When I first read a description of the Laugo Alien, I thought it was a great idea.
Then I come to find out they've decided to push it to the top end of the market with expensive external machining to make it look cool.
And they slapped it with a $5K MSRP for the initial production run that will be strictly limited to 500 units.
Now when I look at the Alien, for some reason, the Bren Ten keeps popping up in my memory.
What do y'all think?

- It employs the gas retarded blowback action that I love so much in my H&K PSP but moves it atop the barrel to keep the heat away from the hand.
- The interchangeable top plates make it easy to go back and forth from irons to red dots.
- The fixed barrel should make for good accuracy.
- The super low barrel axis (see the pic) and gas operation should greatly mitigate recoil.
- The simplicity of the design should make it very affordable.
