Army weapons manufacturer...?
 
My brother's friends and I were talking about guns and my brother said I should work for some company that builds weapons for the military. I cant think of the name and neither could he. He said he drove by it while he was in Florida. And he also said it is a two word name. Any ideas anyone? I know some of you are real into guns.

Was it in Jacksonville, if so it might be BAE Systems. It could also be a US Military base.

I could have been. I dont know exactly where he was in Florida. I know it wasnt a base though. I will ask him if its BAE Systems. Thanks.

That's a good one too. I thought they were only making fighter planes, radars and space explorations. The only thing is that the missiles and missile defense operations are in Texas.

Not true. I work for Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control in Orlando. The Orlando facility has just about as many missile programs as our Texas facility. More than half of the programs listed on this page reside in Orlando:

Colt and other make M16's and other tactical weapons. The count is endless.

Northrup Grunman?
I think they're mostly based on commercial radars...

NG does a heck of a lot more than radar.

My wife worked at a local NG facility where they do hand held LDRF's.

Right, but the one closer to my house does radar, plane balancing, and all those shenanigans.

My dad works there :]
