Also seen in The Running Man, RoboCop 3, Seaquest DSV among other movies and shows.

I chose to give this model its own thread since I'm putting more detail into this that first envisioned.

Here is a photo from icollector.com which sold the actual prop for $5500 USD.
For some reason the prop production crew didn't use the rifle sling swivel on the collapsible stock as designed and rather mounted it on the left hand magazine, which is probably why that disc shaped piece is stuck on the right hand side. Yes, that is a mini-mag lite on top of the scope mount.

The collapsible stock should expand and retract, although I'm sure that a strong material such as Carbon Fiber PLA will have to be used, since the thickness of the part is 3mm or less. Lots of detail to still do, most notably the raised lettering on the left hand side of the weapon and the magazine. The magazine is designed to separate, but it will be held in place with magnets rather than latches.
Initially I designed the foregrip to have concave sections, but investigation revealed that the foregrip was actually conical with rounded rings and vent holes to which made it appear that it had concave sections.

Oh man, that brings back memories of a friend that had the pistol version of the real thing. It was... very underwhelming.

The backwards Mini Maglite is too funny!
