History[]
Valkyrie Industries was created by Ralph Kruse, a former Ranger of the 1st Ranger Battalion.
The current logo.
During Operation Desert Storm, Kruse and his team were tasked to assist the 1st Infantry Division (Mechanized) during the assult on kuwait. Kruse came under fire on a main road. Engaging the enemy with his M16A4, the gun jammed due to a spent casing failing to extract. While trying to fix the problem, an Iraqi Marksman fired at him, hitting him in the lower left chest.
After recovering from his wound, he was reassinged to a non-combat post. Complaints to the various AR-15 manufactures regarding reliablity were ingored. Shortly after, Kruse left the army when informed that Desert Storm was over and, using his army payments and bank loans, he wanted to build his own weapon series, starting with a rifle which would be more dependable in any condition compared to the AR-15 series.
The company Valkyrie Industries, was named after an ancient female figure which would decide who would live and who would die in battle.
His first weapon, named the EBAR, was a worldwide success due to its low recoil and reliable firing system. The U-CAR which followed 2 years later, saw extreme success in the military sector. The HAMMER is both popular wih the military and civilian market. The MAS Shotgun has a growing civilian interest, but it is currently only available for purchase for military and law enforcement.
