This folding machine gun hides in plain sight

The Magpul FMG9 (Folding Machine Gun 9mm) gives a whole new meaning to "concealed weapon." Unlike a handgun tucked away in a pair of pants or coat, this gun hides in plain sight.

"This weapon system could be described as a chameleon, it totally disappears," said the host in the American Heroes Channel video below. "It's sort of innocuous and then when you snap it out, you have little mini submachine gun."

You may have seen a similar weapon used by Hob, the drug dealing teenager in RoboCop 2 (1990), played by Gabriel Damon. The weapon in the film is an ARES FMG designed by Francis J. Warin for ARES Inc. Warin made the weapon with personal security in mind after a spree of kidnappings and murders of VIPs and CEOs in South America during the early 1980s.

The FMG9 is the latest weapons system in the folding machine gun class and a nod to the 80s design by ARES Inc. It's the perfect covert firearm when applied for its intended use, unlike the little violent Hob in RoboCop 2. Simply show up to your operation like an innocent bystander and snap it out when things get hot.

After clearing the room fold it back into place and walk out like nothing ever happened.
