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 gun first appeared in a second season episode of the Highlander TV series and the The X-Files first-season episode "Fallen Angel", both of which debuted late in 1993, and would subsequently and most notably appear in the 1994 film Timecop, which was the first feature film in which the weapons appeared. There has been much speculation about this weapon, which has not yet been definitively identified. The speculation is that these weapons were custom made because similar weapons such as the MP5K were unable to be imported into the U.S. as a result of the Assault Weapon Ban of 1994. 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. 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 The X-Files, M.A.N.T.I.S., and Viper. These weapons are of an unknown variant, but have a SMG-style magazine and a top charging handle. Some variants feature a short smooth barrel and forend akin to a TEC-9 Mini (which would later be fitted with a shroud over the short barrel - compare the two images), others featured a lengthened barrel with shroud.
