AR Pistol/SBR vs pistol caliber SMG. For a long time, the preferred CQB/Urban weapon was an SMG, whether it was the original Tommy Gun/Thompson or the German MP40. However, with the proliferation of body armor, the need for strong rounds has arisen. The military experimented with AP calibers like the FN 5.7 (the P90) or the HK 4.6 (the MP7), but ultimately, it was easier to just add a shorter barrel to your AR and use standard 5.56 ammo that is armor piercing out of the box.
