I just realized how S&W came up with the "Shield" name for their new M&P

My point is this:

Guys sitting around a conference table:

Idea Thinker 1: Yeah, they said they needed 4 M&P 9mm full size pistols for the filming of Avengers.

Idea Thinker 2: What!? They're the Avengers; they don't use pistols.

Idea Thinker 1: No, Nick Fury is going to carry the M&P. You know, Samual L Jackson! How damn cool is that?

Idea Thinker 2: Oh okay. Well yeah, that is pretty cool! Isn't he like the main guy of the Shield.

Idea Thinker 3: Wait...shield....SHIELD! THAT'S IT!

Idea Thinker 1: What are you talking about?

Idea Thinker 3: Remember how we couldn't think of a 'cool' name for that new M&P 'ultra-slim?'

Idea Thinker 2: Holy Sh*t...THAT'S F'N BRILLIANT! The M&P SHIELD!

Idea Thinker 1: Son of a B*tch, why didn't I think of that...

Think about it.

Kicker is that "Idea Thinker #3" is probably the intern.

Kimber has a pistol named Aegis, after Zeus' shield.

Although thats a fantistic little story I'm pretty sure they just said (again)....
Lets try and get as close to this Glock design (again) as possible without infringing upon their patents and copyrights.
