A new assault rifle being manufactured in central Florida has drawn fire after the gunmaker branded it the “Crusader” and said it was designed “to never be used by Muslim terrorists.”
Spike’s Tactical in Apopka etched its new $1,395 AR-15 with a Bible verse that says “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle,” MyFoxOrlando reported.
Company spokesman Ben Thomas, a former Navy SEAL, said the scripture is something of an insurance policy to keep it out of the hands of terrorists. The idea came to him during the weapon's development. At the time, the U.S. government was preparing to arm rebel groups in Syria.
“When you make a rifle, you have to understand that it could be used for ill deeds if it got in the wrong hands,” Thomas told the station.
The gun went on sale this week and was quickly denounced by the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Florida, according to MyFoxOrlando.
“Sadly, this manufacturer’s fancy new gun won’t do anything to stop the real threat in America: the escalating problem of gun violence,” the council told the station. “This is just another shameful marketing ploy intended to profit from the promotion of hatred, division, and violence.”
Thomas defended the Crusader, saying he would like to take a weapon with scripture etched on the side into battle and that the gun is not meant to be racist.
“We didn’t say ‘No Muslims,’” he said.
The scripture is etched on one side of the magazine. Etched on the other is a symbol of a cross that dates from the Crusades of the Middle Ages.
Thomas told the Orlando Sentinel the company's owners did not intend to insult or antagonize Muslims.
He told the paper the owners believe America and much of the world is threatened by Islamic terrorism and the weapon is a symbol of shared Christian values and the right to defend themselves.
Thomas also told the paper the safety selector that controls the Crusader's trigger has three settings: Peace, War and God Wills It.

I think I need one to add to the vault.

One can never have too much bacon... I like to order extra bacon on my bacon. Then again, I was a pig for the last 20 years.

What exactly do your pray for with your fingers?

No. It's etched on one side of the magazine well.

Genuinely a Kodac moment; here, let me help represent your creed:

That the 230 grain projectile travels true and straight down the barrel that is connected to the trigger (and my finger) below it... for any unnecessary trigger travel or anything but a slow rearward squeeze of the trigger BY MY FINGER, causes the business end of my Glock to move off of the intended target.
Someday you should seek out a firearms instructor and learn to shoot.

Naaw ... all I need is an observer to aid in the cluster of my shotgroups. And my team helps considerably.

That's nothing a little duct-tape wouldn't fix. Matter of fact, muslims would probably enjoy killing yankees with a gun covered in their own religious drivel.

Well, Spoke's Tactical probably knows guns but they don't know jackshit about Islam.
They are inscribing a psalm on their rifle, supposedly to ward off the Muslims.
Problem is, Islam considers the Psalms as an inspired holy book (which they call Zabur).
| Sura An-Nisa 4:163 of the Qur'an states "and to David We gave the Psalms". Therefore, Islam confirms the Psalms as being inspired of God. The Qur'an mentions the word Zabur three times. |
So any jihadi could pick up his Spike's engraved psalm assault rifle and shoot as many Christians and other infidels as he wants without any theological misgivings.
Spike is probably a nice guy but he's kind of a dumbass. This isn't stuff that is hard to find out. It took me five seconds or so.

That would be much more likely to deter a Muslim from using it for jihad than etching a verse from Psalms (which Islam considers inspired by God, per my above post).

You could build a better one for about $800 and send the lower out to be inscribed. It just has a run of the mill (cheap) 4150 barrel that has been chrome lined and has a 1 in 7 twist.. A better barrel would be a 416 Stainless, fluted and QPQ nitrided 1 in 8 twist heavy barrel that would out last 3 of the cheapy 4150 barrels, be more accurate and only cost $20-30 more...
“Let me see which pig "DON'T" I want to vote for, the one with or without lipstick??" Hmmmmm...

Killing a dog of some peon, I suppose.
#14. To: A Pole (#13)
Only if the dog is a liberal... If the peon owner is a liberal, then I'll wait until we collapse to hunt them. I have supplies for 50,000 of them.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

A better inscription would be "The Prophet Mohammed blew boar hogs".
If you are going to do something,do it right or leave it alone.
