PDWs...and other small arms.

We also had a unit policy of dropping our weapons to slings then going to steel (knives for the most part) if we were over ran. Under 10 ft we risked shooting each other. So knives were better. One of our guys carried a Tomahawk and used it against the Tabliban. Sliced one insurgent from chest to stomach. Scared the crap out of the rest of them.

Outside the wire you want a rifle and knives.

I hope you'll understand my finding that report of questionable credibility. I mean, you have enemy personnel with AK's spraying bullets at you and your buddies, and you're so concerned with the possibility of fratricide that you intentionally stop using your most effective weapon???
