Or turning the Mk18 from a "special upper" into a dedicated PDW that gets issued ready-to-go.

10.3-10.5" 1/7 twist barrel with a shortened flash hider
3-position (Safe-semi-auto) FCG (Geissele SSF if I could choose)
Aimpoint T-1 on Larue mount with storage for 1-2 extra batteries
Geissele M-4 rail (or something lighter, I'm not super "rail-saavy" these days)
LWRC UICW buttstock
Magpul MOE-K pistol grip
Issue kit would also include 4-20rd PMags to be used when most compact profile is needed.

The M-1 Carbine was the smartest US small arm decision of WW2.  It's time to do it 21st-century style.

Discuss.

Just a MK18.

Most of that other stuff sucks.

OK, I'll bite.

"The M-1 Carbine was the smartest US small arm decision of WW2"

The .30 Carbine drops like a lead zeppelin at 200 meters.  If I had to carry that POS durring WWII I feel naked.  Now the idea of a 10 inch 5.56 is fine.  You can realistically get 300 meters out of a 10 inch 5.56.

Sincerest form of flattery and all that.  Your two are kitted-out "SOCOM snake-eater" style, but the bottom one minus the can and electronics needs to be an issue item.  Hand them out the same way we did the Carbine.
