Mabye a solution between PDW and assault rifle....
I'm thinking a assault rifle caliber weapon, such as a .223 in a IW that's no heavier then four pounds, and of a bullpup design with a carbine length barrel(although it could easily be made longer).
I know magpul is designing a weapon with a 12.5inch barrel, which is basically what i'm talking about here. This would do away with a large amount of weight, but it would not cause to many logistical problems, as it uses ammunition commonly available, yet would still allow for more effectiveness at longer ranges.
Note: Please bear with any mistakes, grammar or otherwise, that I make. I am only 14 :p
Martial Arts are one thing, combat is another.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Gunsite and some others have pretty extensive Libraries and I never cease to be amazed by the things people have studied in depth.

The controls are not the issue for muscle memory imho.To reload under stress and to quickly go into a solid aiming stance (I don't know the better translations) is more critical than trigger, mag release and safety.
Except for reloading under stress, all that's gun magazine and Super Cop SWAT foolishness for competitions; it has very little applicability to military combat.[/QUOTE]
