As many of you know I am not a big fan of PDW's. Mainly since the NATO PDW requirement mandates a round that fits in both a handgun and long arm. The rounds are penetration driven with no thought to terminal performance, and given the contraints of having a handgun, the round is a small round with little effect unless the CNS (central nervous system) is targeted.
Belgian SF and several North American LE departments have had poor performance from the FN P90 and its 5.7x28 round, and others with the Hk MP-7 4.6x30 round.
KAC was contracted to design a round that had the desire to see M4A1 w/ M855 performance at 300m in a much smaller package.
Many units use Hk MP-5 or MP-5K SMG's in 9mm when they desire a small packages, but other than increased accuracy it is still a big pistol.
Enter the 6x35mm TSWG cartridge, and the KAC PDW.
M16FOW handling manual of arms, good ammunition performance, in a small package.
Compared to a 11.5"
Under a garment
Rocking out.
Several folks including myself used the Sig552 for roles, however different muscle memory, poor terminal performance with the 5.56mm round in a 7.5" barrel (note Sig claims 9" bbl but that includes the integral flashhider) and general poor platform performance resulted in an effectual weapon. Not we have a specific platform that gives users a lot of increased performance.
