	SMALL PACKAGES, BIG BANG: Personal Defense Weapons
		The SCAMP was designed to provide pilots, aircraft crews, armored vehicle personnel, and support/rear-line combat troops with a compact, lightweight, ergonomic, and controllable select-fire high-capacity weapons package that would allow them to either escape and evade enemy soldiers armed with assault rifles, or hold these enemy forces off until reinforcements or air support/air evac arrived.
		Perhaps the greatest competition for the FN P90 PDW are the new breed of 5.56x45mm subcarbines, which have recently risen to prominence in Special Operations (SPECOPS)/Special Warfare (SPECWAR), LE SWAT, and executive protection/military PSD (Personal Security Detachment) circles.
		With the 5.56mm weapons, in addition to the standard green tip 62 grain NATO M855/SS109 FMJ ball round (with compound steel penetrator/lead core), an operator has the option of transitioning to the fl-tip M995 62gr FMJBT AP (Armor-Piercing) round, which employs a tungsten carbide penetrator core.

		A personal weapon is a weapon that can be carried and employed by a single person, although their use may be restricted to specialist members of attack or defense teams.
		Any weapon modified or created in a field expedient manner so as to explode, causing damage to personnel or materiel, By definition, it has been altered to detonate when it should not, thus a mine or hand grenade is not an IED.
		This is not strictly a personal weapon as it is operated by a team of two — a loader and a sighter-operator.

	Selecting a handgun for concealed carry
		The paradox of the concealed personal defense weapon is that it is something you hope you will never have to use for its intended purpose, but with which you must achieve a level of mastery and familiarity comparable to the other tools you use to survive and get through your day.
		Your personal defense weapon should be of sturdy construction and be able to withstand heavy use and rough handling.
		Your personal defense weapon should be accurate enough to consistently hit a target the size of a saucer at 10 yards quickly.

	The "Heckler & Koch" MP-7 Submachine Gun
		The Personal Defense Weapons are intended for a supply or a secondary subdivision soldiers, which needed no assault or automatic rifle, but earlier were armed with pistols or submachine guns.
		The new weapon was developed conventionally to submachine gun's traditions with a compact dimensions.
		Weapon is easy to operate and to fire from one hand as it is well balanced.

	Modern Firearms - Heckler - Koch HK MP7 submachine gun / personal defense weapon (PDW)
		The PDW are intended, as name implies, to be a defensive sidearm for second-line troops, vehicle crews and other military personnel who normally not issued with assault rifles.
		The first firearm, intended as "the new age PDW" and offered in that class was Belgian-made FN P90, and it had special low-impulse, high-velocity ammunition, capable of penetration of current military body armor and helmets at ranges of 100 meters and beyond, while being much smaller and lighter, than assault rifle.
		The action of the MP7A1 is somewhat unusual for weapon of such small size, since it is gas operated, rotating bolt design, which strongly resembles the action of the HK G36 assault rifle, suitably scaled down.

		The M9 is carried by crew-served weapon crewmen and by others who have a personal defense requirement, such as law enforcement personnel and aviators.
		This weapon can have the hammer lowered from the cocked, "ready to fire," position to the uncocked position without activating the trigger by placing the thumb safety on the "on" position.

	The psychology of self defense and the force continuum
		The use of a defensive firearm is not an appropriate response to the vast majority of threats, hurts and insults we receive.
		This is the paradox of the concealed personal defense weapon: we equip, train and prepare ourselves and then we must make every effort to avoid employing it.
		The obvious benefits of acquiring an empty hand technique include having an effective mode of self defense for those times and places in which you absolutely cannot carry a gun, and it provides you with an alternative to lethal force in situations where a lower level of force would be sufficient to handle the situation.

		Unlike the bolt group of the M4, that of the PDW is kin to the Kalashnikov.
		There are three, one for the hammer and one for the trigger, as in the M16, but in the PDW there is an additional pin for the auto sear, and this arrangement appears to be similar to that of the FN-FAL, due to the PDW's very short bolt carrier.
		The 6x35mm PDW cartridge is based on a modified.221 Fireball case, which itself is a shortened derivative of the.223 case.

	Fabrique National P90 Personal Defense Weapon
		This unique weapon was developed by FN Herstal (originally, and perhaps better, known as Fabrique National of Liege) as a result of a very careful analysis of weapons usage in modern armies.
		The other seven-eighths are troops who serve other weapons - artillery, rockets or tanks, for example - or are service, communication or supply troops; none of these expect to use a rifle as their primary job, but they need a weapon for self-defense should the gun position be attacked or the ration column ambushed.
		A low-recoil weapon with a reasonable self-defense range and sufficient power to defeat body armor was required, one which was simple and instinctive in its use.

	Have Gun. Will Carry
		When you make the decision to arm yourself with a defensive pistol, one of the first psychological bridges you have to cross is when and how much to carry the pistol.
		The ideal form of practice for most civilians is the IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) style of tactical pistol matches in which you must draw from the holster, get on target quickly, move, and engage multiple targets while being timed and scored for speed and quality of hits.
		Like any martial art, the movements of defensive pistolcraft must be practiced and repeated thousands of times to achieve the speed, accuracy, and fluidity of motion which a violent encounter will demand of you.

	FN P90 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		One of the most provocative attempts to solve the common requirements of both the military and law enforcement is the select-fire P90 Personal Defense Weapon designed and manufactured by Fabrique National Herstal SA of Belgium.
		Despite the fact that the P90 Personal Defense Weapon fires a bottle-necked cartridge, which looks something like a downsized.22 Hornet, the weapon fires using an unusual method of operation that might be described as a cross between the short recoil and simple Bergmann-Bayard straight blowback principles.
		Most end-users fielding this weapon carry a maximum ammunition load of 400 rounds, and the P90 demonstrated no cook-off problems when 400 rounds were dumped as rapidly as possible downrange.

	The FN "Five-seveN" Self-loading Pistol
		To remind: the PD Weapons are mainly used by drivers, staff personnel, artillery crew, and other second line soldiers that do not take part in active combat actions and have no need in automatic or assault rifles as they use weapons mainly for the self defense.
		The PDW main idea itself was to develop a submachine gun size weapon with automatic rifle fire characteristics as submachine guns are not effective defending from assault or automatic rifle armed enemies in a long ranges.
		Furthermore compact weapons are necessary for second-line and supply soldiers as they are not used often.

	SMALL PACKAGES, BIG BANG: Personal Defense Weapons 2
		If the FN P90 PDW is an attempt to replace the submachine gun, the HK MP7A1 PDW, introduced by Heckler & Koch in 2001, would appear to be an attempt to get back to the original PDW's purpose, to replace the military pistol.
		Introduced in August of 2000, the Saab Bofors CBJ-MS Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) is actually a very interesting piece--although perhaps not at first glance (It appears to resemble the Ruger MP9 submachine gun, aesthetically).
		Sullivan sees the personal defense weapon's role, and the form it should take: "The guy with an automatic pistol is hopelessly outmatched by an opponent with a 30-shot assault rifle, yet the guy that needs a PDW the most can only carry a holstered sidearm, or no gun at all.

		The resulting weapon was type-classified by the US Army as the XM-29, and is scheduled to enter the service during the year 2009 in limited numbers.
		The SAMP stated that such weapons must utilize the latest developments in computers and visual technologies, as well as in the small arms, and combine both high explosive warheads and traditional bullets fire capabilities in a single weapon, that should be fielded circa 2000.
		The XM-29 is a combination weapon, which has the 20mm semi-automatic, magazine fed grenade launcher as its primary part, and the 5.56mm compact assault rifle as its secondary part.

	FN P90 SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL COMPARISONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The P90 Personal Defense Weapon was originally designed by Fabrique National Herstal SA of Belgium as a personal defense weapon for troops whose primary mission is something other than the use of small arms.
		The goal was a select-fire weapon of ultra-compact design that would provide superior hit probability to the aforementioned weapons out to greater distances thanks to the new compact 5.7x28mm round.
		Thus a design goal for any compact weapon is to tune the design of a suppressor so that bolt speed (i.e., cyclic rate) of the suppressed weapon falls within the optimum range for both the weapon itself and its magazine.

	Modern Firearms - FN P90 personal defense weapon / submachine gun
		By late 1980s a concept of a small-bore, low-impulse "personal defense weapon" (PDW) with good accuracy and lethality at ranges of up to 200-250 meters was well established, although there were no weapons adopted for service yet.
		Resulting weapon appeared in around 1990 as FN P90 personal defense weapon, along with improved 5,7x28 SS190 ammunition, which replaced polymer-cored bullets with heavier dual-core (steel / aluminum) bullets with better penetration against body armor.
		FN P90 personal defense weapon is blowback operated, selective-fired weapon which fires from closed bolt.

		The PDW is a quintessential reminder of the lead that HK continues to take in small arms design.
		PDW bolt is strikingly similar to the G36 bolt.

		There are many reasons that you should carry a personal defense weapon rather than a conventional weapon.
		Another reason to use pepper spray instead of conventional weapons is that the pattern is a very wide 'shotgun' pattern so it is not necessary for a great amount of training and practice to be accurate and effective with its use.
		Using any personal defense weapon in an offensive (rather than defensive) manner constitutes a criminal act and can (and probably will) be prosecuted under the law.

	AR15.COM :: Weapon Library :: 9A-91
		The 9A91 9 mm compact assault rifle was originally developed as a part of the A91 family of compact weapons, which included versions chambered for 7.62 x 39, 5.45 x 39, 9 x 39 and 5.56 x 45 ammunition.
		Designed by the famous KBP design bureau in Tula, the 9A91 was originally intended for an Army PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) role, but instead found some favor in the ranks of MVD and Russian police troops, as a less expensive equivalent of the SR-3 "Vikhr" compact assault rifle.
		The 9A91 is a gas operated, rotating bolt weapon, which utilizes a long stroke gas piston, located above the barrel, and a rotating bolt with 4 lugs.
