The Magpul FMG-9 (Folding Machine Gun) was a prototype folding machine pistol built on a modified Glock 18 with a folding carbine stock, designed by Magpul Industries in 2008. Designed with use for concealed carry in mind, the full firearm can to be folded into an apparently innocuous box.


A purely prototype design, Magpul have stated that they did not have any intention to bring the FMG-9 into production.[1]

As of January 2021, Magpul announced that they would collaborate with Zev Technologies to produce the FDP-9 (Folding Defense Pistol) and FDC-9 (Folding Defensive Carbine). Both are chambered in 9mm Parabellum, as the "9" suggests. Production is expected to commence in 2022. Final design may not be complete at the moment, even though two videos from Magpul show a firearm that resembles the FMG-9.

Design[]

The FMG-9 used a Glock 18 as a base gun, with the pistol grip, trigger and trigger guard modified to fold flat and retain the magazine. The FMG-9 retains the standard Glock controls such as the magazine release and slide release, with the addition of an external charging handle so the outer shell did not have to be removed to chamber a round. The shell was designed to fit the 33-round extended Glock 18 magazine. Unfolding the weapon was a simple matter of pulling the external charging handle: the weapon would then automatically unfold.

As the weapon used a Glock 18 as a base gun, it had a very similar rate of fire, around 1,200 RPM.

It was made out of a lightweight polymer material rather than metal, making it very easy to carry. The top of the outer shell featured a picatinny rail, which can be fitted with a distinctive carry handle with a front mount for accessories: it was displayed fitted with a flashlight, with the idea being to disguise it as a handheld spotlight.[2]
