Why do rappers mostly name-check Glock brand firearms, but not others?
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 "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.

Because they gotta sound gangsta like "Desert Eagle". People are dumb, how are they gonna know what they’re talking about. The only ones I’ve heard used on your list is the Walther and Ruger.

when a rapper says glock, most likely he is not referring to the company, glock is also a slang word for gun
i bet 75% of them dont even know glock is a company
what about Smith and Westin, theres a hip hop group named Smif N Wessun AKA Cocoa Bruvas. and they are pretty dope, one of the best old school duos
