The Flashlight Machine Gun, Could be a Game Changer (Video)
Funny, Weird, & Educational Pictures or Videos ^ | 6/27/11 | Chuck Ness

Posted on 06/27/2011 9:29:56 AM PDT by OneVike




In this video, a gentleman from Magpul Industries introduces their concept weapon the FMG-9. As I watched the video, I was struck by the thought that we have the police, in high crime areas, having trouble distinguishing the difference between MP3 players and guns. Not to mention the growing debate about TSA workers frisking granny and her 2 year old grandson because they may be carrying a bombs. Now we have something new thrown into the mix. The item I write about is a machine gun that's so unique it can be disguised as a flashlight and slipped into your back pocket.

The Folding Machine Gun 9 (FMG-9) Is normally concealed as a harmless flashlight, but at the touch of a button you can flip it out to a fully functional sub-machine gun. If you decide the coast is clear, and you can just then just flip it back into a flashlight mode, and slip the innocent looking gadget into your back pocket.

Personally I'm still trying figure out when this type of weapon would come in handy. Maybe you could use it in a Homeowner's Association argument about brown spots in the lawn, or the placement of your cans on garbage day. Then again there are always those pesky neighbors who are complaining about your car bringing down the property values because it isn't new enough.

The moment it would really come in handy though, is when you get home late from work and you need to check the lawn for doggy piles. You grab your flashlight from your back pocket and make a quick scan of the lawn before heading into the house for that meal your wife is keeping in the oven. After spotting a pile or two, you head on over to your neighbors house and confront him about the landmines that Fifi has left on your lawn. After you realize the he's not taking you seriously, just push the button and flip your flashlight into its sub-machine mode.  Then stand back to see if the attitude adjustment helps him see things your way. Who knows, maybe after you finish your time, you will learn that your neighbor finally got the message and his dog stopped defecating on your lawn, or he just moved.

Truth is, the best use of this type of weapon would be for those of you who live Obama's old neighborhood. Now that you don't have your community agitator keeping the local scum busy by protesting the local businesses, you could always use the FMG to keep the thugs at a distance as you walk home from the local market. Not that it would make much of a difference during a random drive- by. After all, by the time you pulled it from you back pocket and unfolded it, you would probably have a few rounds in you. Even if you even had a chance to return fire the car would have sped around the corner out of site. Don't worry though, because by January 2013 you'll have your community organizer back, and he'll have those pesky thugs busy harassing the evil business owners again instead of you.

All joking aside, anyone who thinks this is just another reason to scrap the 2nd amendment, this gun is not being produced. Even if it were, Magpul doesn't sell it's restricted products to the general public, and the FMG-9 would be an example of a restricted product. This sort of gun is designed and marketed to private security contractors, military, and other governmental institutions whose operators require firepower in a concealable package, think Uzi in a briefcase and you have the right idea.

As for the possibility that mercenaries, drug dealers, or assassins would happen to use any weapons produced by Magpul, or any other weapon manufacturer is completely irrelevant to the equation. So you anti American, and anti 2nd Amendment types can calm down. Besides, even if this weapon was put into production and somehow ended up in the wrong hands, we now know it would probably have been done by the ATF (Project Gunwalker) under Obama watch as CBS reported back in February.

(Except for the video, this article has been posted in full. So unless
you would like to watch the video of the flashlight machine gun, there is no need to visit my site. However if you wish to give my site a hit, it would be much appreciated.)

Wow...here’s a commercial on the entire “Gung Ho Commando” set. I remember the complete set—I wanted one badly as a kid, but didn’t get one. I’d forgotten it was a .50, not a .30.

Note how the portray the fat kid “chowing down” on the chow...LOL!

The girls in our neighborhood joined in with the boys sometimes carrying a gun and sometimes being nurses. Some of ‘em were good shots and really sneaky scouts, got ambushed more than ounce by them.

Some schools will expel kids for finger guns (pointing index finger and going bang or thumb going down).

we used to play a game called Bunker Man.

there was an old barn set on a hillside covered by yearly mowed trees and heavy weeds.
the object was to hit inside the bunker with dirt clods or “die” by actually getting nailed with one in your assault.

!GOOOD TIMES!

Those real dry, dusty dirt clods were the best...when they hit something, it looked like smoke.

I miss the old toys. Now they will shutdown a company for daring to make anything look like a gun. So we have boys using barbies as guns.

I was in a Walgreen's recently and did an exaggerated double-take after walking past a display of toys. RIght there in plain sight were dozens of blister packs of those 6-shot plastic ring caps. The cap guns are entirely bright orange now, but I was very surprised to see that stuff. Of course, it was in Texas.

I remember my shop teacher giving us safety classes in hunting, and tips on how to trap muskrats and beavers.

Outdoor survival, including hunter's safety (resulting in the card needed to get a license), was mandatory to pass junior high when I was in.

from the article you took this quote

Maybe you could use it in a Homeowner's Association

<<<<<<<<<<----------->>>>>>>>>>

To which you snidely remarked,

Author is an effete urban faggot, devoid of redeeming characteristics.



This is the first time I have ever been accused of being an "effete urban faggot, who is devoid of any redeeming characteristics".

You obviously have no sense of humor.

The author is none other than the poster. ME!

The remark was an inside joke about the way the left enjoys enforcing Homeowner's Association rules on people who just want to fly their flag, and, or want to just live like they still might live in the good "OLD US of A!

But if you were like the many of FREEPERS on my ping list and read my articles, then just maybe you might understand my humor and realize I was being facetious (?)

LOL — I have been lately under such attacks I had to ask “did I say such a thing about my buddy OneVike?”

No one has ever been more relieved to see this was a courtesy/fun ping! :)

If you can’t stand the heat, dingbat, get out of the kitchen. The so-called ‘humor’ is ... Well ... Effete and faggoty, amd smacks of inane ignorant urban idiocy.

Buzz off.

I guess it wasn't the "Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The "Man from U.N.C.L.E. toy you are trying to remember was a briefcase which had a cap pistol that came out from a hiding place in the side.

Man I thought the same thing...I’ve been in some vicious battles with old rivals over the primary run up and feared I’d pissed on Vike inadvertently

WOW! I remember those! Can you imagine how much one of those would be worth today? Rick would have to call in a super-duper specialist.

Tens of thousands in mint condition?
