(note the number of complaints recently about the hitting power of the M-16 family - I haven't heard a single one from a UK based soldier, who will have been using a full length weapon), and with PDW derivatives it may well not happen at all. This drastically reduces the wounding potential of the round, which is MUCH more critical than any accuracy limits.


But most of them are issued the SA80A2, not the M-16 or M-4.

Have the SAS/SBS ever complained about they're Dimarco C-7s?

As for PDWs there is the DPMS Kitty Kat PDW, and the Bushmaster Carbon 15 pistol.

Bushmaster Carbon 15:


PDWs are not just for lower ranked personnel far behind the frontline, professionals like SWAT, and SF use PDWs.
