is right about the usefulness of a bag gun in general. I don't carry it around in my daily life. I take it in the bag like that when I travel with the kids. Basically it lives in the car or cabin or hotel with me, and the bag is just a means of keeping it discreet and out of plain view while not looking like a weapon case. It's also in the passenger compartment when driving my my primary is on my belt.
Yup. So now the plan is just run the rifle I really like and am comfortable with, by letting it ride shotgun in the front seat and just using a simple blanket to cover it. I can always slide it in a discreet case from location to location.

This is why I want an MP7. Yes - I know, not mostest of practicality, but I want one.
I like to have something that has good stability when propped in an open door/A-pillar or across a roof/hood. It's why I stay away from PDW style weapons. But they are cool to look at.
Usefulness.
Most people that have used a pdw 5.56 move on to a better set up or caliber.
Fire off an 11" 5.56 with no suppression in a shoot house sometime.
You most likely won't have ear protection or suppressor in a real life non larping scenario.
Also the ballistics and functionality of the 5.56 ammo/gun take a HUGE hit below 11".
Q Honey Badger's best features are .300 BLK and the compact light weight of the system.
In 5.56 I don't like it so much.
The Sig Rattler is another option but I think the Virtus/Spear 5.56 with other barrel change options being a better choice if you can handle the chunkyness.
In a light weight small 11.5" 5.56 package:
Jakl
CZ Bren 2ms
Sig Virtus/Spear
AR-15 build or bought
(Tuned for suppression)
CMMG Dissent.
Now my personal preference..even though I do have some of the above firearms:
5.7 - light, handy decent performance with good ammo. CMMG or AR57 from Panzer Arms.
.300 BLK - way to many bonus's and options to list
Just do your homework.
7.62x39- AKs are to heavy,
build an AR or buy KS47.
9mm- potentially the shortest, lightest handiest.
Multiple mag choices and not limited to the AR platform.
Some of these are even more versatile with a suppressor involved.
Having used a 7" 5.56 I won't do so again if I have a choice.
Now for a pew pew blasting range gun it's fine...but I would grab another gun for hunting or social work.
