Cobray Company


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.

After some legal troubles, the company changed its name to Leinad and produced at least four new models which were designed to conform with the ban on assault weapons that was then in effect.

The owners of Leinad chose to change the company name and sell the company to Sylvia's son, Shane Arrington, because of the changes in the gun laws and the divorce of company founders Wayne and Sylvia Daniels. 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.
