C-MS

Compact, light-weight, while having a higher firepower than a pistol would be the main features of Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) type firearms. CBJ Tech AB and Saab Bofors Dynamics presented their CBJ-MS SMG weapon design in 2000, packing the ability to fire a smaller calibre armor piercing rounds, CBJ-MS qualifies as a PDW as well as a SMG. CBJ-MS have a visual appearance similar to the Israeli Uzi and the Ingram Mac-10, but the weapon have several interesting feature that would distinguish itself from the rest of the SMG/PDW with this visual appearance. CBJ-MS is designed to chamber 9x19mm Parabellum and the proprietary high armor piercing performance 6.5×25mm CBJ cartridge designed by CBJ Tech, the weapon can be refitted on the field to switch cartridge types. The 6.5mm CBJ is a light weight, hyper-sonic cartridge, designed to be the universal cartridge type for both hard and soft targets that have a similar dimension and recoil as the 9mm Parabellum. The projectile itself is tungsten while encased by a plastic sabot, it is able to be fired at a muzzle velocity of 815 m/s even with the 200mm short barrel. Developers claim that it is able to defeat the current and future body armours, even go as far as boasting it could penetrate lightly armored vehicles or even APCs. As a compact weapon CBJ-MS relies on blow back operation, rate of fire for CBJ-MS is set to 700 rounds per minute cyclic, the weapon have access to 20-/30- round magazines for feeding. When fitted with a specially designed proprietary bipod and 100-round drum magazine, CBJ-MS can function as light support weapon. CBJ-MS itself measures 363mm in length, 565mm with the adjustable wire-frame stock fully extended. Aiming of the weapon can rely on the adjustable open sights or any mounted optics compatible with the Picatinny rails on top of the weapon. The weapon's progressive trigger offers different fire modes, short pull produces a semi automatic shot, full pull will fire the weapon fully automatically, safety of the weapon is located on the pistol grip while the charge handles is on the back of the weapon. Another notable feature on the CBJ-MS would be the integrated hollow fore grip, it can fit another magazine inside to speed up the reloading motion of the weapon. The weapon is currently on the look out for potential costumers, CBJ-MS is advertised as a compact and light weight PDW, it would be a suitable weapon for none front line military personals such as vehicle crews, pilots, medical personals and as side arm for machinegunners/field officers. When refitted for the 9mm Parabellum it would be a decent choice for law enforcement units.
