A gun covered in Legos to look like a toy sets off a furor
What were they thinking? This is just another ploy to stir the pot to induce gun control.

About a week ago, a company in Utah that makes custom modifications to firearms debuted what it described as a fun new product: a kit that encases Glock handguns in red, yellow and blue Lego blocks, refashioning lethal weapons to look exactly like children’s toys.

Yep and The plastic makes them cheaper to make and are anti-corrosive. .The Seal Teams use Glocks now right?

In particular, polymer-framed pistols provided a lighter sidearm platform when compared to heavier, all-metallic pistol designs. In addition, polymer-framed pistols could offer superior corrosion resistance. And although this particular aspect is an obvious advantage to all service members regardless of what environment they operate in, it is a particular advantage to U.S. Navy SEALs, given their close affinity for aquatic operations in corrosive saltwater.

If you become a SEAL, Jim, I will buy it for you.

I say BS. Any idiot has to realize that the metal (O yes, Glocks do have steel in them) is going to rust up. What a maroon.

Takes one to know one! You Need to do your homework before throwing around hateful first pronoun words,wiseguy.

The final process meets or exceeds stainless steel specifications, is 85% more corrosion resistant than a hard chrome finish, and is 99.9% salt-water corrosion resistant. With that level of protection the Glocks should be more than capable of handling the rigors of the SEAL Teams.

Serf: Clam down. I have built tools for the teams. Everything they wanted had to non-magnetic SS or Ti.
Just because a Glock has some tupperware included as part of the gun Does not make it less prone to corrosion. That is pure BS.
Some time just for fun look at the Noble Scale for cheap thrills and entertainment.
