Tony,
I enjoyed your article on PDW's. I've always been a fan of the Steyr TMP. I stumbled across a "new" platform that I thought might meet the requirements of a PDW. Are you familiar with Rock Rivers Piston Driven System?

What I believe sets this gun apart is that since it is a piston sytem, there is no need for a stock and buffer. So, it can be equipped with a folding stock making it very compact. But, as your article mentions, the 5.56 is overkill for the role. What if this gun was chambered in one of the other calibers you mentioned or (my personal favorite) .45ACP. And, if you wanted more of a rifle round, make it a .50 Beo or .458S or .450Bush or whatever. What would you have then? A guaranteed stopper out to 200 yards in a gun less than 18" (folded).
What do yo think about that setup?
