There are plenty of references to Glock-brand firearms in rap songs. Glock, as we all know, is a company based in Austria that manufactures firearms and knives. There are also occasional references to Colt firearms, or the Military Armament Corporation, which manufactures the beloved MAC-10 pistol.

But what about other firearms manufacturers like Steyr, Benelli, Ceska Zbrojovka, FN Herstal, Kahr, Walther, Norinco, KBP, Ruger, SIG, Star Bonifacio, Tanfoglio, Taurus, Denel, Zastava, or others?

Man, there’s a whole WORLD of gunmakers out there! And many of them make awesome and powerful firearms.

Why don’t rappers refer to the full spectrum of manufacturers in their songs? Why limit themselves to Glock and MAC?

A sheriff deputy once informed me that the reason why rappers always rap about glocks is because the term "glock" is very easy to rhyme with. He also stated that many real gangbangers do not even carry glocks, but .22′s. Is this true?

I was bored, this was just like a fun type of question to ask.

Most small arms in service with the US military are foreign made.

FN (Belgian company)- M249 SAW, M240, M16, Browning m2
Beretta (Italy)- M9
Benelli (Italy)- M1014 shotgun
HK (Germany)- USP, MP5, HK416

My question is, why is Europe making our guns? Shouldn’t we? We could easily make just as good of a product.
BTW, I put browning m2 in FN, because FN owns browning
No actually I dont know why. A glock lacks a safety.
Colt still makes the M4. They sold the m16 design to Fabrique Nacional (FN)

A "Glock" is NOT "a gun;" Glock is a manufacturer OF guns. For instance, a Glock 19 is a gun. "Glock" always refers to the corporation ‘Glock GmbH,’ which is the legal name of Glock firearms.
