You should probably just give up on any firearm effectively that isn’t from a neutral country or one that hasn’t been to war.

I’m pretty sure Magnum research came up with the idea but worked Isreali weapon industries to actually make it work. IWI did the heavy lifting in design and manufacturing early on.
