- Excerpts from netnews.rec.guns: 31-Dec-92 Glock numbering. by David C
- Winters@pitt.edu
- # The first Glock to hit the market was the 17 - were numbers 1
- # through 16 prototype models?
-
- Well I'm sure that many of us recall the the Glock 7, all ceramic
- construction, impossible to detect. But as David points out, many of
- the other Glocks are lesser known.
-
- The Glock 1 was made from very thick porridge, undetectable and quite
- nutritious in a pinch. It didn't have good foul weather resistance
- however
-
- The Glock 2 was made from ice, but suffered from brittle failure. The
- Glock 3 incorporated sawdust into the ice to prevent this, but this line
- was abandoned for obvious reasons
-
- The Glock 4 was an all steel construction with a plastic chamber and barrel
-
- The Glocks 5 and 6 were made from straw and wood respectively, but had
- trouble with being blown down by big bad wolves, thus resulting in the
- development of the stone Glock 7 mentioned earlier
-
- I'm sure someone else can elaborate on the Glocks 8 through 16.
-
- :-) it's joke boy, ya know a funny, a anectodotal story with a humorous
- intent... :-)
