[Willieboy]

Holy Moly, Glock has just been sold to Beretta. Eight-one year old Gaston Glock is retiring one of the richest men in Europe. As far as I know, this is not an April Fool's trick.

Gaston Glock Announces Sale of his Company to Fabbrica D'Armi Pietro Beretta Today
After running Glock for nearly 48 years, and 29 years after his invention of the ground breaking Glock handgun, Gaston Glock announced today in Deutsch Wagram, Austria that he has sold Glock Ges.m.b.H. to Fabbrica D'Armi Pietro Beretta for a sum of 2.41... Billion Euros, and is retiring from business at the age of 81. Under the agreement that was signed this week, Glock will become another brand name under the ever expanding Beretta umbrella of firearms.

A spokesman for Beretta, Stefano Quarena, said at the press conference that no immediate changes are foreseen for Glock, and that Glock operations in both Austria and the USA will remain unchanged. Quarena did say that Beretta management will leverage technologies developed at Glock and other divisions of Beretta, to make new improvements and developments of future firearms.

Gaston Glock has now become one of the richest men in all of Europe.

I have read extensively about the Berock model.It will have 14 safeties,no firing pin or striker,will require a waitng period of 36 years and will only be sold to people 98 years old and older.Ammo will be $750 per round and will contain no powder or primer.The bullet itself will be formed out of gnerr.
[Gnerr is navel lint and is pronounced ner.The "g"is silent.Bawanna makes pillows out of the stuff.] The actual price for the handgun will be in the trillions.Plus your soul.
