Gee John sorry I don't fit your mould.

But I have to point out that in spite of your best experiences in 
Kosovo, there are privates that do this and there are NCOs that 
aren't up to par. The general gist is that the PDW is meant to be 
compact and replace the need for pistols and full length rifles for 
the REMFs.

The PDW concept also work great for Armor crew given their typically 
compact enclosures they run around it. Ballistics folks seem to think 
that something along the lines of 5.7x28mm is far better than a M3 
Grease gun or some other pistol based cartridge that has trouble 
penetrating a PASGT vest, let alone hard cover.
