Inspired by @Blaze@feddit.org's post over here:

https://feddit.org/post/5821462

I was about to post about a BIFL item that I'm happy with, and then realized it was made in Germany. Then I realized that I don't know where most of the stuff in my house is manufactured.

What guns do you have from Austria? I haven't heard of them being a major arms manufacturer

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah not many people have heard of them it's this little company called Glock /s

[-] m_f@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

Huh. Never knew where glocks were made. That makes sense now though

They also make horse insemination devices

Does your knowledge of this have anything to do with your username?

Steyr Arms is also out of Austria and they make precision hunting rifles which are popular among competitive marksmen.
