Interesting.  Some of the B&T airsoft stuff is just a little cheaper than the real thing and was wondering how much of a difference it really is since both seem to basically be aluminum and polymer.

100% agree

It's either Boogaloo time or it's not

Some of the time though, it’s just a random day, and you have to travel to one of your nearby shitholes. In my case, that would be Jackson, New Orleans, or Mobile.

Filling specific roles in between pistols and a legit rifle is something manufacturers have been trying to perfect for 100 or so years.


When the KAC PDW died, so did the concept of a PDW to me.

With enough money and handjobs for favors you could probably source the parts to build your own, maybe.

You can have that 100+1 of 9mm fired from a weapon with a stock, foregrip, bigger optic and suppressor in a phone book size bag. Where a full size rifle will likely be at home.

You're on Montana?  You may be right out there.

During the Floyd riots cops who couldn't or wouldn't stop the mobs had no problem hassling normal people carrying rifles.  

If anything I think what you call a "transitory" period is becoming our new normal as millions come across the border, the economy continues to be meh and we all have to pretend everything is groovy.  People arent going to take up rifles and fight back, but they will have to go to work or run errands in areas that have been ceded entirely to clown world.

I think many believe PDW/PCCs are trying to be a do-all Swiss Army knifes. Instead of a dedicated tool for an extremely specific limited use.
This is kinda where I'm at.
If it's pictured as a general purpose micro-carbine that does most of what your AR15 will do...it's very expensive, a few inches shorter, mostly as bulky and ends up in the "so what?" category.
If you believe that you can handle everything with your Roland Special analog within and beyond normal handgun engagement ranges, again, why bother?
If it's a binary Boog or Not scenario in your mind, yet again, it's hard to see the use case.

These are perfectly legitimate positions. Location, lifestyle and other conditions may moot it altogether. And supplementing your EDC by pressing your carbine into service would likely answer for most contingencies.

But if you think of it in terms of amplifying the capability of a handgun across normal and extended handgun ranges while gaining a great deal of portability and at least plausible casual concealment, then there is something to explore.
I think the ability to have the gun with you, employ it...and then instantly re-mask it to drop your profile in a dismounted scenario has real value.

Think of the Rittenhouse incident. First, the open carry of the rifle made him a target of nutjob #1, then it kept him an easily identifiable target for the follow-on idjits.
If your workplace adjacent to a riot zone, or your car was caught in some massive traffic jam caused by riots, or it was disabled in riot conditions, it might really be useful to abandon it and fade into the crowd, yet still be able to fight more effectively than with your handgun...and fade again.

This looks to be the real niche for the handgun based chassis weapons. A brief situation that may call for sudden efficient violence, followed by a rapid return to more ordinary conditions.

I believe there are two versions of the airsoft B&T chassis for the Glock, too.  I don’t see the material makeup for the more expensive version but I thought it was pretty expensive for being airsoft.  

The real version is readily available but the price has gone up for it lately, too.

Awesome! I need to grab a few of the rock mags, they are a good bit cheaper then Ruger oem’s, and from what I hear they work flawlessly.

I like the color of your bag better than mine, too.

I vote 10.X" AR pistol, in 5.56 with a Law Folder.

I does everything better in ballistics, weight, ammo availability, mag/parts availability, and absolutely destroys on cost.  

Fits in a backpack, inside 100 yards/meters, it has the ballistics, bigly, over vs 9mm, 45, 300bo, 5.7, 7.62X39, and it doesn't require permission and extra tax to own.

I have a 10.3 with a law folder.  Its better than my rattler on cost for sure, but I wouldn’t say it fits in a backpack well.  Most of my non tactical looking backpacks are too small for it.

Anyone have any thoughts about something like an SBR'd Uzi or B&T TP9 type setup for a PDW?  Both seem relatively compact, though the TP9 would win in the size/weight comparison.

"Mag in grip" seems like a good way to reduce OAL.

I like that and it would be similar to the old buckmark rifles which never did well for some reason

I’d love to hear what you have in mind if it’s something else though.

Your right except 300blk supers and x39 have better ballistics in an 8 inch barrel than 556 does in a 10 inch. And 300 blk wont leave you with loose fillings and bleeding ears when shot un suppressed

I would rather have my 8.5 inch 300 with a 5 inch can on it and deal with the extra 3 inches to no go deaf. Feed it with subs and its even less bleeding ears.

Or go 8.5 300 jakl with a can and be even way shorter.

There is one for sale on the Indiana Gun Owners forum.  I think the guy wants 10.5k.  I was tempted.

100% agree

It's either Boogaloo time or it's not

Some of the time though, it’s just a random day, and you have to travel to one of your nearby shitholes. In my case, that would be Jackson, New Orleans, or Mobile.

Filling specific roles in between pistols and a legit rifle is something manufacturers have been trying to perfect for 100 or so years.


When the KAC PDW died, so did the concept of a PDW to me.

With enough money and handjobs for favors you could probably source the parts to build your own, maybe.

I have two esstac double gap Kywis in my truck with 147gr HST.

That would 100+1 for my 2011.

You can have that 100+1 of 9mm fired from a weapon with a stock, foregrip, bigger optic and suppressor in a phone book size bag. Where a full size rifle will likely be at home.

To your point, actually more. My 9mm SBR takes glock mags and I keep two in the truck. If I did 4 it would be 165+1

It's not like I don't have one

B&T makes some cool stuff but I like their USW kit better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlbzZyFFF4w



We have a member here who turned one of the airsoft versions into a functioning Glock version (he can post it if he wants) and I saw a couple of them when I was living in the Philippines that had been converted (actually a number of airsoft guns; overseas airsoft guns are often the same or much closer to the real gun's specs than the ones we get here).


Interesting.  Some of the B&T airsoft stuff is just a little cheaper than the real thing and was wondering how much of a difference it really is since both seem to basically be aluminum and polymer.



You have to look at it and see what it fits- some airsoft stuff is closer to "real steel" as they call it than other stuff.  As for the parts, I'm not saying some of the Fortis airsoft seems to be the same as their other stuff, I'm sure it's not, and I definitely wouldn't tell you it works on a .22 AR, but it might.  I hear the CAA Roni chassis work on some of the real guns too.  That B&T Chassis for airsoft is "Glass fiber infused polymer construction"; no idea how it would hold up to a real gun but certain things I do not want near my head and a slide reciprocating towards my face in a chassis not rated for actual guns is one of them.  There are people that posts all kinds of crazy stuff on reddit though I hear.

That expensive one is listed as Zion Arms.  I didn't see the Glock model on their website but they list one for a Hi-Capa which is an airsoft 2011.  Same price and under the description:
"Constructed out of durable lightweight polymer"
https://www.zionarms.com/product-page/archwick-zion-arms-pcc-conversion-kit-for-tm-hi-capa-5-1-4-3-gbb-pistols

Archwick makes an aluminum one that is apparently sold in Canada but I don't see it anywhere in the US.  The version that I have found says "glass filled nylon" but it also includes these lines:
"Can be used with most full and mid sized licesed Glock replicas with accessory railed frame.
NOT Compatible with Polymer 80 Type Lowers, or GHK / Umarex Licensed Glock  Replicas."
https://www.arch-wick.com/bt-air-usw-g17-conv-kit

Example: https://www.evike.com/products/106449/

I don't know which airsoft models are closest to the actual Glock; I know my KSC will fit the Glock holsters I've tried as well as accessories but I ordered it from overseas and don't think they're sold here.  I would assume the Umarex is designed to be the same size as a real Glock but you never know since manufacturers make slight changes to keep them legal.

If I were to try one I'd swap on an A3 brace: https://a3tactical.com/direct-fit-brace-b-t-usw-g/
A3 does sell the real B&T chassis with a brace (OOS at the moment) but it's $500.  


ETA- Note that they say airsoft versions use a different charging method since apparently airsoft Glocks don't have a removable backplate.

As much as I like shooting pistol caliber pdw’s, IMHO, you are going to get out gunned pretty quickly if you find yourself in a situation (out and about) that favors something more than a concealed pistol.

No, it's different nowadays. Every popular rap music video will have thugs showing off their guns that they carry in satchels and a lot of them will include lyrics about how they carry it in their designer messenger bags lol. Maybe you're right, but even non-gun people I know comment on people carrying those bags and ask me if they have a gun in there.

I'm probably going to rock my CCW.  
A great PDW would be something a like a Glock chambered in 5.7 in a chassis.....with a switch.

I do have a 7.5" 300blk pistol on a Law folder that easily fits in a backpack, but it is too big to keep with me all the time.  However, it is fine to put in a backpack and keep in the vehicle if I'm going someplace very sketchy (which is rare...but I do visit the south side of Chicago from time to time).

I'll add one more thing about 300blk.  A poster here had mentioned that a specific subsonic round can defeat IIIA armor.  I know fmj/non expanding subs can defeat level II and bulletproof glass, but IIIA from a subsonic round could be a game changer IMO.

I've been looking for videos on it, but have not found it.  But I did see 9mm (supersonic) versions on it.  (Fort Scott copper spun TUI ammo). Problem is that it is not great ballistically.

I DIYed it with a Dremel engraving tool.  I bought some stencils, but couldnt make them work, so i free handed it after practicing on some scrap.  At the time the ATF just announced their receiver rule and I couldn't find an FFL that would touch a PMF.  It's not pretty, but it's legal.

I’ve got a Model A. Fits in a briefcase easily, or a laptop type bag. IMO a PDW is an excellent compromise for the intended role. I’ve got 8” 300 with a law folder and it’s handy and all but the Uzi carries more compactly.

Every time I think about adding a PDW-ish 300 BO, I think about the fact that I won't be able to use a D60 to its capacity. And this in turn, makes me quite sad.

Posting this again as I usually do in these threads. 300BO, 17” fully collapsed (from which it will fire).

I know a lot of you think it is too short for .556, but I don’t have to add a caliber I don’t already have.  Add sights/optic of your choice.

Fits in Jansport backpack.

Put whatever lower on it you want, same mags and ammo you already have.

No. Absolutely not. Awful ballistics and brain damage with every trigger pull.

I’ll disagree with a few others as I think there definitely will be a transitory period of a year or more.
Hopefully this is all just talk and we never have to experience it

If anything I think what you call a “transitory” period is becoming our new normal as millions come across the border, the economy continues to be meh and we all have to pretend everything is groovy.  People arent going to take up rifles and fight back, but they will have to go to work or run errands in areas that have been ceded entirely to clown world.

While that would be nice to have some transition time, I think once shit starts going south it will be all at once. I have AK74SU in 5.45, and MP5K I just don’t see either one of them with me do to the simple fact they just don’t get shot much. My truck rifle is a 12.5” AR, and the side by side sports a 11.5”.

When I go coyote or other type of varmint hunting it’s a 14.5”, hell I rarely even shoot my 16” much and it’s only around as it can become a truck travel rifle and not have to worry about local, or state laws tripping you up.

I was going to post similar to this, but I’ll add Facebook has allot of pictures of backpacks as well being used to carry discreet. Rappers, thugs and social media have changed the game.
