As I read this I am thinking of how the grunts on the ground dubbed the “new” M-16 a “Matty Matel” back in the day.
I actually know one idiot who thinks M-16s were actually made by Mattel.
No sense trying to educate that mutt.
“As I read this I am thinking of how the grunts on the ground dubbed the “new” M-16 a “Matty Matel” back in the day.”
It is supposedly a myth, but I have had seen (apparently) very knowledgeable weapons people swear that Mattel was one of several companies that produced some of the plastic parts, and that they have seen the “Mattel” stamp on the butt or handgrip.
I have never seen the stamp, myself.
