PDW

Personal Defense Weapon. Originally used to describe HK's MP5K (MP for Maschine Pistole or Machine Pistol and K for "Kurtz" meaning small). The term has since left being used to describe that weapon and has grown to represent a new class of weaponry that is supposed to have the firepower of a rifle (such as a M16 series rifle in 5.56mm)yet the ease of carry of a submachine gun (like the larger MP5 variants).

Two weapons currently fit such a description, FN Herstal's FNP90 (5.7x28mm)and HK's MP7 (4.6x30mm). Both of these weapons are marketed as being perfect for support staff and pilots where a full size rifle would be too large to be practical

The Belgian army has units that are issued PDW 's

PDW

Personal Defense Weapon.

The PDW is a submachine gun, manufactured by Heckler & Koch, that is compact, lightweight, low recoil, and fast firing. Strangely, this does not seem to be a very good weapon for personal defense because it is still an SMG: larger than a handgun, and is a wee bit overpowered for neutralizing your common criminal.

The standard PDW and the newer MP7-PDW could very well outclass the MP5 in the police force \ SMG field, except for its smaller magazine capacity.

You could probably put 20 PDW shots into someone before they hit the floor. A bit of overkill when a single shot from a weak pistol would disable them.

Piss Drinking Whore, one who drinks their own or other people urine for enjoyment or a wannabe pornstar who drinks piss for the chance to audition.

PDW

Peter David Weber. A professional bowler known for his flamboyant TV antics and D-Generation-X crotch chops after bowling strikes. Most notable for his nonsense saying "Who do you think you are? I AM!!!" directed to his detractors after winning his 5th US Open.

PDW is the greatest bowler of all time.

PDW

Possession of a dangerous (or deadly) weapon in violation of applicable laws.

After finding a gun on the seat of the car in plain sight, the officer slapped handcuffs on the suspect while telling him, "You're under arrest for felony PDW."
