Pretty handy and generally innocent looking, although much more of a backup weapon than a primary firearm.

Actually, with it being basically a Glock, I can actually see use for that in a "date edited Morrow Project" in a sense, as of its "innocent looking nature" while in packed form.

However, I have seen that weapon before now, it was on one of the weapon shows on British TV, quite interesting little gizmo

Flashlight Weapons
 

Here are a couple of Flashlight Weapons I found.

Tear Gas Flashlight

This Combination flashlight gun was invented by V. Merifield, of the Los Angeles police department. At the pressing of a trigger the device ejects a spray of ammonia or gas from a jet to disable any suspect who might attempt to draw a weapon when the flashlight is aimed. The gun weigh only six ounces, had fewer than a dozen parts, and was practically indestructible. Jet and light were controlled by separate triggers. One filling provides 20 shots of gas.

Shotgun Flashlight

The ARES Defense Systems Company a Mag-Light Flashlight that can be used as a shotgun. A grenade-style pin removes the safety, and the flashlight fires a .410 shotgun round out the back when a button is pressed.

Shotgun Mini-Flashlight

The Mini-Mag size fires a .380 round.

Lee,

although Mag-Pull wasn't around , both Glocks and the Ares FMG were in both the T2K and TMP timelines.

Someone, somewhere, could easily have developed a similar weapon as a 1-off prototype in their spare time in some machine shop using a Glock G18. (Or, some Project armourer could whip one up in his or her spare time using some kind of advanced auto-cad apparatus, intended perhaps as a survival weapon for HAAM operators?)

Also, the Russians liked the concept enough to make a (crappy) version in the 90's, the PP-90. It wasn't well-liked but could have been issued to second-line troops invading North America in the late '90's or fighting in Europe.

people have been hiding firearms in the strangest places ever since firearms have existed.

An old CIA weapon was a cigarette that fired a .22LR round. As was a Zippo lighter (geeze ask some guy for a light and next thing you know you have a
.22 shoved up your nose!).

How about a cigar case with a Galious "squeezer"? This one dates back to the 1870s, a plain metal case holding a little .32 pistol, and good for 7 shots!

Walking sticks where you could pull the grip off and have be left holding a single shot, pistol-caliber or shotgun round.

How about the ole key gun. Back in the 1830s, this was a single-shot .36-caliber pistol, disgused to look like an old metal key, jail guards used this one since you could unlock the door and still have a weapon handy!

The Magpul product popped up at SHOT Show a couple-three years back. At the time, they were just showing off a prototype, and the video indicates that it's still in that stage, not production. Theoretically, one using a G17 rather than G18 as the base gun would be civilian-legal in the US, though NFA-regulated as a short-barreled rifle.

(Disclaimer: I covered the original Ares design in Shooter's Guide: Alternate Arms, and did the FMG9 and PP-90 in Undercover Arms.)
