I see a picture of the PSK-3 in Run and Gun with a folding stock but no mention in the crunch about it.

What's your take, folding stock or no folding stock?

Well, since it's called "collapsible" and has the price to justify a folding stock, sure.

The picture is an artist's rendition.
There are several pictures that don't match the thing they represent in 5e.
So no IMHO.

that's a folding stock on that ingram smartgun.

I hear you re: the curtains not matching the drapes or whatever.

the difference here is that the PSK "folds" down to facilitate concealment.
It's clear in the image the stock is what folds and holds the magazine (which must be removed to fold, per the fluff).

So while I can see a case to be made either way I think we'll house-rule an integral folding stock at a our table.

Edit: it would seem like the rendering is based off the Magpull folding SMG while the description is closer to a KB-ST GNOM.
shrug.

It might have a long 'back end', but that doesn't mean its a functional stock.

Pictures, while cool, are never a good choice for basing a weapon off of. For one, a picture is drawn by an artist, not by a weaponsmith... thus while it may 'look cool', it probably wouldn't function...

I know of several over the years that structurally would not work at all. But the picture looks cool...
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Remember: You can't fix Stupid. But you can beat on it with a 2x4 until it smartens up! Or dies.

Yar the magpul, which it's clearly based off of, does have a functional stock per the youtube videos ;-)

Personally the written description seems closer to KB-ST GNOM.

But yeah I hear ye.

We house-ruled it.
