The American manufacturer Culper Precision is caught in a scandal over a pistol that looks like a LEGO set.
What
Known
The Glock is called Block19 and it looks likechildren's toy. According to Culper Precision representatives, the company decided to make it this way to highlight the “true pleasure of sport shooting.” After this, a wave of criticism hit the manufacturer. This decision was called irresponsible, because in the United States the number of victims from firearms among minors has recently increased significantly.
Review of the product from a commenter on theFirearm Blog: “This, if real, is the most irresponsible gun modification I have seen in a long time. Perfect fodder for the ‘Everytown for Gun Safety’ people. Not a help.” https://t.co/T36lzybfhW
