This is essentially an Uzi converted into a form factor than doesn’t look like a gun when folded up. It was designed by one Utah Connor in the early 1980s. Only a few complete guns were made before the registration of transferrable machine guns was closed in 1986, but Connor did make “about one hundred” receivers and register them before that date. The project stagnated for years…

Michael Shyne… was taken with the idea of completing the guns – but his attempts to buy either one gun or the complete project form Connor were rebuffed. Eventually Connor passed away, and the new owner of what turned out to be 76 remaining registered receivers was happy to sell the whole thing.

When Connor originally designed it, he included a handle and fake antenna to disguise it as a radio. By the time Shyne made the guns available commercially that sort of things was laughably outdated, and so he suggested that it could be disguised as a laptop battery or external hard drive – which are equally outdated today.
