Don't know what to get your significant other for Christmas? How about a Blackwater rifle? In an e-mail message circulated this week, private security contractor Blackwater USA announced its latest foray into the world of weapons manufacturing:
Blackwater already has a special edition pistol, but that's so 2007.
Although this announcement appears to be new, Blackwater in fact has been displaying this rifle for a number of months, according to its company newsletter. The rifle, says the company, takes "the basic M4 to the next level by offering custom rifles that are built exactly to the customer’s wishes."
The rifles are produced at the company's own armory "making them very exclusive and highly desirable," says the company.
And yes, it comes with the logo.
