Submachine guns such as the M3 grease gun and the Thompson served our military troops well in World War II and Korea. Fast forward M4 carbines have been the main service weapons.
Recently, the U.S. Army have decided to contract the Swiss defense contractor (Brugger and Thomet) $2.5 million dollars for the new APC9K submachine gun. There are 350 guns in the books as purchased with options to another thousand.

The U.S. Army have been looking for something to replace the Heckler & Koch 9mm MP5. Decisions was based on arming certain personnel that would needed something more small and maneuverable but with greater lethality than a pistol while operating in tight conditions than a rifle or carbine.
Other big manufactures such as Beretta, Colt, Heckler & Koch, and SIG Sauer have competed for this contract, until Brugger and Thomet won the contract. Read the rest of U.S. Army gets APC9K.

“instead of the old 1919Awhatever that was heavier, more complex and our troops hated it.”

I know. I humped the M-60 for a bit back in the day and I hated it, too.

Enjoy your day.

“Dunbass Geneva convention prohibits it.”

It’s The Hague Convention and we never signed onto it. Screw them. Let them howl. Give our guys the proper tools for the job. Period.

“FN FAL rocks.”

It does indeed. And they’re already out there. No need to reinvent the freaking wheel already. Hell, go back to the AR-10 if you’re worried about keeping the controls the same. That’s how Stoner designed it. The man knew what he was doing.

I carried one of those in the ‘90 to ‘91 war.
It was belt fed.

I had no idea the war was over LOL

[Windflier]

These guys beg to differ.

Ah yes, those guys.

Watch 99 other videos about the SCAR, and 99% of the total will be positive reviews. Except those guys.

They're the 1%.

[MrEdd]

Technically its not.
As far as I know, the Senate has never ratified an armistice.

[mylife]

Let the Senate pontificate, and navel gaze.
