I first saw this today but see that the video is 3 years old. Too bad this didn't go into production, it is cool as heck:

    Yeah, isn't that the one that "Will"(?), from Sons of Guns, used as inspiration when he "invented" a flashlight/mac11?

    I definitely like the Magpul one better.

    Solomon was right, there is nothing new under the sun! Eugene Stoner reportedly while at Aries Defense had something like this not long after the M16 came out. It was even used in one of the RoboCop movies IIRC.

    Something very similar at least.

    They are all rip offs of the Mattel toy produced in the 60's. Bastids couldn't even come up with something original. Had to go plagiarizing toys. [:D]

    I had a ZeroM radio rifle and pen when I was a kid as well as some other spy stuff ... don't have a clue as to what happened to any of it but we moved around quite a bit back then so who knows.
    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.
