You can generally find them for sale at gunshows too. The last few I been too have had at least one.

I am not trying to rain on anybody's parade and by all means, if someone wants one of these things, go for it. I'll also be the first to admit that "need" shouldn't have to play much, if any, role in our purchases as freedom loving American citizens. But on the budget I am on, I am just trying to decide where the need, or practical application, of this thing is--esp at the listed suggested retail price? Ammo, from what I can tell, is still rare and expensive, and what is provided to civilians really has little or no application, as near I can tell, to personal defense--at least against two-legged critters. It would make a dandy varmint and small game set up if the weapon itself, as well as its ammo, wasn't so expensive. I'll admit it could be fun but it seems a rather expensive way to make noise when you could probably find and purchase several other rifles to fullfill the same role. The M1 Carbine comes to mind.
So, if you are serious about buying one of these things, would you mind cluing us in what your percieved use is going to be?

I envy anyone that can afford to use one as a varmint rifle!
I feel that there is no use for rifles that are only good for putting holes in paper at what+ yards. But I would never say that people should not own one, nor would I say that they are useless.
It just has no real use for me.

Thanks for the responses.
I think that it would be a superb personal defense weapon,especially with the Hornady bullets. Far better than any handgun. The submachinegun version, P90, is very popular with European police, and military "SpecOp" units.
However, I want one just for fun. Love the 50 rds magazine that lays flat on top of the carbine.
Ammo is readily available in many places. Still kind of pricey ay $19 per box of 50, but that will come down as soon as they start shipping them out in volume.
Besides, that's why I handload.
