not funny

Magpul Industries Corporation is a designer and manufacturer of polymer firearms accessories and concept firearms. The company is based in Erie, Colorado in the United States (though they mark all products with "Made in Boulder, CO&quot . Magpul Industries takes its name from its first product, an accessory for US and NATO armed forces STANAG magazines that aided users in pulling the magazine out of its pouch, hence "Magpul".

Magpul primarily designs, manufactures, and distributes accessories for the AR-15 and M16 rifles, and it has also expanded into the area of complete firearms design.

Magpul's well known use of plastic materials and user-configurable modules that build upon pre-existing weapon designs has led to the name being used to describe any similar modernized firearms in some parts of the firearms trade press. Any existing weapon traditionally built from steel and wood might be said to be 'magpulized' when it is redesigned along those lines.
