Beretta CX4 storm - Is it a SMG, PDW or Carbine?

[CanadianBaconPancakes]

What would the beretta fall under?

 

[Blastattack]

PCC would be the official designation. That stands for Pistol Caliber Carbine.

The MX4 with its select fire and shorter barrel is the SMG version.

Officially this falls into the realm of carbine, or PCC as another poster said

The MX4 with its select fire and shorter barrel is the SMG version.

I didn't even know that was a thing! Beretta needs to do a semi-auto version of it.

Been available for years. It even comes with a longer barrel to make it non-restricted in Canada.

I realize the CX4 has been around for years but I've never seen a short-barreled one like in the pic.

I wonder how many police forces are still using it.

Only the Indian army... if memory serves.

They are using them in New York still. I seen a news clip recently were they were showing some police officers kitted up down town and one of them had a Beretta.

But the real question. Is it a bullpup?

I had forgotten that! It was Linden NJ when they arrested the pressure cooker numbnut a couple of months ago.

I'd say technically not.

I'd say technically it's not even remotely close to a bullpup and also assume Epoxy is just playin

 

[bungsTPS]

lol indeed, he probably is

 

[Deuce-deuce]

You technically sure? The magazine is behind the trigger...

I'm pretty technically sure the definition of a bullpup is that the "action" is behind the trigger group, not the magazine. Look at the KSG shotgun, the FN P90, FN F2000s, they all have the magazines above or in front of the trigger but they are bullpups.

Close. The FS2000 has the mag behind the grip like other 5.56mm bullpups.

Mx4 is full auto.
Cx4 is semi-auto.
You can only purchase Cx4 in Canada (non-restricted).
It is a pistol carbine....just like the JR Carbine and TNW aero survival rifle.
From review, they are pretty decent accuracy but some criticizes their trigger which can be replaced with an aftermarket trigger/spring...can't remember the name of that shop.

I wish the stock looks less permanently goofy and too bad it's not customizable.
