Posted May 25, 200817 yr So I was doing some research on the HK MP7 PDW and how it uses a special pistol caliber round that hits with the same power as 5.56 mm armor piercing. The objective being to create a PDW capable of defeating modern body armor while remaining concealable (as opposed to "hey is that an m82 Barrett in your pocket our are you just happy to see me?") Anyhoo, I was linked to the P90 as its direct competitor and apparently it uses some similar ammunition. Point being, much as the P90 is broken-ass overpowered in COD 4, it seems to be a fairly accurate depiction of its real life ass-kickery. Dang.
May 25, 200817 yr you think the p90's badass, check out the Kriss Super V. http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg96-e.htm .45ACP 1100 Rpm's only issue i see is the 28 round clip. that'll be fixed soon enough i'm sure

May 25, 200817 yr Author That's wicked, but the .45 ACP is a slow velocity round (if I recall correctly... too lazy to research), body armor would stop it pretty easily. The p90 and mp7 use an armor piercing round. Still... .45 at 1100 rpm sounds a like a wet dream come true. Thanks for the linkage Imd definately going to check this one out. BTW have you seen the new Bushmaster/Magpul Masada assault rifle... *drool*. *EDIT* Yeah I just checked out the specs, the .45ACP is less then half as fast as the P90's ss190 round. Much more useful against unarmored targets though.
May 25, 200817 yr I'm no gun expert, but having a large-calibre weapon in CQC sounds like it would be a very dangerous thing... Something about having a bullet go through your target and the wall behind him and maybe the wall beyond that just doesn't sound logical to me.
May 25, 200817 yr Author the armor piercing rounds are actually smaller caliber than a .45 ACP. Not only that but depending on the make, the .45 will mushroom and break on impact. The whole idea behind the AP PDW though is that body armor may be the real difference in CQC hence necessitating a different type of round than the traditional manstopper

It is so you can kill two or three birds with one stone. The P90 is overpowered in real life, so they just did the same for COD.
