Magpul Folding Carbine FMG 9

    Check out the latest Magpul creation. It is a folding carbine. Similar to the Ares FMG and PP-90. It appears to use some glock parts uses the Glock action, magazines and laser systems.

    And although very different the Kel-Tec SUB-2000 (this folds for storage, not rapid deployment).

    I will update this page as more information becomes available.

    UDPATE:

    According to this thread, it is called the FMG9 and Magpul do not have plans to put it into production, at this point it is just a prototype… although I am sure James Bond will get his hands on one for his next movie!

    UPDATE

    Another video demo

    UPDATE: From ar15.com:

    The advantage to the FMG9 over previous versions are…

    1. One button, spring loaded action.
    2. Light weight, color coded plastic (can be molded as a non gun color)
    3. Closed bolt, safe action (others were open bolt SMGs, ours can be carried with a round in the chamber).
    4. Proven Glock action with stock Glock factory magazines and laser systems.

    Hat Tip for the update: Cryptic
