Named after the grasshopper mouse—a small yet fierce carnivorous rodent native to the southwestern United States known for preying on scorpions and being immune to their venom—the GHM is as formidable and versatile as its namesake. The GHM is a cost-effective, competition-oriented pistol caliber carbine (PCC) that incorporates many of the outstanding qualities that made the APC9 so successful, while offering additional flexibility and modularity to the user.
