There’s a new semi-automatic handgun on the horizon for the Army that U.S. consumers may have access to almost immediately. When that happens, America’s emergency rooms better be prepared for the carnage that’s likely to follow.

Today, during a so-called “industry day,” the U.S. Army is briefing arms manufacturers on its requirements for a new handgun, The Atlantic reported yesterday. “Several gun makers will compete for the lucrative contract.”

Okay, maybe I’m wrong, but my impression is that the military market has led developments in the commercial market in firearms, sort of like racing and street cars and motorcycles. How’s this new pistol uniquely worse than all the other civilianized pistols and rifles?
