Hey, I'd settle for an M-79 with a box car load of ammo!

Fisheye is up on his knees now and has torn away the canopy and space blanket that have covered him until this point. In one hand he is holding a long device a couple of inches in diameter, which is the source of the whirring noise. It is a circular bundle of parallel tubes about pencil-sized and a couple of feet long, like a miniaturized Gatling gun. It whirs around so quickly that the individual tubes are difficult to make out; when it is operating, it is in fact ghostly and transparent because of this rapid motion, a glittering, translucent cloud jutting out of Fisheye's arm. The device is attached to a wrist-thick bundle of black tubes and cables that snake down into the large suitcase, which lies open on the bottom of the raft. The suitcase has a built-in color monitor screen with graphics giving information about the status of this weapons system: how much ammo is left, the status of various subsystems. Hiro just gets a quick glimpse at it before all of the ammunition on board Bruce Lee's ship begins to explode.
"See, I told you they'd listen to Reason," Fisheye says, shutting down the whirling gun.
Now Hiro sees a nameplate tacked onto the control panel.

How about modern high quality reproductions of a P08 Luger and a Mauser 712, with integrally suppressed bull barrel and detachable stock.
Nice! After the recoil severs your hand, it even cauterizes the stump! IWB carry concealment would be challenging, though...
Close... on an ARThough the house is still, I cannot sleep. (Combination of insomnia, old injuries flaring, and another day of blizzard of technical issues.) So wackiness mused upon long ago:
Imagine an M203, shrunk way down, chambered for the Aquila 12-gauge mini-shells, and mounted under a full-sized, .45 ACP or 10㎜ automatic pistol. For breaching or interpersonal issues. Sort of a LeMat, circa 2021. (giggle)
5.7 Johnson?Super-duper small, Mauser-action in 5.7㎜. The 21 Century version of the Destroyer carbine produced in 9㎜ Largo.
