Fun fact: Glocks were originally called "Combat Tupperware" not because they were made of plastic, but because of the box the original Glocks came in which had a "Tupperware" style lid:

"Glocks were originally called 'Combat Tupperware' ..."

Incorrect. The originally were called "Glocks" but some referred to them facetiously as "Tactical Tupperware." Gotta get the alliteration in there or the joke falls flat.
