The idea is simple; hide a submachine gun inside an ordinary looking briefcase so that it can be carried in the open by VIP security without arousing attention. Sometimes this is done strictly for stowage (see the Uzi coming out of a Secret Service briefcase during the attempted Reagan assassination) and sometimes it is designed to fire from within the case (see the H&#038;K MP5 operational case). This one is meant for firing.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike virtually all other such cases, this one includes a sight, a helium-neon laser. That allows the gun to be actually aimed &#8211; what an idea! The firing mechanism is also well thought out, with a manual safety switch that powers the laser and firing solenoid, then a constant-pressure switch for the laser and a pressure pad for the gun. I don\u2019t know who made this, but it was a commercially available product\u2026and a very cool one at that!<\/p>\n<p>Check out Headstamp Publishing&#8217;s extensive catalog of excellent books:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com\/home-forgotten\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com\/home-forgotten<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices:<br \/>weaponsandwar.tv<\/p>\n<p>The best firearms reference books: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cAmerican 180 Security Briefcase\u201d is the best execution of the operational briefcase concept that I have yet seen.
