The new MTHD Tundra Anorak is a level 5 garment. It’s made from Polartec Neoshell, a stretchy waterproof breathable fabric in a 3 layer construction with the membrane sandwiched between a durable outer material and Jersey knit backer for comfort.
Originally unveiled in 2008, the Folding Machine Gun was a 9mm, Glock-based sub gun, envisioned as a transforming firearm that would snap into action at the push of a button. In 2022, Magpul and ZEV Technologies will bring an updated version to full production.
Here is Magpul’s press release:
At SHOT Show 2008, Magpul® introduced a folding concept gun based on the Glock® operating system. It deployed single-handedly from a compact, simple form factor into a short-barreled carbine that was easier to handle and easier to employ accurately than many typical handguns. It also provided its own safe storage method by folding into itself to form a case. At the time, this concept firearm was intended to be just that…a concept.
In 2019, ZEV Technologies® released their OZ9 modular pistol, which is compatible with Glock-style operating systems, using a unique receiver block that’s independent of the pistol’s grip and allows users to change grip frames to suit their needs.
Shortly thereafter, Magpul and ZEV began working together to bring the folding gun concept to life using a proprietary variant of the ZEV OZ9 operating system and a Magpul chassis. Since then, we’ve been refining designs and obtaining required legal approvals. The result: The ZEV Technologies Folding Defensive Pistol-9 (FDP-9) and Folding Defensive Carbine-9 (FDC-9), both offered in 9x19mm.
The intent, with preliminary ATF approvals in place, is for ZEV Technologies to offer the FDP-9 firearm as a complete, large-format pistol. From there, the purchaser can enjoy the firearm as a self-enclosing large-format pistol. They may also choose to file the appropriate ATF Form 1 and, after approval, purchase a conversion kit to legally assemble it into the FDC-9. It will then be classified as a short-barreled rifle (SBR) and subject to all NFA laws. Although not certain at this time, the FDC-9 might also be offered straight from ZEV and would transfer to the purchaser as an SBR on an ATF Form 4 through their local dealer. The FDP-9 and FDC-9 will not be available from Magpul; they will be available from ZEV Technologies and through distributors and dealers that carry ZEV Firearms.
The ZEV FDP-9 and FDC-9 firearms won’t be ready until next year, but we wanted to share them with the world a little early. We’ve already crossed the most significant hurdles to bringing this concept to life, and we’ll be sharing a lot more about it throughout the upcoming year.
The ZEV Technologies FDP-9 and FDC-9, brought to you by ZEV and Magpul. Coming in 2022.
Some additional amplification:
There will be no kits to transform an OZ9 into this configuration. While the receiver is OZ9-based, it is modified from the original and is proprietary to the FDP-9/FDC-9. The FDP-9/FDC-9 will only be available as a complete firearm.
However, upon receipt of an approved ATF Form 1, there will be a FDC-9 conversion kits to retrofit your existing FDP-9 cover to a Carbine stock.
The firearms will accept Glock 17-round pattern double-stack 9mm Magazines. The FDP-9/FDC-9 will fold into the stowed position with a Magpul PMAG 27 GL9 – Glock installed. It will not work with Glock 19-pattern (or shorter) magazines.

Magpul is adding three new eyewear styles, the Rift, Pivot, and Ascent.
Rift
Bold lines and purposeful styling embody the Magpul Rift, which was designed for use at work, at home, the range, and all points in between. Its versatile frame was made specifically for the wearer who uses the same glasses for most activities. They’re casual enough for virtually any situation, yet loaded with high performance features a shooter wants.
The Rift’s frame coverage is considerable, and its increased temple height provides substantial side protection from light and debris, making them the perfect frame for brighter days on the water or at the range. The frame is constructed of TR90NZZ and the lenses have been impact-tested and safety rated, providing you with the all-around protection your eyes need with a Z87+ ballistic rating. Generally made to fit medium and large faces, the rubber overmolded nose pads keep them securely in place no matter what you’re up to.
The Rift is durable and incredibly strong, yet comfortable enough to be worn all day, and it’s available with both Polarized and Non-Polarized lenses.
Pivot
The Pivot is a casual design based on our Explorer model, merging high performance with casual style in a fit that suits small to medium faces. Its lightweight frame, low profile temples, and impact-resistant lens and frame combination are casual enough for everyday use.
The Pivot’s frames are constructed from TR90NZZ, the strongest thermoplastic material available for eyewear and, combined with its impact-resistant lenses, makes them some of the most durable, flexible, and lightweight sunglasses available. Their oleophobic polycarbonate
lenses shed liquid and won’t be degraded by water, sweat, or chemicals. The overmolded anti-slip rubber nose and temple pads prevent slippage, no matter what activity you’re engaged in.
The Pivot comes in a range of polarization, color and mirror options to give you the premium clarity and contrast you need from a great pair of shades, while also supporting many high energy activities in variable light conditions and environments.
Ascent
Designed to keep up with the most active user, the Magpul Ascent provides high-performance eye protection and all-day comfort while you’re on the move.
With a frame constructed of TR90NZZ and impact-resistant oleophobic lenses, the Ascent has our highest Z87+ ballistic rating. Its lightweight design proves rugged ballistic protection that ensures consistent overall protective coverage. Its tight, eight-base wrap keeps debris out, provides lateral eye and temple protection, and minimizes incoming stray light. The low-profile temples, combined with its over-molded temple and nose pads, keep the Ascent in place and comfortable all day long, even during high tempo and physically demanding activities.
Whether you’re on the range, trail running, working out, or hiking, the Ascent was designed to look good, protect and perform.
The new PMAG 20 AR 300 B GEN M3 is a dedicated 20 round magazine for 300 Blackout, or, as the Europeans like to call it, 7.62 x 35.
Like its 30 round bigger brother, the 20 rounder offers increased safety, helping prevent inserting a magazine loaded with .300 ammunition in a .223 chambered rifle thanks to its distinct ribbed design and
smoother upper-half texture.
Along with optimized 300 BLK performance, the PMAG 20 incorporates all of Magpul’s GEN M3 features, including our next-generation impact and crush resistant polymer, aggressive front and rear texture, an easily removable slim floor plate, a paint pen dot matrix for marking and
identification, and a dust/impact cover.
If you missed out on the limited edition versions of the Magpul Rigger knife, they’ve just introduced an EDC version.
Although the overall design remains the same, with its distinctive Modified Wharncliffe blade, they’ve swapped out the blade material from S35VN to CPM 154. CPM 154 aims for a Rockwell C hardness of 58 – 60 and will more readily polish to a mirror finish and is easier to grind than CPM S30V.
It features a double-locking aluminum frame. The Rigger EDC also incorporates Magpul’s Secondary Locking Feature. The pocket clip can also be reversed.
