Title: SIG ACP Adaptive Carbine Platform
Post by: antoinebugleboy on January 17, 2012, 05:00:59 PM: Sig Sauer ACP - Adaptive Carbine Platform (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9IZ_6qm56o#ws)

Looks to me like it gives you a lot of options for accessories (RAILS! RAILS! RAILS!), and two-handed firing, but no buttstock or extended barrel. Seems more tacticool than tactical.

A better idea to me, is to use the modular p250 in a rifle body, including barrel and buttstock. What do you guys think?

I once fired a Browning Hi Power (Chinese contract) with the shoulder stock attached. It was way harder to shoot than the plain pistol, for two reasons. The sights were too close to my eye (the ACR solves this by having a red dot), and the recoil was pretty stiff (which the ACR solves by not having anything touching the shoulder, so how is it better than just shooting the plain pistol). Tacticool is the word.

JKeone808, sure you could get it without the foregrip and buttstock, but then it's just something weighing down your pistol.
