The PDW with the longer bbl on the other site looks alot like what I'm imagining the XCR-M will look like with more of the gas tube exposed (other than the fact that the handguard is WAY shorter obviously).
On the PDW, it doesn't look right...but on the M it might give it an M96 look.
I think I am going to get one of these. 9" 5.56 at first, maybe follow it up with a 6.8. The folding stock and shorter barrel will make it far more compact at its smallest state than my 10.5" AR.
I have no idea what the final "M" will look like but I don't mind the gas tube exposed,the M is going to be heavy enough without having a bunch of extra rail/forend to make it even more so.I know a little extra aluminum isn't going to make a huge difference,but you don't want a pig either.The development mock-up pics did show the M with the gas tube exposed.I think once they get rolling on the M they could do a carbine length forend for the 16 inch barrels and a rifle length forend for those who don't care for the exposed tube look. :2cents:
I don't see why the PDW wouldn't work with as 16" barrel as long as you used the standard oprod and gas tub,in fact I had thought of it myself.
