Personal Defense Rifles (PDRs)
Effective at short and medium range, PDRs are compact versions of assault rifles. Although similar in size to the submachine guns, PDRs are capable of firing armor-piercing rounds, which gives them better range and lethality. As hybrids, they can perform as sidearms, retaining the SMGs compact size and ammo capacity while benefiting from a rifle’s stopping power.
