Research notes
Designed as a small hunting/sport shooting rifle, but also with an eye to becoming a semi-auto or full auto PDW (Personal Defense Weapon). On the website it is claimed that it is able to penetrate “steel board” at 10m, but no mention is made of the thickness of the steel plate, it might actually refer to standard body armor, especially if loaded with AP type bullets like the 4.6x30 or even the 5.7mm P-90. The light weight would make an ideal low recoil carry gun.
