I've finally decided after years of shooting that what my collection really needs is a short barrel rifle.
I decided this after coming down with a health problem that won't let me shoot my shotguns or any stout recoiling rifles anymore. I still want to shoot and thought that a lightweight, low recoiling, sub gun might be fun.
As a platform I've decided that I'm probably going to use an MPA 30 9mm

I chose the MPA 30 for the following reasons.
9mm is cheap
The MPA 30 is cheap but reliable from what I hear
9mm is quiet compared to rifle rounds from a short barrel
low recoil
Overall handiness
After I file all the paper work and get my tax stamp I will most likely get and adapter that will allow me to attach an AR-15 style collapsible stock and maybe a forward grip of some kind.
I think this is the cheapest way for me to enter the short barreled rifle world but am open to suggestions of other rifles that might be fun to short barrel.
I would even be open to thoughts on 9mm carbines that I wouldn't have to short barrel but that are within the $500 range as that is my budget limit.
Thoughts?
