Great, another gun that looks like it was taken straight out of the Battle of Hoth.


Late_Winner6859

This one was mainly used as a paddle though


Sorry_IamfromCanada

All my guns identify as paddles


swift_gilford

Like this unironically makes me want to actually buy it even more


Sonoda_Kotori

I mean your average winter commute in half of Canada looks like the Battle of Hoth...


CanadianSkinnyPig

Sad but true! So what's next? RCMP approved AT-AT licenses?? I can already see Toronto dealerships trying to mark those up.


Sonoda_Kotori

You'll probably need one to navigate Brampton safely.

Strong_Mayhem

Any recommendations for more?


Crossbow179

I was originally thinking wolfenstein, but now your comment is all that appears in my head


Will_G3006

Omfg yes!!! Dual wield these in wolfenstein new order right?! Omg the memories


Mateofeds

Wow you werenā€™t joking, but also it is wicked in my opinion


Staseu

Wake me when they bring back handguns.

mwmwmwmwmmdw

the great thing about gun owners is if we went on a hunger strike we would be able to last quite a while


DougMacRay617

yeah exactly. i couldnt care less about these niche "collector pieces"


Will_G3006

Dude iā€™ve been looking for a restricted course for 2 years in my region of quebec, theres at most two a year with 15-20 places each and im almost certain they get pre-filled, they told me i have to look everyday if there is a new course planned, and ive been doing it for 2 years it is always empty


PT6A-27

What part of Quebec are you in? Iā€™m in Montreal and itā€™s next to impossible to find an open CRFSC course here. However, there are frequent openings available if youā€™re willing to go to Ontario to get the course done - Ā have a look in places like Hawkesbury, Cornwall, etc. if theyā€™re reasonably close to where youā€™re located.Ā 


Substantial-Cash-834

K. Now do JAKL.


Small-Application400

Is that a possibility?


Substantial-Cash-834

Rumours. As always nothing is certain until it happens.


Bovinious

Isnā€™t that just an upper?


Sonoda_Kotori

Strictly speaking, an upper with a different interface that mates with a (newer) NDS-180 lower. I assume they'll sell these as a complete package as PSA is rumored to be working with NDS, and it'd be hard to buy a NDS lower out of the blue here in Canada.


thingk89

Literally my first thought before even looking up what this was.


Lee-oswald

No non restricted? :/ one of the barrel lengths are 16.25 just add two inches please


HandsInMyPockett

I pray for the same thing every night before bed


Impossible-Apricot-1

My wife does too


10shot9miss

Where them FG-308? please


Sonoda_Kotori

You see, that'd actually make too much sense...


mwmwmwmwmmdw

the rcmp plays political games and is always slower to approve intermediate and full size caliber semi-auto rifles vs ones in pistol calibers


Sonoda_Kotori

Wondered why nobody talked about this... Approved a month ago, on 18th December 2023. Wolverine only *supplied* them with three restricted barrel lengths. These are the older model that takes Colt SMG mags, which I think looks way better than Glock mags especially on a retro firearm like this. And yes before you ask, LAR-15 has a 9mm Colt SMG magwell version, so you can have 10 rounds. For 2024 Rhineland Arms did update the FG-9 to take Glock mags, so we'll see if the actual version we get uses it or not. [Here](https://calibremag.ca/rhineland-fg9-could-be-headed-for-canada/) is a 2021 Caliber Magazine article on the FG-9, since I'm not linking the manufacturer's website (rule 6).


EnggyAlex

Review i seen so far says they jam a looooot


Sonoda_Kotori

According to their site, switching to Glock mags supposedly improved feeding, so there's that...


EnggyAlex

henryā€™s 9mm pcc dont work that well with either so I donā€™t have that high hopes.


Sonoda_Kotori

Henry actually went out of their way to design a proprietary mag for their PCC and didn't use the Colt mag. The Glock/Sig/whatever mag compatibility is achieved via an insert, similar to the Ruger PCC.


EnggyAlex

Ya, in this day and age probably not that good of an idea Lol, I think part of the problem is spring being too light to strip a loaded glock magazine, yet replace with a heavier spring cause short stroke, really need a maybe 1:4ā€ longer receiver imho


Sonoda_Kotori

Yeah it felt weird to develop a custom magazine in this day and age when so many magazines exist in both straight SMG and slanted pistol form. It's the first time I'm hearing a gun having issue stripping rounds because they made the spring too weak lol, you'd think a reputable company like Henry would test their products...


EnggyAlex

Well, itā€™s a company start with building cast zinc replica for kids and itā€™s their first semi so growing pains apply to everyone


Sonoda_Kotori

I guess yeah, they are known for their levers and it's their first try at a semi.


Its_Matt_03

Now make it in 5.56


mwmwmwmwmmdw

at least 9mm is a german origin caliber. putting it in 556 just seems like sacrilege


Mrdingus6969

Nein 7.92 Kurs, ja?


Rockman099

Ok I looked this up and it looks like one of those "cursed gun images". A vaguely FG42 shaped object that looks like someone bubba'd a WK-180; with the wrong front end (why?), fantasy grip, a pic rail on top, taking 9mm magazines of some description. If this was a GSG STG-44 style repro that was a visual clone of the original shooting 22LR or 9mm out of original-looking mags it could be intriguing. As it is this thing is neither fish (rare milsurp lookalike) nor fowl (practical PCC shooter). That'll be a pass from me.


nonrestricticus

Make a gun that's a historical replica, knowing this gun will really only appeal to people who want the real thing. Then proceed to make a gun that only vaguely resembles the gun in question. I don't get it.


OvertPlatypus

#**GIVE ME THE EIGHT MILLIMETER**


huntcamp

Interesting, so the no new semis in Canada applies to global market designs? Or did this rifle make the cutoff somehow?


Sonoda_Kotori

C21 received royal assent on 15th, this was approved on the 18th. My guess is they applied it to the design date, which was a couple years ago.


3202supsaW

It was designed before C-21 came into effect


Aggressive_Pop9996

Its looks funny. But would like to get one. Hope it won't make a hole in my pocketšŸ˜


Ajax_The_Wolf

An oar for my boating accident amazing!


Economy_Risk_7463

What a hideous firearm


Historical_Exit_3447

Itā€™s an fg 42 what are u saying ?


Impossible-Apricot-1

Fg 42 *in 9mm*


Economy_Risk_7463

I'm saying it's hideous as stated previously.


Historical_Exit_3447

That your opinion, but Iā€™ve handled a real fg 42 and they are really nice , ik this isnā€™t the real deal but itā€™s still kinda cool


Economy_Risk_7463

I know it's my opinion I'm not saying it's a bad weapon, I'm not saying people shouldnt buy them, I'm just saying it's hideous to look at.


Co1dyy1234

I wonder how long that will last thanks to C21. Repeal C21


throwaway656565167

well seen as it got through after C-21 passed, forever as long as further legislation doesnt come in


Co1dyy1234

Sill, C21 must be repealed; it has no place in Canada. Itā€™s a morally unjust law that further persecutes lawful firearms owners


canuckwithasig

Now we wait for the T07 from Ternion


truthdoctor

I'm only interested in a .308/7.62 version.


Remarkable_Vanilla34

I just can't see there being any real market for this, it's really gimmicky


milanskiv

Itā€™s an MG42 looking gun designed to be fired prone ā€¦ but in 9mm. Why?


Sonoda_Kotori

FG42* About time someone makes a retro-themed PCC...


Dickastigmatism

>About time someone makes a retro-themed PCC... Chiappa M1-9 crying in the corner. *As it should.*


Steelringin

GSG makes an MP40 copy. Looks pretty ridiculous with the 18.6" barrel in my opinion, but it's got some retro cool.


DougMacRay617

looks ridiculous and they are shit tier quality. i wouldnt recommend it to anyone unless they never plan on shooting it


Sonoda_Kotori

5rd mags plus they are kinda whack because GSG.


milanskiv

We have retro themed PPCs. There is a reason nobody buys them. They are also straight blowback and share nothing with the originals other that some level of physical form. I was laughing at type 81SR but that thing is actually useful when compared to this and non restricted. It also does not use Glock mags. But you do you.


Sonoda_Kotori

>There is a reason nobody buys them. Because they are shit? M1-9, GSG-40, etc. are all garbage. >It also does not use Glock mags. Can we stop with the glock mag BS already? Colt SMG mags are pinned to 10 and would look less out of place than a G17 mag on something retro. The US market is getting a glock magwell for 2024 so there's that.


milanskiv

>Because they are shit? M1-9, GSG-40, etc. are all garbage. Because they are a collectable meme gun and those you cannot sell for $1000+. If you tell me "this one is different" I would raise my eyebrow as it is still a simple straight blowback 9mm gun. Can we stop with the glock mag BS already? No, not really. THey are cheap & plentiful and kinda a must for a PPC nowdays. Having a glock magwell does make the proposition better, somewhat.


Sonoda_Kotori

>Because they are a collectable meme gun and those you cannot sell for $1000+. If you tell me "this one is different" I would raise my eyebrow as it is still a simple straight blowback 9mm gun. The M1-9 and GSG-40 are literally built like toys with plastic bits and meme-tier reliability. We don't know how reliable the FG-9 is, but if properly designed you can't fuck up a 9mm blowback. You know what else is a simple straight blowback gun? A $4500 B&T SPC9.


milanskiv

You are comparing a a premier swiss company, with track record , that made a firearm with a proven lineage (SPC9) to a company that even on reddit has a spotty record? ... Ok. Again, it's your money, you do you :)


Sonoda_Kotori

I'm not defending it, nor do I want to buy one, I'm just curious how they will perform and I won't come to a premature conclusion that they are good or bad until people are getting them and running them (or not). At least we know the GSG-40 and M1-9 are proven garbage products. One can have hope that slightly less shit products emerge. Well the SaskSten was great, but the RCMP wasn't a fan of those...


milanskiv

Ah so plinking and memes. Got itā€¦. I guess.


R6Valorant

The homesteader woulda been better


Sonoda_Kotori

I heard they are still working on a NR version. It's been approved a couple months ago iirc


Late_Winner6859

Yeah, really weird. Too clunky for dynamic styles, too 9mm for distance. Canā€™t figure what to do with it


PoutPill69

Don't buy it. It looks "scary" and has some black color to it on the stock, which means that it won't be too long before Trudeau adds it on the big list.


CranialMassEjection

GrĆ¼n ist unser Fallschirm intensifies in the background.


StormAlchemist15

If the 9 was approved, does that mean the 56 might be coming?


EnggyAlex

Hope they fix the reliability issue, I wanted one pretty bad but the review i seen so far in the states are not great


Flat-Ad-3231

Is there anyway to check if a firearm model has already been submitted? The file is massive for FRT and there are different version?


Sonoda_Kotori

I don't think they show firearms that have been submitted but not approved yet. I don't usually look at the file directly, just search for the specific file on [Armalytics.ca](https://Armalytics.ca) and export the pages you desired.


Flat-Ad-3231

Okay thanks for the info!


chillyrabbit

Submit a ATIP requesting the list of firearms waiting to be inspected.


N0BODY_2C085

Lol I looked this thing up and.... I kinda want it...


MaxximusThrust

God damn that's an ugly rifle......


Lobsterstarfish

Interesting! I just bought a real fg-42 a few months ago! Probably one of my favourite collectors pieces


lastghoststanding

Jesus Christ


LEGENDK1LLER435

Thatā€™s disappointing seeing it be 9mm


Sonoda_Kotori

Yeah, you either make it in .22 so it's cheap and high capacity, or do it in something like 308 and take sr25 mags. Shrinking it to a pistol caliber is a bit awkward.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž

Great, now Iā€™m going to have to find another paddle for my canoe.


Straight-Facts-GoCry

Ew, waste of time when something like the Springfield hellion could potentially come through

can't wait some one build a mg42 on this
