[SHOT 2026] Zev X Magpul FDP – Folding Defensive Platform

Zev Technologies in collaboration with Magpul showed off their FDP (Folding Defensive Platform), which is available in a pistol or carbine. This briefcase-esque firearm is compact, handy, easy to deploy, and even comes with its own range bag/carry case (as if the platform wasn’t easy enough to carry already).
