I have the M&P 12 Bullpump, this new FPC would make a nice companion piece. I've never been too keen on PCCs but for first time shooters, as a trunk, camp kind of plinker, this thing could be a lot of economical fun. A 9mm projectile through a
16" barrel actually adds some nice, well needed ballistic advantage and greater range capability too.
I had an Uzi carbine with the wood stock and 16" barrel because as a kid, I always wanted an Uzi. Problem was it didn't fold, weighed 12.5, yes, not a typo, 12.5lbs!
It was terrible and really boring to shoot as all SMGs that have been neutered to semi-auto, long barreled plinkers. No modern SBRs allowed in California so I had to take it as it was. I shot it a couple of times and promptly sold it. I have shot Uzi SMGs and they
are a blast but a neutered Uzi carbine, not so much.
This little FPC would solve almost everything I didn't like about the Uzi, it weighs less than half of what the tank-like Uzi weighed and it does fold. Thankfully with a 30 3/8" OAL, 16" barrel and the fact that it cannot be fired with the barrel folded away means that with the addition of a lame grip fin and getting some blocked 10 round mags, even the nanny state of California will let me buy one. Win-win. Seems like a fun plinker, I was impressed that Reeves went 10/10 off-hand on a relatively small steel plate at 100 yards with it.
BTW, watch the Sootch video, Smith & Wesson ships it in a nice, non-descript soft case that looks relatively small and slim, would definitely fit behind a truck seat or in a trunk. Probably too large though to fit under most car seats.
