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.)

Which is why I publicly asked from the top if this was sanctioned by Fresno
A the answer appeared to be No

Last time it got like this in 2005 over amnesty I got a15 month boot so I wanted to see where all this action areas coming from and whether to lie low

Hey guys, I posted my comment, and figured that by the time I got home in 15 min I would be involved with this. Then I got home and there was no electricity in the kitchen. needless to say I needed to do some electrical work pronto if i was to have dinner.

Wel the lights and the oven all work and my wife is busy making dinner, so now I am finally back online.

I just want to say I apologize for pinging and running, but as I said I meant to be right back when I arrived me.

Looks like it is all ended and I missed the fun I thought I might have......

Oh well. Thanks all.

There was some good news for me when I got home though, my “Twoifbytea” arrived and the raspberry flavored tea is truly everything I have heard it to be. I’m not even a big tea person, but this stuff is really good.

You see, that just highlights the disconnect here, OV. AB has to hike five miles barefoot down a rocky trail to the shed where his neighbor keeps a donkey, steal the donkey, then ride it 15 miles down a muddy ravine before he even sees an electrical line. LOL

Now that was funny, but I doubt ArrogantBustard would find any humor in it.

Some people are just too wound up for their own health.

Yea, I could have, but I really wanted to find out what caused the big INGGZIP sound, when the lights went out.

Found it. It was the ceiling fan. The sound was the motor seizing up in the fan and causing a huge short witch tripped the breaker.

I will be leaving the ceiling fan disconnected from the wiring until tomorrow when I can get to Home Depot for a new unit. Then I will again have some electrical work waiting for me when I get home again.

Dinner was good by the way, a nice three cheese chicken casserole with garlic bread and a salad.

That's never a good thing. ;-)

Wow...I remember the "shooting brief case", but was that a "Secret Sam" instead of Man from UNCLE? I remember there was a Man from UNCLE lighter that turned into a pistol too. I never owned these...but some of the kids in the neighborhood did, so I got to play with them. I remember the periscope on the pistol. LOL

Awww... You’re such a sweet guy, AB. Way to win people over, with a cudgel. And here’s to our mutual use of that handy ignore button.

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

But ya gotta admit, that's a pretty good insult.

Close, but no cigar.

I have to steal the donkey, drag it back up the mountain, and force it to walk on a treadmill, to generate electricity.

You ever try to force a donkey (your neighbor's donkey, no less) to walk on a treadmill?

Yes, it is. Not one I would use on anyone, but good insult just the same.

I would think that it would be about as easy as getting 3rd generation welfare brat to just think about getting a job.

OOPs, I'll try that again. That was a URL to a video I am preparing to post. This is what I meant to copy and comment to.
