National Army - Looking for SubMachineGun

[RicInOR]

The U.S. Army is Looking for Its First New Submachine Gun Since WWII

In a surprise move, the U.S. Army is asking industry for ideas for a new submachine gun. The last time the Army adopted a submachine gun was in 1943. It's not clear why the Army wants a new subgun

A 9-millimeter submachine gun that was easy to carry, had less recoil, and could be used in self-defense would be desirable for troops infrequently exposed to combat. Nine millimeter also means the SCW would use the same ammunition as the new M17 Modular Handgun System.

I'd like and m3 or a Sten

It should be a 9mm grease gun but they'll pick some HK at $2000 a piece. That's how we roll any more.

Wow the M3 in 9mm problem solved.

The Kriss Vector comes in 9mm now.

 

[SA Shooter]

The Kriss Vector also comes in .45 & 10MM. I think between those three choices they'd be able to make a decision.

My CRB has proven to be extremely reliable and accurate with ball and SJHP rounds.

Every time I hear about our government buying something for the military, I always think of the golden rule for subcontractors.

You get to pick two. Cheap, Fast or Good.

Kinda wonder what for. In the age of easily acquired body armor, you'd think they'd stick to something that could defeat that... like a shorty in 300 BLK.

It's gonna be the Sig MPX. Already have a factory here making them, and it slots in the easiest with the newly adopted Sig pistol.

That's called an Uzi.

Not the same. Uzis are a generation more complex

Will_White gets it.

We already have the CAR-16!!! It's been in the Inventory since the 70s. And ya, it will go through body armor.

If it's not a MP-5 just don't even try.

^This.

Wow. It's been a lot of years ago. I went to a HK seminar while I was in the Army, presented to my ordnance unit. They had us give an evaluation of everything we shot, including their little submachine gun. So it's taken nearly 40 years, but maybe HK will still be courting the Army?

mpx or cz scorpion

 

[jbett98]

High Point 9mm SBR carbine with an auto sear. Lifetime warranty. The Army gotta love that.

 

[SIG34]

HK MP7!!!!

 

[titsonritz]

Isn't the MP5 still king of subguns? That is the route I'd want to go.

Mp7 does everything mp5 does but better in a smaller package.
