Gaston Glock, the creator of the famous Glock handgun, passed away at 94.
Gaston developed the Glock 17, a lightweight semi-automatic gun made of plastic, which gained global popularity among police and military forces.
The weapon has been featured in various media and played a role in many historical events, such as the killing of Saddam Hussein.
Despite criticism from gun-control advocates, Glock remained reclusive and refused to sign a voluntary gun control deal with the United States.
He also survived an attempt on his life and faced a legal battle over alimony following his divorce.
He is survived by his wife, a daughter, and two sons.
