It's not a common size but you can find it. They say it can support 11.1V in stock form, but I have my doubts if the gearbox can handle the speed or if the microswitch won't burn out after a short period of time without a mosfet.

Yes but where can they be purchased?

Apparently I should clarify. I wasn't asking where to purchase the pdr. I want to find the proper batteries.

Thank you to everyone who pmd me retailers though.

You'd have to solve the trigger bouncing issue with the FET.

I don't know who OEMs this gun but the internals screams ARES! Use of Micoswitch trigger, quick change spring, the look of the gears, etc. The overall look of the gearbox reminds me of the Tavor gearbox, which is NOT a good thing IMO.

Cause it is an ARES.

The last sentence of this new news story implies that the PDR isn't made by Ares. I wonder who did.

yeah so they say.....but we all know the truth even if they deny it :P

The shell itself isn't ARES IIRC but the internals are definately ARES.

The only thing keeping this thing from being a replica is the fact that it was never made as a real firearm. 330fps isn't a concern, too bad the polymer doesn't seem to be any better than that. Thanks for the review.

I always see all these pictures of people using these 100x18x18 stick lipo's... but i can still see loads of space in the grip? it also looks like there's bucket loads of space to put the wiring and the deans in the receiver and/or front grip, so could anyone please tell me if you don't store and wire or connectors in the pistol grip could you fit a larger battery equivalent to a standard mini sized batt?

these are normally 100mm long and 15-19mm tall so this should be fine, but they are often about 34-36mm wide, this is the part im concerned about.

please could someone measure the max width of the batt space in the pistol grip? I'd really appreciate it as this is the main thing holding me back from getting one right now...

Dude… I'm so envious of you. The PDR-C is my favourite submachine gun but can't afford it lol :P I'm a fan of bullpup/unique looking weapons lol

PDR isn't a sub machine gun. It's a bullpup style assault rifle.

A sub machine gun uses pistol caliber round, as this uses 5.56mm assault rifle rounds.

That's also kinda not true for one this gun never made it into production atleast not yet so it ain't going to be firing anything and since its a magpul its probably going to be designed to be able to switch calibers.

Its also more of a PDW that so happens to fire 5.56 rounds.

Plus magpul only used the 5.56mm round cause they didn't want to create a proprietary round which most pdws use.
