PDR-W Prototype

Personal Defense Rifle - Western Prototype
The PDR-W Prototype is a weapon designed by AccuTech Precision's western design lab for vehicle crews and security guard or police purposes. It fires a smaller cartridge than most rifles and features a unique design of having the magazine serve as the grip of the firearm. The weapon has not seen service with any country so far and has not even passed the final design phase. However the weapon has shown promising ballistics with the new round and the simple construction and lightweight design have led to it being ergonomically favoured over other weapons in testing.

Current Phase Design
The PDR-W features very odd proportions for a personal firearm. Notice that it only has one thing jutting out the bottom of the receiver, that's because the magazine well doubles as the handle. This design is used to promote intuitive reloading, making the wielder more efficient and faster at changing magazines. The weapon fires the powerful but small 4.55x15mm cartridge, a new type of ammunition being developed and tested just for this weapon. The gun features a circular sling mount in the buttstock, a vented handguard to dispel the excess heat generated from the experimental round and a muzzle brake for improved controllability from the extremely short barrel. The weapon is painted in yellow to denote it's prototype status.

Future
The future of this prototype is uncertain, we here at AccuTech wish for this project to be funded by a nation in need of advanced weaponry in this modern era of defense with ever evolving battlefields. This particular weapon is just about ready and only needs a contract to get into production. Additional variants may be made on request after the first order is cast.
