Awesome. 308 magpul masada! Its too bad that foldable SMG would be worthless in a model that the state dept would allow export.
 
What was old is new again....

The Ares folding submachine gun was attempt by a gun manufacturer to create a completely compact submachine gun weapon system. Eugene Stoner, the developer of the M16 rifle and M63 Stoner light machine gun (a Vietnam-era light machine gun alternative to the M60 GPMG) ran the project through his Ares, Incorporated gun firm.

The basic concept revolved around the idea of arming civilians, in particular businessmen whom were sometimes the targets of kidnappers, with a concealable submachine gun-type weapon system.

The basic blowback firing action is said to be acceptable for a system this size and the weapon was chambered for a variety of 9mm rounds. A rate of 650 rounds per minute is reported, with an effective range between 250 and 400 feet. A 20 or 32-round cartridge system could be fed into the weapon. The pistol grip is hollow and is where the box magazine is fed through.

The Ares folding submachine gun is folded by pushing a lock button and bringing the rear part of the gun system forward and down over the pistol grip, then folding both parts in under the barrel section. To unfold the system, the user pushes two unlocking buttons on the front part of the weapon (making up the barrel) and pull the weapon casing backwards then up. No fixed sights are afforded the shooter. The system folds down to 10.3 inches in length (262mm). The system can be made ready to fire in 3-5 seconds.

Though never put into production, at least five working versions were produced and tested. No variants are known is exist beyond these and none have ever been reported to be used in actual conflict. Though the concept might be sound, it obviously did not generate enough interest in the gun market to be designed further.

The Dave Boatman-produced M-21 folding submachine gun and the Russian PP-90 all follow the same type of design philosophy though the Stoner-designed FMG is the most recognizable of the three.

^I'd be willing to bet that a .308 masada means there's a .308 ACR in the future... If they ever let the ACR in to Canada then who knows maybe you can get a 20" .308 one and go blast away to your heart's content.
 
Ooooh...Magpul :drool:

The folding Glock variant is techy KEWL :p

I still can for the life of me understand the Kriss SMG. It has a short barrel for its size. Anyone have pics or details on how to fieldstrip it?

What if crud gets into that vector changing bolt and buffer system, how easy is it to clear jams?

It just seems so big for what it is. I reckon I'd rather have the old school G18 with the stock if it is to be a firearm with a really short barrel. Or...the transformer Magpul. :p
 
Our conversation with Rich indicated that only the 5.56 ACR is licensed to Bushmaster. The 308 version is not covered by Bushmaster

The folding pistol runs on Glock magazine and Glock slide. Apparently they have very good response and they are inclinded to put that into production.

The folding sight will be priced under 100 dollars for a set of front and rear - expect summer release IIRC.
