Why aren't there many smaller caliber carbines on the market?

>>33331706
Because 5.56mm IS the "in between" caliber. That's why it exists.

>Muh over penetration

Buy hollowpoints.

>>33331706
What do you mean by small caliber? A pistol caliber carbine?

You mean like a hi-point, not a bad idea to arm people with those for home defense. Despite what people say about the pistols, the carbines are pretty good.

PCC was my first thought.
a ps90 is another gun that fits

Keltec Sub2000 would be a great alternative. Not pretty but very compact and uses several pistol calibers.

I like the Keltec 2k just because it takes Glock magazines

I like having my sideArm match my primary like that

They're becoming more popular lately. Have you not noticed the sudden proliferation of AR-9s, Scorpion Evo 3s, and Sig MPXs?

>>33331706
9mm/45ACP AR's are a thing, Sig MCX, various keltec's and hipoint carbines, and PS90.

There's plenty of PCC's around, with AR's in those calibers their making a big comeback too desu.

Because 30 carbine is a shit round. It was shit when it came out, it's shittier shit now

Because shotguns exist

There's nothing more effective at close range than a #2 buckshot and a miss isn't going to go through four walls and kill your neighbor taking a shit

>>33331706

I would buy the shit out of a highpoint/keltech-esque carbine in 10mm auto

>>33332046
least aesthetic gun ever

>>33331826
Why must they be so damn unaesthetic though?

>>33332042
I don't want it for practicality. I want it for fun.
