In the field of PDWs the Magpul PDR seems to me to have the most potential- the biggest thing going for it, apart from its compact size, is that it is chambered for 5.56mm. Given that a weapon like this is likely to be fielded by military units, a common calibre would appear to be essential. After all, drivers, etc may have to fight alongside regular troops in combat- situations where they will be best served being able to exchange ammunition- and despite the 5.56mm's reputation as being a poodle-shooter it's a major step up from micro-calibre PDWs on offer from other firms. Magpul now have the Masada/ACR, the Massoud, the very cool FMG9 and the PDR to their name. Innovative work- a firm I really hope makes it into the major leagues. Surely there's a government contract somewhere in their future?
Anyway, here's a video of the PDR.
