This week on Grubstakers we're discussing the billionaire who made a killing in the US gun market, Gaston Glock. Hear all about how this Austrian former Hitler Youth member got a government subsidized start building his glock 17 in Austria then plied police officers all across the United States with booze and prostitutes in order to get them to switch over their standard issue firearm to his brand. There's also tax dodging, a family feud, attempted murder, constant spree killings in the USA, and so much more. Our primary source for this ep was the book "Glock: The Rise of America's Gun" by Paul Barrett
