I'm not sure if I see the market in an Airsoft gun that folds up into a flashlight.
I think the real version is brilliant for home defense, but airsoft? -------------------- [Engineering and Demolitions][Stealthy - 45 Mins][Bloody BB - Ear][One Shot, One Kill][Eagle Eyes]

OFT i guess making the FPG isn't too hard since it's just a glock in a box... but knowing PTS and their workspeed, it'll be here sometime in 2011 -------------------- This user has been banned.

It is wierd though, they either have something that is released with little warning if any or it takes forever.

The FMG9 is part one of a larger press release packet. There will be more info coming soon along with (hopefully) an update regarding the ACR/Masada.

Maybe a good back up? Could one of these fit in medical pouch? It would be a little easier than just a pistol to use as a back up, yet still fit in a small space. Yah probably not so practical, but still pretty cool. I don't think I will be picking one of these up, at least not until I finish some other projects, which hopefully includes a Masada very soon. -------------------- QUOTE (Maximus Decimus Meridius) I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all.

wewt. i can see this maybe fitting into a dump pouch? plus then it's right there when you need it.
better yet, perfect for a VIP, because it's small enough to carry in a MAP or other backpack. some may argue, "why not a glock?" or other pistol, or other machine pistol. but come on, it's magpul, and way cooler than just a pistol. -------------------- Why so serious?

Let's not forget that the biggest benefit of the FMG9 (aside from subtlety), is the fact that you end up with a Glock 18 that's very controllable on full auto as it unfolds to give you a shoulder stock and also gives you the benefits of an extremely small package with a high ROF. That's pretty cool. I'm definitely picking one of these up for CQB.
Don't know if any of you saw the SMG episode of Ultimate Weapons on The Military Channel, but the FMG9 ranked pretty high up there on the "ultimate SMG weapon" list. Personally I had no idea Magpul had a fully working FMG9, so it was pretty cool to see it dump lead down range. -------------------- Photos: My Photo Album

Well apparently they wouldn't be hard to make, even for someone with just machining tools if they made it in metal. The problem that arises in RS is that you are turning a pistol into a SBR.

But a pistol to an SBR would be wrong because it wouldn't be firing a rifle round, so more like a pistol to an SMG would be more apropriate. Even though considering the Glock18 is a machine gun pistol. But again I do see where your going with that. -------------------- "Hello, My Name is Insert Here "

what they doing with the actual pistol itself i assume we will just be able to slide our own top slided glock into the frame? and the lower frame will already be in place.

If they found some way to make a version of this for GBB and one for AEP formats I would die happy. If the AEP version let you somehow use a larger capacity battery or and 8.4v that would cause me to die. In any event I admire and support anything MAGPUL endorses for airsoft.

Was it quiet yet deadly combining the power of an assault rifle with the small form of a smg? |

Even though considering the Glock18 is a machine gun pistol. But again I do see where your going with that. You obviously don't know much about U.S. Gun laws. SBR is a legal term for a "rifle" (basically anything with a stock) that has a barrel length of less than 16" that is SEMI AUTOMATIC. The law does not differentiate between rifle caliber or pistol caliber. Machineguns, SBRs, Silencers, AOWs and DDs are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) To create or own an SBR in the U.S. requires special paperwork and is heavily regulated, it isn't something that a typical gun owner would be willing to go through. Possession of an SBR without the proper paperwork is a violation of the NFA and is a felony. This includes constructive possession, meaning that merely owning the Magpul FMG folding mechanism and a regular Glock 17, even if not assemble together is a violation of the NFA. So as you can see, sale of such "kit" for the real steel market in the U.S. for use with semi automatic pistols would be severely regulated by the government, which would basically guarantee low sales. |

Strange that they're making a replica of the FMG9. Didn't they say that the real one is just a proof of concept and aren't really going to sell them?

But if you buy a civilian KRISS without the huge barrel and barrel shroud it is a classified as a SBR. I agree with you it should be a considered a SMG if anything, but to the gov't anything that has a stock, short barrel, and magazine is an SBR. -------------------- QUOTE (Maximus Decimus Meridius) I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all.

I think the whole SBR thing is BS anyways. Why shouldn't we be able to have them? But hey that's liberal pansyism for you.
As for the gun, I love the concept of the thing and would love a real one, but don't see a huge point in airsoft other than as a novelty. -------------------- You don't get something for nothing
