USA Competition Buy a truckload of guns and get the truck for free.

A FIREARMS manufacturer in the US has announced a sales promotion sure to draw fire: buy a truckload of guns and get the truck for free.

ArmaLite president Mark Westrom is also running a competition to get people to guess how many guns fit in the US military truck, MyFox National reported.

Mr Westrom, from Illinois, has been collecting army trucks for 12 years but he said it was time to part ways with the vehicles — sparking the idea of a "truckload" sale.

"It's not funny," said Mr Westrom of the gun deal.

"It's serious business. It's serious socially and, even though there's a tinge of humour in a truckload sale of rifles, they're very strictly regulated."

Due to government regulations and State Department rules, selling enough guns to fill one of Mark's old trucks will only be possible for companies that distribute or re-sell them.



However the trucks themselves can be had by any buyer for the right price, Fox 4KC reported.

ArmaLite makes and sells semi-automatic rifles in a variety of calibres that are used by military and police organisations, security firms and sportsmen around the world.
