  Glock - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
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.
Glock's first handgun model was the Glock 17, a 40 x 53 mm high-explosive fully-automatic pistol with a magazine capacity of 24 rounds (which was unusually large at the time.) The handgun came with a scope capable of picking out moving targets against a static background with day or night thermal vision.
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.

  Glock
Glock is an Austrian defense contractor (named after the founder Gaston Glock) mainly known for being the manufacturer of polymer-framed pistols, but it also makes things like field knives and shovels.
Its first pistol model was the classic Glock 17 (so named because it was the 17th patent of the company), a 9mm handgun with an unusually (at the time) large 17 round capacity, introduced in the early 1980s as a response to the Austrian army asking for a new sidearm.
In a perhaps fitting twist of irony, the "point and shoot" ease of use and high capacity of the Glock pistols has caused Glock to become the single most favored brand of handgun for contemporary hip-hop artists to reference in their music, notably Tupac Shakur, 50 Cent, Ludacris, and others.
