Kick ass
Must have:
Made by Magpul.
Update: Downgraded from must have to pretty cool once I realized mounting a red dot on it or, heck, regular sights would be difficult.
Update 2: Well, unless that thing has a built in laser.
Hey, magpul, put the thing on your website. Inquiring minds who have money want to know.
Update 3: Via D2K in comments, here’s another vid with a nifty handle:

Actually, the rail (atop the receiver) is on the outside, so you could put a sight on it, though it would make the package bigger. Mebbe they will have some sort of clever folded-up sight to go with it..:-)

but then it won’t look like a box. it will look like a box with an EOTech on it.

Right you are.. so all they need now is a sight that folds up to look like a slim box..:-) Of course, by the time the gadgeteers get done, it’ll look like a bowling ball with telescopes and flashlights stuck to it..

Man, I would happily pay the $200 tax to get one of those.
Actually, that’s a fantastic gun for briefcase carry.

It has been done before.
I doubt that it will be availiable soon given the Masada debacle.

here is a youtube video showing the handle.

It’s a reimplementation of earlier Russian and Israeli designs… it just looks like it’s done better.

You didn’t mention Eugene Stoner’s folding gun…
