Most of us, whether shooters or airsoft players, th term Czech weapons means one thing, CZ (Česká zbrojovka)! The world of shooters is divided between Glock and CZ fans, roughly speaking. However, Czech high-quality weapons are not only made by CZ. The Laugo Arms company is entering the market with its ALIEN 500 pistol.
The history of the company is as follows:
"Laugo Arms Czechoslovakia is modern day, premium firearms manufacturer based on dedicated professionals who had the vision to change the firearms industry. We were not satisfied with production of the same designs over and over again just because it safely makes money. We wanted to think out of box with no boundaries, use the best todays approaches, technologies and materials and bring the future to shooters. This was not possible in big corporates, that is why we enterprised Laugo Arms Czechoslovakia. To make the best firearms in the world.
Our story starts in 2001 when in Trenčín (Roman: Laugaricio) group of passionate designers around Ján Lučanský, the chief designer, and Frank Gašparík founded independent design bureau. After the success with M8A SMG Laugo was closely cooperating with CZ factory to adopt M8A into mass production as CZ Scorpion EVO 3. However corporate world of mass production obsolete designs was very limiting and satisfying at all. Therefore in 2013, Laugo ceased its cooperation with CZ." (www.laugoarms.com)
As the mexarmory.pl store, one of the new players in the firearms market in Poland, you can place orders for the ALIEN 500 pistol. We will not write about all the technical details here as these you will find on the store's page. But it is worth mentioning that these guns have the lowest axis of the barrel among pistols available on the market, a fixed barrel, a slide that moves only on the sides, a low center of gravity, a delayed recoil piston system and a fixed (does not move when shooting) yet replaceable upper part of the slide.
