I'm instantly reminded of that craigslist (or something) ad about disguised weapons but it's just an AR-15 or something with a sprite box wrapped over it in a hilarious way. Best was the guy was pretending to be serious about the ad causing the customer to go ballistic
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. That was a really fun Arc. Edit: That, and Desperado. I was gonna bring up the movie, but thought it was too obvious and easy.
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.
17:17 OMG that caught me so off guard to the point it made me spit my drink. Taking a bite is one thing, but speaking with a mouthful really got me. Thanks Simple History for making my day better.
Pronounciation of Spezialkoffer and Spezialtasche in this show is kind of exotic but very charming. As a German it reminds me on a mixture between Dutch and Swedish.
My dad's father was a navy engineer back in the early days and he was a supervisor and help design and build ships even the uss Missouri and a few others
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.
They had one of those briefcase H&K weapons at the Small Arms School Corps Weapons Collection in Warminster when I visited. I must say that the connection from briefcase handle to trigger did seem a bit "Heath Robinson" from memory.
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. The UC-9 wasn't the only folding SMG, there's also the Hotchkiss Universal.
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.
My friend uses a cane and he got a nice metal one recently that unscrews at some parts and has two knives, one that's more of a saw, and a flint for starting fires inside.
The UC-9’s my favourite of the bunch. I’ve seen a modern example on the Discovery channel show Sons of Guns, they disguised it as a Bluetooth speaker to surprise the boss.
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.
I had one ! In about 1965 in 4th grade I got a Man From Uncle spy briefcase that had a build in pistol …… Saw one on line in toys on ebay for about 750 bucks .
They have an umbrella gun in the museum of spying in Washington DC, but they stress that it is not the one the assasins used but what they think it could have been, as the real weapon has never been captured, the Russians have also used radiactive powder as a poison.
On 17:15 I KNEW That is Recognized that Firearm, and I Vaguely recalled RoboCop, when I saw it, I was like what in the world is that thing, thank you simple history for telling me
the "Special Case" might be of limited use but it is really well engineered, as you would expect from H&K. there was a copycat version made with a Mac 10 inside that was kind of hilariously homebrew in comparison.
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
There have been a few other folding, disguised handguns made. They are typically single-shot or semi-auto with a magazine. The only issue with the one featured in the video was that it was Class III, fully automatic weapon... which cannot be sold to individuals that are not licensed to resell automatic weapons (to law enforcement for example).
im starting to wonder if the voice over is done by AI or not? Because on all types of these videos the voice you hear is always a cool and easy to understand
Hey if you're a photographer with a long lens it'd be super fun to hang out in the diplomatic and politiciany bit of your country and see you can spot any briefcases with suspicious holes in them :D
i keep thinking someone hid a single shot slug or single explosive patch mechanism in my pillow, the former to emulate a suicide , although a recently fired gun would need to be placed for it to be legit, as well as the hand/area would have no firearm discharge evidence (soot and such? or is that only with muskets? lol). all in all, it would be used not as a suicide faker most likely(though still not infeasible), and would be purposed primarily for murder, and hopefully have never been commissioned for me. I have PTSD from a lot of trauma, so some nights i keep feeling a gun being put to my head, thru my pillow/mattress, just to mention one thing

"With my years of marine training, anything can be a weapon in my hands. Including this briefcase."
👏👏👏
Do you by any chance have a barcode at the back of your head?
@@cristanoverLMFAOOOOOOO😂😂😂😂
Nice work, agent 47.
Disgusting weapons
The briefcase gun is more of a "Oh you are robbing me? How about you eat some lead."
That would be a cool one-liner though
I loved the briefcase gun in James Bond and perfect dark (well laptop gun)
That’s stupid
I'm instantly reminded of that craigslist (or something) ad about disguised weapons but it's just an AR-15 or something with a sprite box wrapped over it in a hilarious way. Best was the guy was pretending to be serious about the ad causing the customer to go ballistic
Id buy
I'm sure the customers liked those ballistics.
And disguising a Glock as a plastic cup?
@@CliffCardi Carnikcon?
@@latewizard301 a what?

Thumbs up for Black Lagoon reference!!!! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃Wish there are new season coming sooner or later....
@@medusaalpha7207 Did they?
That same thing also appears in Kingsman as well. Used by Eggsy in the final battle
Is your name a reference to Hotel Moscow?

Ah yes, Heckler and Coke - my favorite spicy beverage maker
@@RazorsharpLT non weapon
Ghost in the Shell had something similar as well.

What no!😊

Meanwhile the officer staring at an Illegal SBS tied to a leash with dog ears near the sights.
"officer i can assure you this bag of water with my pet goldfish inside it isn't a pipe bomb
Kingsman anyone?
But the kingsman one more powerful is a rocket launcher as well and shield
Yup!!! But they had more modifications which makes much more potential then these..
Yep

I had a water pistol disguised as a pistol.
May ATF wouldn't recognized that.

I really enjoyed your video about concealed guns, it showcases us the ingenuity of firearm designers, it also gives James Bond-style spy movie flair.
Its great to see a channel with a nice upload schedule AND high quality content
the FMG-9 is a prime example of perfectly concealed weapons
Pronounciation of Spezialkoffer and Spezialtasche in this show is kind of exotic but very charming. As a German it reminds me on a mixture between Dutch and Swedish.
My dad's father was a navy engineer back in the early days and he was a supervisor and help design and build ships even the uss Missouri and a few others
2:30 that sound the guy made when he died 😂

Can’t wait for more updates and content from this amazing channel!
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. I remember on the 11th of November we always watched your World War One videos in my school.
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.
The UC-9 wasn't the only folding SMG, there's also the Hotchkiss Universal.
The FMG-9 was another folding SMG
3:32
Romeo Must Die comes to mind immediately. Was so cool to actually seen that being used.
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.

2:24 Average villain in a movie be like:
My friend uses a cane and he got a nice metal one recently that unscrews at some parts and has two knives, one that's more of a saw, and a flint for starting fires inside.
As a American i use these for self defense.
I liked this format. Gave some extra fun to the video. But the x-ray gun is S tear for sure
Am I the only one amused that his character ate a toasted pop tart and he went so far to make it sound like he had?😂
The umbrella gun is the funniest
Kingsman Eggsy: 🤨
Fr. Reminds me of the penguin (DC)'s umbrella gun
@@albertsupport right?
@@albertsupport penguin.not only have umbrella gun.but disposal flame thrower umbrella etc.all look likely umbrella.even umbrella blade.
"I'm Sugar and Spice"
Still tossing a vote on MACV-SOG unit video along with Jim Corbett The Maneater Hunter
You really did a great job at pronouncing "Spezialkoffer".
Probably the best ad segway I’ve ever seen
i always thought the briefcase gun was something made up for kingsman the golden circle
The UC-9 concept did have a modern-day successor in the form of Magpul's FMG-9.
Yeah I was very surprised he didn’t mention the FMG-9 in this vid
I think the Camera Gun is S-Tier. 😂😂😂
the cameraman always survives
The Pen Gun maybe mightier than the Sword, but the Sword Gun is mightier than the Pen Gun.
The UC-9’s my favourite of the bunch. I’ve seen a modern example on the Discovery channel show Sons of Guns, they disguised it as a Bluetooth speaker to surprise the boss.

23:01 and that one is from 1946 kinda bizzare
THESE DISGUISED WEAPONS LOOKS LIKE FROM THE MOVIES & TV SHOWS, IT WAS AWESOME! 🔫➡️💼📺🎬🎥👍
I had one !
In about 1965 in 4th grade I got a Man From Uncle spy briefcase that had a build in pistol ……
Saw one on line in toys on ebay for about 750 bucks .
What a smooth in take to a commercial
so good vid man👍
Super dope video,great content
The briefcase machinegun from the thumbnail, I immediately think of the guitar case machine gun from Desperado
I’ve seen one the infamous KGB umbrella poison weapon.
They have an umbrella gun in the museum of spying in Washington DC, but they stress that it is not the one the assasins used but what they think it could have been, as the real weapon has never been captured, the Russians have also used radiactive powder as a poison.
My favorite is the Castro cigar and they tested it on CIA versus KGB Deadliest Warrior.
On 17:15 I KNEW That is Recognized that Firearm, and I Vaguely recalled RoboCop, when I saw it, I was like what in the world is that thing, thank you simple history for telling me
I thought thoes were some pretty sick dance moves @ 13:00 😂
I’m a huge fan of the cane gun. I’ve always wanted one to be honest.
you sound like a (slightly) nerdy version of snake from metal gear and i love it
the "Special Case" might be of limited use but it is really well engineered, as you would expect from H&K. there was a copycat version made with a Mac 10 inside that was kind of hilariously homebrew in comparison.
Mp5k in a briefcase? Bet.

19:55 the guy walks away at the end... lmao
Beauty of a video!
The briefcase gun
Imagine just picking up a briefcase someone left behind and accidentally shooting someone
Ingram made a Briefcase gun for the Mac-10, and If I remember right it was designed to be used with the two stage suppressor.
15:00 I remember first seeing this in Robocop 2.
2:25 bro: shooting 50 bullets with his gun towards the breefcase ahh dude
also breefcase ahh dude being bulletproof💀
In Japan that brief case gun would be super easy to conceal
There have been a few other folding, disguised handguns made. They are typically single-shot or semi-auto with a magazine. The only issue with the one featured in the video was that it was Class III, fully automatic weapon... which cannot be sold to individuals that are not licensed to resell automatic weapons (to law enforcement for example).
imagine he steps back and u punch ur own hand to make sure it goes off and then u get the kill still. epic. lolol
I've held a briefcase gun, with the MP5 in it. It looks badass and is mechanically simple.
Hey simple history can you make a video about 55 days at peking where 8 allied nations vs Boxer rebellion
The breifcase gun looked very familiar to the 90's toy gun comercial i found
13:38 Inglorious bastards recreation lol, thats cool man
10:36 I liked the little Red Dead Redemption 2 reference there lol
1:18 cool lineup bro
Hickok45 actually have one of those brief case gun. It's freekin awsome
im starting to wonder if the voice over is done by AI or not? Because on all types of these videos the voice you hear is always a cool and easy to understand
YOUR TOPICS ARE INTRIGUING
My wish list!
Now this is new commentary and jokes from you interesting idea
The pen gun animation took me tf out
Hey if you're a photographer with a long lens it'd be super fun to hang out in the diplomatic and politiciany bit of your country and see you can spot any briefcases with suspicious holes in them :D
A video about the R9X "Ninja" rocket would be interesting !!!
briefcase one is so genius but so simple
New hitman idea, make the mp5k briefcase but it also floats and shoots at the same time
Still love the punch glove gun lol
Briefcases are making a come back thanks to hipsters.
Brandon Herrera has a "Glove Gun" and did a video on it firing it over on his channel.
I remember the Glove gun from the movie Inglorious Basterds that movie was awesome and funny
I like the x ray gun. The little animation at the end was funny. Plus it can also work in modern day.
Right here, officer, this is the guy
You should have covered the spanish sunglasses-case gun
I personally disguised my Desert Eagle as an AK-47, keeping it sneaky
Imagine turning on the tv and seeing a message saying "you are allowed to kill these people and you wont be doing anything illegal"
i keep thinking someone hid a single shot slug or single explosive patch mechanism in my pillow, the former to emulate a suicide , although a recently fired gun would need to be placed for it to be legit, as well as the hand/area would have no firearm discharge evidence (soot and such? or is that only with muskets? lol). all in all, it would be used not as a suicide faker most likely(though still not infeasible), and would be purposed primarily for murder, and hopefully have never been commissioned for me. I have PTSD from a lot of trauma, so some nights i keep feeling a gun being put to my head, thru my pillow/mattress, just to mention one thing
That ending scene with the X-ray gun was kind of funny, actually.
You sound so much like the boss of the cleaner in the game nobody dies
