Thanks for the compliments about my shop and our business. I appreciate it.
PSD is the platform that LWRC makes, and it's targeted toward a specific job. I'm pretty sure I know the job descriptions and what the mission is.
Mr. Magic, you called someone, and in particular, ME, an idiot. Don't start backpedaling now.
Markm, Good job trying to marginalize my comment with the pellet gun comment. 5.56 and 7.5-8 inch barrel AR's are being used RIGHT NOW in the fight. My point is that even though it is not optimal, it is lethal. Pellet gun?? Not so much.
Agreed, 5.56 is less than ideal from a barrel that short. There are other advantages to running an AR platform with a barrel that short, such as weapons manipulations, commonality in parts and accessories, and round availability.
Are there other guns that might be better?? Maybe. Do any of you own and work with a multitude of weapons of that ilk?? Any of the posters in this thread done any side by side comparisons of a 7.5-8 inch AR, MP5, KAC PDW, AAC Blackout?? Ease of concealment?? Terminal ballistics?? Accuracy at intended ranges?? Ability to use in vehicles?? Anyone?? ANYONE?? Or is this just the "I read some shit on a forum once" crowd??
If the OP, or anyone, wants to build a gun that short, then give him advice, or some logical advantages or disadvantages. Otherwise you're just wasting everyone's time.
