Wow, I didn't know that our US troops use PPSH as their primary weapon instead of M4 or M16, but it is interesting.

I don't think it is a common practice There could not be left PPSHs enough for it, PPSh is still rarity in Middle East region.

The topic weapon will probably end up being something of a technology demo from which more practical weapons will be produced. Just my guess...

That Super V might find a small market in police SWAT teams and high level bodyguard services who would like a low recoil submachine gun, but I doubt it will catch on with the military because of all those small moving parts which would probably be difficult to maintain.

I don't think there is chance in a foreseeable future to make a better SMG than HK MP-5 without the principally new elements such as cartridges without shells.

These days much of the work is close quarters, or house clearing were you need a compact weapon with hitting power. How many combats situations has there been in recent years where you are fighting in town and house to house.
