Austrian economic ministry officials told state radio that their ministry had approved the sale of the "Glock" pistols last month, saying Iranian authorities had provided documentary evidence that they would not be passed on to others.They had the same documentary evidence for those Steyr-Mannlicher sniper rifles that are turning up all over Iraq. That's certainly worked well, hasn't it?

Just like old times. Iran and the German-speaking world are best buds.

Good afternoon.
So is this a ploy to get Iranians to shoot themselves in the leg?

WTF!? Earlier today I read the same story, but it reported 30,000 Glock pistols are being delivered to the IRAQI POLICE!

Something is very fishy! All German-speaking sources, including the original Austrian report the 30,000 handguns are destined for the IRAQI Police. The English-speaking sources say IRAN.

I didn't need another reason not to buy a "low-bid" piece of crap Glock, but OK, I guess I've got one more reason.
To: John Jorsett
Just another reason not to buy a glock. After having gunsmithed some of them I did not really need another reason.

If it's Iran then it may have to deal with lucrative oil contract.
Austria's OMV, which is currently
negotiating the terms of a development contract for its Mehr field in Iran.

The Austrian government approved the sale of the rifles, made by precision weapons maker Steyr Mannlicher GmbH, after it concluded in 2004 that they would be used to fight narcotics smugglers. Is the Iranian theory "Religion, except Islam, is the opiate of the masses?"
