PDW’s have their place and that is all this Kriss is IMHO. Might be a great central america or SE Asia urban rig but seems every other bad guy is clad in kevlar these days.....
I am fond of the new H&K 416 version of the M4 carbine . Add the Knight Armament Corps 9 inch version of the M203 and it’s perfect package for LIC missions and small unit ops IMHO.
I’d still snag a old simple MAC-10 w/ a can or a HK UMP vs this KRISS given the choice.
Right now my primary gear is a M1A and a 1911A1.....Old school , proven and reliable for my local needs. Different environments and regions require different tools. One should not be “set” on their choices and train and equip for those arenas they will have to work in.
But ya’ll already know that I’m sure.....;o)
I have to agree with you. (not that my opinion counts for much ;o)
It seems to me these days if you have need of “full auto” you also have need of “armor piercing.”
One without the other is like taking a Terzuola knife to a gunfight.
Add a 15 or 22-round extended magazine, and the M1911 can become a pretty fair PDW on its own, as a few of the US MilGroup advisors in ElSalvador concluded after congress forbade their carry of rifles. 1930s gangsters like Dillinger and Baby-face Nelson sometimes added a Thompson front grip and compensator and, with practice, found the combinastion to be a useful, deadly and very concealable PDW.
Funny thing: in my former home state of Tennessee, carry of a loaded or uncased rifle or shotgun in one's vehicle was a no-no. But a couple of interesting pistol adaptations that offered a little more than the average handgun were okay, and legal.
