KAC PDW Anyone ever see the internals of this sweet gun?

Don't get me wrong I like the gun, but aside from the cartridge it's very Krinkov like. I think the Krinkov makes more sense given it's availabilty and 7.62x39 is probably better suited for up close and personal. I just don't see the quantum leap it's made over what's available and been done before.
 
Kevin the 6x35 pdw round was developed with hornady if i'm correct, Is it available to purchase to public, or since the kac pdw is mil/le only is this round only available to it's users. thanks Mark
 
Currently the round is restricted to us and TSWG client based groups.

However are in the process of talking to other ammuntion companies and plan to make it publically available.
 
All the data I have is from joint KAC/TSWG testing and not public. MIL and LE sitting on TSWG have copies or can get them.
Other LE in Canada not on the board can contact the RCMP/CF representatives that are on it.
 
Here we go, something to compare the KAC PDW round to

Defense Review was told that the KAC 6x35mm PDW cartridge weighs approx. 65 grains and yields 848 ft.-lbs of muzzle energy at 2425 fps out of the CQB's 10-inch barrel vs. 5.56x45mm M855 ball's reported 776 ft.-lbs of energy (unconfirmed/unverified) out of an equivalent-length (10") barreled M4/M4A1 CQB subcarbine/SBR (Short-Barreled Rifle). Even though the muzzle energy generated is higher, KAC claims that the CQB generates 40% less recoil compared to a 5.56mm AR-15/M16 subcarbine/SBR.

To give an idea of how the KAC CQB PDW/6x35mm cartridge combo stacks up against other PDW/ammo packages, it's been reported to DefenseReview that the standard FNH SS190 5.7x28mm round creates 390 ft-lbs out of a FNH P90 Submachine Gun/PDW (reported 10.2" barrel), and the standard HK Defense 4.6x30mm round creates 310 ft-lbs out of the HK MP7A1 PDW (7" barrel). When asked about the CQB's combat/lethality envelope, a KAC official told Defense Review that the CQB/6x35mm package is accurate and lethal out to 300 meters. The CQB will deliver sub-2" MOA.

The KAC CQB PDW is utilizes a dual-piston system and is gas-operated. The recoil spring runs the full length of the upper receiver, right up the middle between the two gas pistons. Bolt system is AKM/Kalashnikov style. The CQB utilizes a monolithic upper receiver and full-curve magazine. The barrel has been lightened with a patented dimpling process, which gives the barrel an interesting look.
