    The Cobray Company was an American developer and manufacturer of submachine guns, automatic carbines, handguns, shotguns, and non-lethal 37 mm launchers. These were manufactured by SWD. In the 1970s and 1980s, Cobray was a counter terrorist training center in addition to being an arms maker under the leadership of Mitch WerBell.[1]

    After some legal troubles,[clarification needed] the company changed its name to Leinad (Daniel spelled backwards)[7] and produced at least four new models which were designed to conform with the ban on assault weapons that was then in effect.

    Closure of company

    [edit]

    The owners of Leinad chose to change the company name and sell the company to Sylvia's son, Shane Arrington. The Cobray Trademark is registered to a privately owned company in the US. They continue to manufacture parts and accessories, as well as multiple firearms.
