PDW Idea?
So I've recently been eyeballing the .300 blackout cartrige (and by extension AAC's Honey Badger PDW). I had a picture of the MP5SD open right next to it, and brainwaves happened. It occurred to me that one could build something akin to an oversize MP5SD on an HK33/53 (the 5.56) receiver (for those who do not know, the .300 blackout cartridge is basically a 5.56 casing with a .30 caliber bullet stuck in it; so all your 5.56 mags and bolts and what-have-you still work). That sounds totally awesome to my not-gunsmith brain, but is there any reason why that would not be a good idea? Come to think of it, is there any precedent for having an integrally suppressed HK rifle chambered in a full rifle caliber? AAC in their blog compares an AR chambered in .300 blackout against the "standard" of the MP5SD, I thought it would be interesting if the standard got updated :wink:
Thanks,

I think you mean PDW.
Examples include the MP7, FN P90 (chambered for the 5.7), and pistol configured ARs.

So here I am trying to blunder my way through research trying to figure out if this is possible and someone smarter than I is already working on it. WINSAUCE!! If you can get one built and put an integral suppressor on it MP5SD style, you can count me in for one!

Well I gotta tell you ... I'm really liking this new 22TCM cartridge. I'm thinkin' this might be a real hard hitting lil round which might replace my 7.62x25 project (since all the cheap ammo is gone anyway)

Shattered - What's the parent cartridge & what platform are you shooting it in?

"They" say it's a necked down 9mm... I dunno about that, looks a bit long to have come from a 9mm... 38 Super, maybe. Someone else mentioned a cut down 223... meybe. It's being offered in a 1911 type WITH a 9mm setup as well. I'd like to see it in a Glock and what I have in mind is making a barrel (if I can find a reamer) for one of these useless 40 cal MP5 type frames I have lying around here.

It's a 5.56 with a OAL of .38 super. Would that fit in an MP5 mag or would it have to be a .40 platform? Other than the barrel you could use everything else? What say you?

I really don't know much about this ammo, other than it's rated at 2000/2100 fps... and can set off Tannerite. Be able to say more when I get ahold of a box of this stuff.
That's how it usually starts for me, ya know. I end up picking brass up, then later, get dies to load it... and then it's just sitting around. Then I buy something to shoot it.

When I read this, dark storm clouds parted, rays of light shined down on my laptop, and I heard Sarah MacLachlan singing.
Then I wept...

I'm resurrecting this thread. Joe, any update? Are we talking a 53 or 93 length or both?

It's beginning to sound a little like the British .224 Boz ! Care to chime in Straightgrain?
