It’s hard to believe it’s been thirty-two years since the isolated workplace incident happened at Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles. For many of us, it feels like it was just last year since the event happened. This year one of the industry’s top 27 companies is bringing out a special edition of their SP5 in honor of the Nakatomi incident where some guys did some things.



For those unfamiliar with the incident in 1988, a group of radicalized East Germans attacked the large Japanese investment company Nakatomi Trading. Numerous men died including Joseph Takagi originally of Kyoto, Japan as well as his murderer Hans Gruber of the Volksfrei movement. Luckily most of the employees were saved by an off duty NYPD officer John McClane aka “Roy.”



Over the past three decades, the Nakatomi towers have gone through many changes as most of the floors were devastated by the violence. The city has also seen numerous riots, oddly enough no riots when Sgt Al Powell gunned down an unarmed kid and was allowed to stay on the force.



The special edition will come with one magazine, a membership to the NRA and a piece of broken glass from Nakatomi towers MSRP is $4,300 but expect to see it in stores for slightly less. This item will not be available in California.
