M91S Custom Assault Pistol

This Custom Assault Pistol is an unusual submachine gun-style weapon that was a part of the firearms inventory of Felcan Enterprises in British Columbia. According to recently discovered information, this weapon was scratch made by a gunsmith in Vancouver and subsequently found its way into Felcan's inventory. This weapon is known as the "M91S", referring to the "Square" Version of the pistol and 1991, the year the weapon was created. One of the earliest appearances of this weapon in any media appears to be in the pilot episode of the syndicated TV series Cobra in September of 1993, and subsequently in a Season 2 episode of the television adaptation of Highlander and the The X-Files Season 1 episode "Fallen Angel", both of which also debuted late in 1993. The weapon's earliest feature film appearance appears to be in 1994's Timecop, where two were seen fitted with laser sights and barrel shrouds. Timecop was filmed in British Columbia, Canada, and these custom firearms would subsequently appear in other films and television series produced in the same region during the 1990s, including the film Rumble in the Bronx and series such as M.A.N.T.I.S. and Viper.

Also according to recently discovered information, this weapon has FN FAL pistol grips and utilizes modified 9mm Uzi magazines and mag releases. Besides that, everything else about the weapons is scratch-made (even the springs).

-This Custom Assault Pistol is an unusual submachine gun-style weapon that appears to have been specially constructed by Tom Felcan of Felcan Enterprises in British Columbia. The weapon's first appearance in any media was in the pilot episode of the syndicated TV series ''[[Cobra (TV Series)|Cobra]]'' in September of 1993, and subsequently in a Season 2 episode of the television adaptation of ''Highlander'' and the ''[[The X-Files - Season 1|The X-Files]]'' Season 1 episode "Fallen Angel", both of which also debuted late in 1993. The weapon's first feature film appearance was in 1994's ''[[Timecop]]'', where two were seen fitted with laser sights and barrel shrouds. ''[[Timecop]]'' was filmed in British Columbia, Canada, and these custom firearms would subsequently appear in other films and television series produced in the same region during the 1990s, including the film ''[[Rumble in the Bronx]]'' and series such as ''M.A.N.T.I.S.'' and ''[[Viper (TV Series)|Viper]]''.

-There has been much speculation about this weapon, which has not yet been definitively identified. Some have opined that these custom built firearms were constructed from submachine guns with a front-mounted magazine such as the [[Kimel AP-9]] or the Feather AT-9. These weapons are of an unknown variant, but have a [[Uzi]]-style magazine, a top charging handle, and are typically fired on full-auto onscreen. While it seems possible these were custom-built specially for ''Timecop'', the numerous other appearances of the weapons (especially predating ''Timecop'') are interesting - These additional appearances could possibly be due to the Canadian armorers minimal quantity (if any) of genuine submachine guns and machine pistols (such as the [[MP5K]]) in their inventory during the early 1990s. Some variants feature a short smooth barrel with threaded base akin to a [[MAC-10]] with a short forend (akin to a [[TEC-9|TEC-9 Mini]]) - Some have longer barrels with shrouds fitted (as seen in ''Cobra'' and ''The X-Files'') and other versions (seen in later productions) appear to have larger forends and receivers with a shroud over the short barrel (compare the two images).
