The 9 mm Para version of SOG-LE is particularly interesting. It is going to
be available in two varieties. First will be typical, blowback operated, but
the other is going to be a short-stroke piston driven gun. Currently the
piston gas system is under testing and it is aimed for waterborne use and
maritime environments. It also features the extended flared magazine well
for faster and easier reloads. Additionally, there are dedicated muzzle devic-
es and silencers developed for this pistol caliber carbine. PCC will be fed
from GLOCK pistol magazines for increased compatibility.
