New submachine gun could shake up the firearms world

I don't think they'll find too many buyers unless they make the barrel longer (it's tiny considering the size of the firearm) and give it a nice solid stock.

My personal favorite "recoilless" gun is the Ultimax 100, a 5.56x45mm LMG with the constant recoil system.
 
It's a good idea to shift the weight down and away from the shooter, no doubt. However, there are a lot of moving parts which probably means that the service life isnt going to be great (lots of wear and tear) and also how is the assem/disassem going to work and cleaning! Its a great idea but like the first xbox I think there is going to be more then a few faults with this new design when it's tested. Just my opinion for what its worth :cheers:
 
I'm not exactly impressed by the ergonomics of it. Bulky, needs a longer barrel and an actual stock. Looks like lots of moving parts to fail.
 
How do You like tuned up PPSh-1941? :mrgreen:
It could be quite deadly in CQB.

I never thought the PPSH would come back. Devistating weapon in CQC, but it needs a better stock and needs to be given the black metal look like the MP5, with a collapsing stock.

I'm sure that particular specimen was a "gift" from an insurgent, and the troops got bored and decided to dress it up for the camera :D

Maybe. Maybe also this one is seen already:

However, it is known that certain number of PPSh type SMGs were used by Afghan mujahadeens during the Soviet invasion 1979-1989.
 
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.
