Draft:Laugo Alien

The Laugo Alien is a delayed blowback semi-automatic pistol designed by Ján Lučanský and produced by Laugo Arms Czechoslovakia s.r.o. since 2019.

Design
The Alien is most notable for its low bore axis. The purpose of this is to reduce muzzle flip of the firearm by moving the backward force of shooting in line with the shooters hand. Another unique feature is the Alien's top rail, which remains stationary while firing. The front and rear sights or a red dot optic are mounted here which allows for quicker follow up shots. The Alien accomplishes its unique design goals by using a Gas delayed blowback system. This allows for the use of a fixed barrel, which allows for better mechanical accuracy compared to the common tilting barrel short recoil system. Unlike other Gas delayed pistols, the Alien's gas expansion chamber is located above the barrel rather than below. This reduces the likelihood of a user burning their hand by touching the surrounding area.

Creator 500
In 2023, the Creator 500 Series was released. It is a limited edition version of the Alien with only 500 being made. It has a few minor differences from the standard Alien such as a decreased grip angle similar to that of a 1911 and deeper cuts on the top rail
