Smith & Wesson's M&P FPC is a semi-automatic 10mm carbine that folds in half for storage. With a 16.25-inch threaded barrel it measures 30.75 inches unfolded and weighs 6.5 pounds, and it feeds from 15-round magazines; three come with the rifle, and the stock has a compartment that stores spares. The grip and trigger follow the M&P pistol pattern, four interchangeable grip inserts tune the fit, M-LOK slots take accessories and a top rail accepts an optic. Standard sights are fitted; there is no manual safety, only the trigger blade.

The FPC fills the truck-gun and home-defense role for North Carolina owners who already run a 10mm pistol, since the carbine shares their ammunition and the folding stock drops into a small bag. Rifles are legal during the state's gun deer season alongside shotguns and handguns, and the threaded muzzle and optic rail leave room for the setup a hunter prefers, though most buyers will use it on the range and keep it folded in a pack.
