One of the most disappointing things to see is the Army solicit a 9mm Luger SMG in 2018.
The 9mm Luger was introduced in 1902 folks. Several NATO partners did a lot of RDT&E on a new PDW cartridge in the 1990s.
I guess the US just doesn't care that much about terminal performance for this new SMG, assuming they want the ammunition compatible with the ill-advised new Modular Handgun, which wasn't very ambitious at all in terms of what is available with technology.
