Timecop Custom Assault Pistol
This Custom Assault Pistol is an unusual customized submachine gun-style weapon that appears to have been custom made 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 in September 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 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.
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 typically fired on full-auto. 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 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).
