    Ever since the invention of firearms, weapons designers have constantly sought to improve them. Some focused on increasing the range or accuracy, while others wanted to increase the rate of fire or the ammunition capacity. This has led to the creation of iconic and infamous weapons that can lay down a blistering rate of fire to mow down scores of enemies, or deliver pinpoint accurate shots from unbelievable distances.
    There are some firearm designs that went a different route though. Made with concealment in mind, here are a few examples of seemingly mundane objects that hold a deadly secret.

    Fun fact: HK made a “modern” variant of the briefcase MP5 (still 80’s Samsonite looking) that had a ‘trigger’ release bar on the top of the briefcase handle.
    When pressed/squeezed, the briefcase would open and drop to the floor. Leaving the MP5K with the handle attached in the person’s hand. Ready to go and shoot.
    Way cooler than the original briefcase gun IMO.

    1:40 It's like the suitcase gun from Black Lagoon, where Roberta had installed an LMG inside the case and even had a Spas-12 disguised as an umbrella.

    Probably the best makeshift guns in plain sight are the ones that are :
    1. Indistinguishable from every day items
    2. Single Shot or maybe two barrels for concealment
    3. Foldable if applicable
    4. Can be disposed of or put back into a concealed state leaving as little evidence behind as possible.

    The Poacher Guns live on, although under a different name: Survival Rifle.
    Still light in weight and easy to transport, it's meant for, well, survival, hunting small game. At least one model has both .22 And 12 Gauge.

    This thumbnail’s great for a very specific reason.
    When my dad was an instructor in the swat/millitary community, he was kinda sorta “apprenticed” to a man i Didn’t catch the name of. In one of his “lessons,” my dad was handed an mp5 and a manual written entirely in german.
    My dad didn’t know a lick of german.
    His instruction was to teach a class on the disassembly and maintenance of the mp5 the next day. He was given the mp5 and manual in a PAPER BAG to bring back to his hotel. He translated the manual overnight and taught the class without a hitch the next day.

    A few years ago someone made a concealable holder for a Glock pistol similar to the UC-9, except it looked like an E-book or tablet (also have we seriously reached the time we have to explained what a boombox is?). Not sure it's the successor who made it or someone came up on their own.

    Another improvised and disguised as an everyday object gun was the various improvised mortars used during the troubles in Northern Ireland by the provisional IRA, there was one that was a 15 and a half inch mortar known as the barricbuster and it was usually concealed in the back of a ordinary looking panel van or box truck like a Ford Transit and there would be a panel cut out in the roof that could be knocked out of place when the gun fires, and they were mostly fired autonomously using a timer, the driver would park the van in a specific spot, leave either with a stashed bicycle or even by hailing a cab and then after a predetermined time the mortar would fire and lob a 300 lb high explosive shell at whatever they were trying to hit. It was also nicknamed The flying car bomb
