Under a Gibbous Moon

This video is of a prototype collapsible PDW:

Looks interesting, it apparently makes use of a Glock upper reciever with their own custom, collapsible lower.

I picked this up from BoingBoing. I highly recommend checking it out because it is always entertaining to watch people who know nothing about firearms discuss them.

This is not a SMG, unless they use the Glock 18 for the upper. This would be impractical due to the fact that, with the collapsible grip, you would be limited to standard magazines which would leave you with a very limited ammunition capacity.

Also, this is not a SBR (short barreled rifle). It is a pistol with a stock. No special permits needed.

All that said, it would be a rather interesting product if they decided to market it. It would give you greater stability (granted by the stock) in a very compact package.
