Design
[edit]The Floro PDW uses 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition and compatible with 20 or 30-round STANAG Magazines,[3] improving ammunition compatibility requirements among troops while increasing their firepower effectiveness. The use of the Recoil Reduction System (RRS) enhances operator marksmanship and training.
A folding stock is used, being folded on the right side.[3] An optional noise suppressor reduces the sound signature of the Floro PDW for special forces applications.[1]
