Keltec views RMR30 as a hunting and plinking carbine. It can be that, but I see it more as a home defense rifle for people who cannot hold up a heavy rifle or deal with much recoil. From a 16″ barrel, 22wmr works reasonably well. At ~2000fps 40 grain JHP penetrates 9″ in gelatin and expands to about .47″, while ball just makes a 20″ deep straight hole. Not as impressive as true rifle calibers but greatly superior to .22LR normally recommended for invalids. The lack of perceptible recoil means rapid followups from the 30-shot magazine. Weight is 4.2 lbs loaded (M1 carbine is 6.1 lbs).

When did you get together with Chau?
Got a change to fondle one at SHOT, and I was blown away just how small and light it was, and I agree: If you have doubts about controlling a pistol or the weight of a shotgun, this is gun for you.
Heck, I want one as a PDW/car gun. It is a sexy, sexy little gun.
That’s pretty slick, I wish more rifles/carbines had that sort of retractable stock. Doesn’t this take the PMR30 mags too?
i would worry that if someone can’t handle a light gun already, that i wouldn’t even want to risk someone pointing something like the rmr-30, because, seriously?
on the flip side, it should make a fun trainer for little people i know, and other people “afraid” of heavy guns.
me? give me an 8 lb battle rifle and i’m a happy boy (big bullets, less recoil)…
but i’ll still buy two of these 🙂
and consider a suppressor for the first time…

Heck, if you’re going the suppressor route, why not get the barrel chopped down and register it as an SBR? It would definitely look sexier…
Sweet baby Cthulhu! :big eyes:
What kind of head-shape is that?
I’d like to see the RMR30 used to gel test Critical Defense, should do better than 9 inches.
Make a sbr out of it. Then it would look and work like the HK PDW.
Interesting toy.
It would be a lot MORE interesting in something such as .25 Stevens RF.
