Right so I wana get myself an smg for cqb environments but don't want an mp5 as my brother in law has one and would like to mix it up a bit. Thinking maybe a vector?

 
ump

P90

mp7

mp9

vector

try them out for size and see what you like and fits you ;) B)

edit:- almost forgot, you could always try a stubbie M4 B)

ghk and We actually make a gun just called "pdw" its a sort of mini m4 type thing

 
Lets just assume, with some common sense, that I was referring to PDWs which don't fire pistol ammo?

AND THEN

Add those to the list of SMGs. :)
Technically, no pdw fires pistol ammo. Except in cases like the FN5-7 where a pistol has been designed specifically to fire the same ammo as its pdw relation (in this case of course the P90). The whole point of the pdw was to make a weapon with more stopping power than an smg but smaller than an assault rifle.

I thought it would be too condescending/obscure to mention that. Kinda wish I'd saved you the trouble :)

Thing is that there's a lot of people that DO need to have the whole thing explained properly. A little learning never hurts does it?

Prime example is that most of the PDWs available as airsoft replicas have already been mentioned here (MP7, MP9, P90 etc).

 
Why is it, that no one thought to correct the OP's use of SMG (in lieu of submachinegun), but the moment someone suggests another lightweight CQB weapons designation by it's acronym, its open season. PDWs been around 20-30 years.

A lot of people see SMG and PDW as pretty much interchangeable though...

Because he said he wanted an SMG but not an MP5 which is an SMG and he was thinking of the Vector which is an SMG. So what was there to correct?

He was asking what particular SMG's are good and instead you suggested to him a whole different classification of weapon and not a particular one.

 
Aaaaanyway, all this pedantry is getting in the way of actually answering the OPs question now. Shall we call it quits?

P90 opened the door, not I.

Yes, it's silly.

I'm actually in the same boat as the OP, I'm looking for a lightweight short barrelled primary.
