[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 2129405, member: 4809"] The original idea sprang from the need to replace a dedicated weapon (H&K MP5) shooting subsonic 147 gr. 9mm bullets in CQB situations. The history that I read, said nothing about super-sonic rounds as part of the original goal. Was it an added benefit? Perhaps. But carrying two different loads into CQB can lead to confusion and potentially a huge mistake if you accidentally load a supersonic round into a subsonic situation. Additionally, the supersonic round would most definitely change your POI, necessitating a recalibration of your sight. I suspect that would not be something you want to contend with in the middle of a firefight. [/QUOTE]
