                    I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

. . . or is that one of the MSAR pseudo-AUGs? I thought MSAR was going out of business. Either way, I'm a little confused.
Don, I know this is a little late but here is an answer that may make a little sense.
This may not be their reason for making it but its a legitimate use for....... Home invasion. I live in Phoenix where home invasions are becoming even more common in our city and where a VAST majority are carried out by men wearing body armor. A .223 coming out of those pistols will defeat that body armor and doesn't have near the speed of a traditional full size AR resulting in less penetration past that. You will still put holes through your entire house, but if it hits the cinder blocks that mark most of the yard lines in this city it will stop it cold. I know it was not their intended purpose but it sure fills the void for those who may need it.
