The Jawa blaster was based on an Enfield rifle with a can on the end. The Stormtrooper blaster was a bit more tacticool, using the Sterling as its base.
The Sig ACP might actually harken back to the Battlestar Galactica blaster (the original 1970s series).
But, speaking of Battlestar Galactica, the reimagined 2004 series used pistols that reminded me a lot of the Sig p290 with laser attached, and the SP2022 with laser.
yeah, got too much time on my hands today. But the Sig ACP is still silliness IMHO.

It sold!
This thing seriously lasted a couple days in our gun shop and then someone decided they needed to own this thing.

That's odd as most of the guns used were just regular factory gun with the exception of the Season 1 Colonial handgun (S&W 686)wojownik said:
patterned after Decker's gun in Blade Runner.
The most frequently seen guns on BSG was the FN FivesevenN and the Beretta CX4 Storm

For the win.
And now I have to explain my random outburst of laughter at work.
It could use a muzzle brake, though, don't you think?
Wojo, the muzzle looks more like the Jawa blaster to me, about the same diameter. But I guess overall it looks more like a stormtrooper weapon.
9mm, you left out the COP deringer used in one or two episodes. I don't know enough about revolvers to tell what that is, but IMFDB has it listed as a 686:
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica#Colonial_Handgun_.28Smith_.26_Wesson_Model_686.29
The fiveseven's also had the grenade launcher attached to the rail. I personally find it interesting that even though their primary enemy is a bunch of robots, they still had weapons designed for use on humans. I can understand it in Terminator since the war with the machines was after most of society was destroyed. In the case of BSG, they had their technology based around fighting machines, and should have had weapons better designed for that task.

That's not a stock. It's a single point sling, which will help a lot in stabilizing the weapon. Same principle as the buffer-less RRA AR pistols.
Still, I agree it's a ridiculous accessory. Especially since it makes it so difficult to clear a malfunction. It's definitely for the Mall Ninja crowd. Sad that Sig is catering to that clientele.

Once again, some of you guys need to open your eyes and start seeing things in Title 2.

Looks like something those big heads on son of guns would come up with.

Your eyes are still shut. Adding a stock to a SIG pistol housed in an ACP isn't illegal. Doing so without a tax stamp is illegal. Do you truly believe that a 9mm pistol is just as effective of a weapon as a 9mm SBR?
Title 2 is the purpose of this thing, not Title 1.

Never said it was. Just pointless, goofy, and unnecessarily expensive.
Yes.
Let me qualify that.
In this case, it isn't really a SBR (unless you're the ATF).
It's simply a pistol with a stock. (And a bunch of pointless, goofy rails.)
Whoop-de-do.
(BTW, in the OP's photo, isn't even a stock, it's just a place to mount a sling and a red dot (and a laser, and a bayonet, and a bottle opener...). How does that make it more effective?)
Nah, it's just these tactical operator assault sunglasses are so damn dark....

Not sure your eyes are open to what people here are saying. Pretty expensive and silly route to go to accomplish what you are saying

It looks like they got the idea from the Hera-Arms Triarii. If you want one of these with a stock, it already exists.
http://www.hera-arms.com/triarii#/triarii/
Here is the team captain of the German Walther shooting team putting rounds through a P99 in the Triarii:

There is also another one of these made by CAA called the RONI:
http://www.caatactical.com/viewCategory.asp?catID=376
And a company video showing it in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpNA-TZnMC4
Not very practical IMO, but they look like fun. That being said, I'm not getting one of these for a pistol without a stock, or going through the paperwork to get one with a stock.

I know it's splitting hairs but, He said "an abomination" not that it "was Abomination" and I think the capital is warranted.

They have a five minute video about it on their website describing it. It works with ANY pistol that has an under the barrel rail. Sigs as well as non Sigs. They have the Uzi type sling as well as a folding stock. Yes special paperwork. I don't want one but it doesn't seem as crazy as I initially thought.

I think for LE purposes it could have some use for those that want something with a buttstock but have something concealable. Other than that I don't see a use but since when does something in the gun world need a use to exist?

The video is really only good for a laugh if you ask me. They are trying so hard to sell you on a product that is so pointless!
Even with a should stock added the ACP doesn't improve the performance of the gun it's being used on, if anything it takes away from the gun's performance and definitely takes away from your guns reliability because you still have no easy way to gain access to the slide to clear a malfunction, the ACP isn't an enhancement it's a liability!
