I don't really care them but must admit they changed the world and how folks look at handguns. Those guns were trendsetters. Also the AR15/M16.  |

Hipoint 9mm
Made from garbage, for pennies, budget engineering. Not a gun specifically, but what psa has done to the ar. Bringing prices down to the point nobody has an excuse not to be armed with a solid basic rifle. That's thinking that should be business school material. |

(Semi) bullpup in the '40s. Effective muzzle compensator that resembles some high-end devices today. "Flip-up" sights.(Though, it was intended for stowage purposes) Low, fixed-power optic.(Think ACOG) |
