Ralph needed a strategy to romanticize those "cheap late war pistols with plastic grips and unmatched, plastic magazine bottoms". Although hard to believe now, those guns were once looked upon as "less desirable".
By creating an intriguing comic book name for them, (and perhaps spinning some tall tales about their alleged purpose/use), interest and a market were created for these late production guns.
