Here's a photo of part of the kit I'd really like. That's a H&K SP89 on the Ontario ASEK knife

If I remember right (I'm a dumb civilian) an 0311 is the MOS of a machinegunner

I prefer a FN P90.
Or a SIG.
A decent rifle in the hands of a properly trained individual beats all machinepistolen ever made.

0311 is officially called "rifleman" but weapons used include machineguns.

Now is a PDK really necessary in an EDC or a BOB? What I'm getting at is, is it necessary over a more readily available handgun? I guess I'm trying to understand the situation that would require me to need the PDK.. It's not like I'm some VIP expecting to be assassinated or kidnapped. IMHO, in a bug out scenario, I need something that will allow me to redirect any criminals from me to other unarmed victims/targets so that I can get back to the "fort/armory". Even then, is it necessary as a tool to get something like that? Please note that I am not expecting zombies or aliens to be attacking soon.. Nor do I expect to be involved in a fire fight with the military.. Cause whatever I have, they have more of and better of... I guess what I'm saying is that I have enough ammo and firearms to defend myself against "reasonable" looting and attacks (offer enough resistance so they move to the next home)... Do you really need more? If I were preparing for TEOTWAWKI, I'd dream of just getting a pair of belt fed MGs and go at it until I run out of ammo.. But alas, it is illegal for most US citizens... Just wondering... <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

There are numerous firearms I'd rather have in a BOB than a 9mm machine pistol. As a matter of fact, other than a derriger or .25 semi-auto, I can't think of many I wouldn't rather have.

P-90 is also nice

"There are numerous firearms I'd rather have in a BOB than a 9mm machine pistol."

Amen. For me the list starts with a big ol' revolver. But the HK sure is pretty... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
