That's going to be a pricy kit.

Can't wait to play with one.

Shooting Addict March 30th, 2010 16:33

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

Schlyder March 30th, 2010 16:38

Oh retailers...

Drake March 30th, 2010 16:41

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.

Conker March 30th, 2010 17:13

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

Gato March 30th, 2010 17:24

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

Jimski March 30th, 2010 17:31

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

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.
