I wanted the shortest possible length without resorting to folding stocks or proprietary pdw stocks. I get that 5.56 going 2000 fps isn't going to be the most effective man stopper but 30 of that is going to have more range than 15 9mm. For a niche weapon I think it can be very useful. This is all speculation until I get mine together and run it through its paces. As to the blast and flash I'm going to be using a B.E. Meyers 249 flash hider. If it doesn't work as I want it is as easy as a 10.5" barrel swap.
But 30 9mm JHP in a MP5 / Scorpion / MPX would probably be a lot more practical and effective, especially considering the muzzle blast and noise.
