... and it's a semi-automatic. Who says that? The Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) says that - and authorities don't lie. GLOCK has registered its first rifle - which had only been leaked as an applicant in a British tender, hence the image above - as a civilian semi-automatic at the BMI in Austria, which we can probably understand as an announcement that the GR-115 will soon hit the domestic market. The name of the weapon with an AR15 system - we know the system because there are patents and there is an AR15 to be seen in the British tender with GLOCK markings and the designation GR-115F - is civilian without the F and is called: GR-115. We would deconstruct this as " GLOCK Rifle Model 1 Type AR15", but this is our interpretation of the name.
Here is the excerpt from the classifications according to § 44 WaffG at the Austrian Ministry of the Interior as the weapons authority. The manufacturers have built semi-automatic rifles and had them classified. The authority has determined that they are Category B weapons. So the manufacturers are on the safe side - here alongside GLOCK, also STEYR ARMS with two civilian weapons: STM556 (available) and DMR 308 (new). Actually, the classifications for semi-automatic rifles have not been necessary since the last amendment, but GLOCK still does it, which clearly shows us that the AR15 rifle as a civilian semi-automatic GR-115 is on its way. And that also means that GLOCK, with its AR15 interpretation, wants to target both the authorities market as a assault rifle and the civilian market as a semi-automatic. We are very excited ... HERE is the complete list from the Austrian Ministry of the Interior available online.
AR15 parts from GLOCK: these are the patents that we were able to introduce in May 2021.
However, what the world is really waiting for is the proper GLOCK assault rifle. Read that right: the GLOCK assault rifle is not the GLOCK AR15 G-115F. But a proprietary development with other patents that is still in progress and confidential. This GLOCK assault rifle is expected to arrive no earlier than the end of 2023. And it probably looks something like this sketch. HERE is the SPARTANAT report on the GLOCK Carbine.
