PDWs are weapons that are using the new sub-carbine sized ammo(5,56x30, 5.7x28, 4,6x30...) that they are trying to replace SMGs with. My take on the article I read was that DHS was going purchase 7000 AR pattern PDWs to either replace or supplement their inventory of HK UMP40s.

Ok, sometimes it is hard reading through the static of the reporters ignorance.

Personally I prefer a PDW to an SMG.

Armed Police Officer Stops School Shooting in Georgia

Yesterday a school shooting was quickly stopped before it escalated further thanks to an armed guard being on campus.

A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14-year-old in the neck before an armed officer working at the school was able to get the gun away, police said.

Multiple shots were fired in the courtyard of Price Middle School just south of downtown around 1:50 p.m. and the one boy was hit, Atlanta Police Chief George Turner said. In the aftermath, a teacher received minor cuts, he said.
