Magpul FPG9 **RELEASED**
 

Magpul FPG9 released and on sale at ehobbyasia.com

That's going to be a pricy kit.

Can't wait to play with one.

Is that even allowed to be imported?(I'm guessing no...)

Oh retailers...

Wow, US$260 HK price, and it doesn't even include the gun. Nice to see Magpul wasting time and resources on this instead of something useful. Oh wait, yeah, its Magpul.

What are people going to do, walk around folding and unfolding their gun between engagements? I mean wtf, they took a Glock 18 and made it the size of a Tavor, with no added benefit besides it being eligible to be in the next Transformers movie

^^^ that's not even the Micro Tavor either


I seriously think this may have been an internal gag/running bet over at Magpul that they can sell absolutely anything, no matter how useless, to the fanboys.

Maybe if they shipped it in its box form?

The only real practicability for it is moving around with it packed away somewhere, then again a pistol in a holster is just as easy to move around with.

If its 270 ready to go minus the mag I might considered it, otherwise no.

They should've made WA GBBR P-mag...that would've sold a lot better.

That might work if it was labeled radio or flashlight on the package.

That's what I thought, too.

But I have to say, in all honesty, I enjoyed fondling them. They did in fact bring a smile to my face, as hard as I tried to remember that they were a waste of time. Snapping one of those things open felt good, and transforming it back into a box was neat as well. Also nice from a technical perspective.

Then reality slowly reasserted itself. Ergonomics and function? Meh. Transition from release position to firing position never really felt natural or smooth.

Therefore, I think this wins the title of best chairsofter weapon evar.

I'm more excited about the PMAG 30G and 20G.

I'd rather get 7.62 SR-25 style PMAGs.

I love everything and anything firearm/weapon related ...... except this waste of time, what use is it? If you've already got a glock, then wham bam, you already have a glock, the pistol is easier to carry without this thing to begin with. This thing HAS to be an inside joke at Magpul

mmmh...I'll wait for the cornershot version :D

+1

Anyone else think this thing looks like the laptop gun from perfect dark?

Sort of but not really, Laptop was a bullpup with an M4 style mag.

Fail.


And yes.. +1 for a WA GBBR MOE

For a collector, this is worth it. For gaming / plinking, this is as useless as tits on a nun.

If it's not restricted to import it, I might get one for shits and giggles. Combine it with a KWA cansoft G18C, (since you only need upper and internals) brings the price down some.

If it's restricted and I have to pay 2-2.5X the cost to have it imported, no way.

So... you're saying you think this gun is kinky?


:D

It is restricted for importation, because Magpul actually made some functional prototypes (as opposed to just some non-functional mock ups).

I think the concept for this weapon are pretty much retarded when it comes to airsoft. I'd say the actual gun is more or less made to be concealed until needed and that seems like the airsoft correlation would be something like randomly shooting a friend at the mall which.... yeah dumb scenario idea....

When I saw the real thing first it looks rather small and compact but that one pic above the Tavor makes it look rather huge. I'm still kinda interested in it for the cancept but that is about all. The sad thing is this concept type of gun is significantly hurt by people having seen it. Like if Magpul only ever showed and sold it to a few people like the FBI or something then it would be much easier to conceal since you wouldn't have people knowing what that shaped blocky jigger is.

For roleplaying games it may be really nice for some bodygard or specops/underciver agents.

jeez you guys sure are close-minded.
reasons this is better than a pistol (just for the sake of being devils advocate)
1) longer barrel (higher velocity for gas guns)
2) stock and front grip increase stability and comfort over handguns. (undeniable common sense)
3) holds a 30 rounder while folded (ever tried running around with one of those in your holstered glock?)
4) rail for optics (never seen a glock with sight in a holster that wasnt for IPSC)

i rest my case.

i should also note that you guys are comparing this thing to pistols. why? because it has glock internals? i would compare it more to other SMGs like an MP5 cause thats really what it was designed for in which case it is pretty cool in that it has all the capabilities of that gun with the aded benefit of folding.

It looks huge because it IS huge.

If they'd made a pistol, like a Glock or a SIG, which folds down into something the size of a pack of cigarettes then yeah, awesome. But they just took a full size Glock and added a huge folding case around it. There's absolutely nothing "more concealable" about this POS: get a Glock 27 or 39, SIG P229 or 1911 Ultra Compact and a CCW holster if you want concealable. This clunky Transformers-wannabe requires a backpack to lug around.

The concept wasn't hurt by anything. By Magpul's own admission it was just that, a concept, to show off what they can do. Undercover cops aren't gonna walk around with stuff like this and yell SURPRISE! and bust a mad gun transformation move to surprise criminals.

Walking around with a box that big is probably more conspicuous than even just having a gun in your belt or pocket



MP5K Briefcase. Then at least you can at least look like an ordinary businessman, as long no one looks at the briefcase too closely.

I was thinking of the "ghetto blaster" from Robocop II.

There's block kits that can be bought for real steel pistols to change their profile in your pocket

*edit*

LOL here's some sneaky weapons from one of my favourite sites

Haha awesome website. I read a lot of their contents, it's sooooo funny.

LOL

Is it just me, or when they are shooting in the video, it sounds and looks like a AEG...and not a GBB (too quiet, no recoil, ROF is too slow for a GBB...)

I'm pretty sure he's played knifey spoony before =]


Also I know that guy in the video, he's the one who helped me when I was at their store in HK. Me and him had big discussion about airsoft in canada =D

And yeah once those come into canada I'm guessing an influx of G18 sales.
