The Magpul FMG-9 is a prototype folding gun, designed by Magpul Industries in 2008.
History
[edit]The FMG-9 never left the prototype stage, and never saw widespread production on any level, as the item was only produced by Magpul as a proof of concept.
In 2021, however, Magpul unveiled the FDC-9 (Folding Defensive Carbine) and FDP-9 (Folding Defensive Pistol), two redesigned versions of the FMG-9, that were planned to release in 2023.[1][2]
Design
[edit]The FMG-9 is made out of polymer in place of metal, reducing weight. The prototype unveiled by Magpul utilized a Glock pistol as the core of the weapon.[3]
Variants
[edit]FDP
[edit]After some delays, Magpul announced in 2024 that the weapon would be launched as FDP (Folding Defensive Platform) in April 2025. The gun will be available as pistols and carbines.[4]
Airsoft
[edit]In 2010, Magpul Industries' PTS (Professional Training and Simulation) Division released the FPG (lit. 'Folding Pocket Gun') in cooperation with KWA Performance Industries.[5]
The FPG is almost identical to the FMG-9 prototype, but contains the operating mechanism of an airsoft KWA G18C replica and can fire 6mm pellets with a magazine capacity of 49 rounds.[6]
