Police discovered the potentially lethal weapon after an anonymous tip-off about a horde of unlicensed firearms in Luleå, northern Sweden.

A 54-year-old man war arrested after a raid at his house uncovered a sawn-off shotgun, a home made sub-machine gun, a Mauser rifle, two revolvers and a walking stick adapted to shoot like a rifle

Awesome,thats some truss rod on that thing,im no expert on crafting guitars,attempted it once when i was younger,was going really well till i fitted the neck and realised it bent back a bit and the strings would just buzz off most of the frets, lol

Anyway have you guys seen anything like this before,weapons concealed in everyday objects or instruments,i did a search and came across various swords fashioned out of walking sticks for sale but nothing like this!

Years ago I took a tour of the FBI building in DC. They had a display of odd confiscated guns with several "concealed" type, including a shotgun in a walking stick. People get very creative when it comes to things like that.

LOL "Gets nasty, get down to business!"

I love that FMG-9.

I'm not sure of the legality of it for civilians, considering the barrel is too short to be a rifle, and it can't be a pistol because it has a stock, I wonder if it could be considered a SBR or AOW to allow civilian ownership? Obviously if you use a Glock18 for it you would also need to have a FFL or CIII permit, but damn I want that thing!

I also saw quite a few cool ones on the History channel before, like the ring and watch guns:

Interestingly, of all the weapons out there, the 12 gauge shotgun is the easiest to make from scratch. Requires no rifling, just a thick enough tube, a chamber for the shells, a simple trigger system and something to act as a receiver and you have a shotgun.

Firearms of any type can be concealed. However, the simplicity of a shotgun makes it among the easiest to do so with.

Ha ha ha, the title of the article is "Death Metal". And since I need a second line, this isn't exactly a weapon "concealed" in an ordinary object (like a tommy-gun inside a violin case), it's more of a purpose built device, and judging from the pics, one device I wouldn't be anywhere near during it's test-firing, as it looks like it might just explode.

He could have legally made it with the 1st tube holding 3000psi, 2nd tube firing the projectile. Would get atleast 5 shots off with pretty high pressures.

Big bore air guns...it's a Korean thang.

It sounds like a prop for the next Antonio Banderas Desperado movie sequel.

I never understood why someone would want to fk up a perfectly good shotgun to try and make a novelty. I would never do that to one of mine.

But on a side note, OMFG I WANT ONE OF THOSE FMG-9 GUNS!!

I checked their site but it had no info. I wish I knew where to get one! It said it was made in 08 so it's been a few years maybe they are out now?????

It was my understanding that this was a one-off prototype kind of thing, and was never intended to be produced (darn!). Not sure where I came about that information, I just remember being bummed that I'd probably never be able to get one for myself, cause DAYUM!
