Solution in search of a problem.

It may get LE buys and civilian BRD buys, but no Military is going to buy this; why?

When SHTF the military expects every troop to at least be a semi-trained rifleman, and as such they need a proper rifle (or carbine).

EVERY PDW concept to date that approachs SMG levels of performance has failed. And a extremely SBR 556 is no different.

HK PDW (MP5K) - no big adoptors for second line troops

P90 - fail

MP7 - fail

Various full auto pistols have also failed to be adopted as PDW's

Cool weapon, but a military will never go to issuing both rifles, carbines and PDW's.

12.5 inch barrel is hardly "extremely SBR."

I'm not saying the mil will buy it, but this PDW has interested me much more than any other new firearm I've seen.

I am going to have to agree on that. I fthis makes it to market I will pony up for the tax stamp to get a PDR as an SBR. I think it would be the perfect nightstand companion.

96Ag

+1

SCAR, Masada, etc... just more of the same. The PDR however really does something no other gun does. I'll be first in line.

If they can address the recoil, muzzle flash, and velocity issues of an SBR 5.56x45mm rifles with the PDR. I'm sold.
