Notes:
The model 454 submachinegun was introduced as a direct response to the Excellent Military Technologies MP-9 Folding SMG, and is generally regarded as a poor copy. Whereas the MP-9 was designed as a covert weapon for security details, bodyguards and the like and is a purpose built weapons, The Model 454 is a standard configuration SMG designed to fold up. The weapon save only a minor amount of space when collapsed, and it's existence is likely to be a marketing ploy to counter the favorable press received by the MilTech weapon.
Still, the model 454 has sold reasonably well, and is likely to be encountered in the hands of troops requiring compact weapons (e.g. vehicle crews and airborne troops).
