Derivative of designs by FN and others (the P90, Steyr TMP, Bushman IDWI, the original Personal Weapon was designed for vehicle crews and rear echelon personnel that did not have the need to carry a full-sized assault weapon. This is a collapsed-bullpup design, with the magazine 90° off the weapon axis along the top of the weapon. Most of the construction is nylex-based material, only the receiver and barrel being alloys or cerametal. The current personal weapons usually fire 1Omm caseless (206+3), 12mm caseless (4D6+1), or in older versions, 5.7mm (3D6) cased rounds. This weapon could be called either a heavy SMG or an assault rifle.[1][2]
