Thanks Doc I missed that post. Would the Black Hills load with the Barnes bullet be considered barrier blind?
Check the second paragraph: http://m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=19881
False. At 210 yards, Hornady 5.56 TAP fired from a 7.5" barrel is going to have a retained velocity that is more than 600 fps less than the same load fired from a 20" barrel.

does it drastically change the usefulness and performance if a 7.5" sbr uses 7.62 x 39 ammo? from the little i have been able to read and understand it seems that 7.62 x 39 ammo is a better performer than 5.56 ammo at short distances < 200yds. now i may be completely wrong, but i figured if anyone could set me straight it would be the people on this forum. thanks for reading and replying to this post.
You are wrong.

Let's not forget the SCAR PDW, and HK416 PDW.
There is a market among military and LEO for super short 5.56 weapons. I don't think there is anything to gain by going so short, personally.
Logistically, it does make sense to use a common weapon platform and ammo for PDW's, instead of an PS90, KAC PDW and HK MP7. These guns and the associated ammo are very expensive, and don't have a support pipeline in place, in the same way an HK416 PDW would.
Then again, does a 5.56 PDW make more sense than an MK18, Colt Commando, HK416 D10RS or CQC SCAR? I say no.

Badly wishing KAC would release their PWD on a lower with XCR/ACR/Bushmaster ambi features... that could be a game-changer in police work, if it works as advertised.
