    The rifle model comes with a 16.1-inch barrel and a collapsing stock – the longer barrel is hidden inside a fake suppressor and the gun has been styled to look like an MP5SD. The pistol model comes stockless and weighs in at 5.9 pounds. Both guns feed from 10 or 25 round magazines.

    TFBtv’s James Reeves got an early look at two of the first guns in the country, check out his video here for the best look at the new guns!
