Who said personal weaponry couldn't be worthy of military personnel? Thanks to our lobbyists, not Congress. Integral suppressor.
Ammu-Nation and Social Club description.

The Coil Combat PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) is a submachine gun released in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 update.

Design[]

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]

Lower rate of fire, but unparalleled damage. This SMG is the perfect chance to have someone appreciate the wonders of modern technology by absorbing them straight through their skull.
Career Builder description, GTA Online.

The Combat PDW is a hybrid weapon primarily based on the SIG MPX, but with various differences such as the bolt assembly and trigger guard of a Heckler & Koch MP5, along with a magwell similar to it.

It is a personal defense weapon that features an integrated suppressor, and can be equipped with a variety of attachments. In Grand Theft Auto Online, as part of the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update, there is a unique Drum Magazine option that resembles a variety of AR-sized Drum Magazines, such as the Magpul PMAG D-60.

Performance[]

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]

The Combat PDW is a high damage per shot weapon. At 28 damage, it has the highest damage per shot of all submachine guns, surpassed only by the Gusenberg Sweeper (although it is classed as a light machine gun in-game). This damage profile is high for submachine gun standards, and it makes the weapon itself powerful in combat. The built-in suppressor, unlike the mounted ones from other firearms, does not alter its damage per shot and range, also being an ideal choice for most situations where stealth is key.

However, it has the major downside of firing only at an average fire rate of 450 RPM, which is the lowest fire rate of all submachine guns. This limits the weapon's killing power as it is outclassed by all other SMGs in terms of fire rate. Nonetheless, this is partially balanced by the high damage per shot, which gives the weapon a rather good time-to-kill value. While it is average at close range, the iron sights make the weapon more suited toward longer-ranged attacks, about the same range as the Carbine Rifle or Special Carbine, thus making it an equally effective weapon as the latter two at mid to long range engagements.

In terms of attachments, it shares the selection of attachments with other SMGs: Scope, Grip, Flashlight and the Extended Clip, which increases its capacity from 30 rounds to 60. The Drum Magazine further increases the capacity to 100 rounds.

In conclusion, despite a quite poor fire rate, it is a powerful submachine gun to use, thanks to its high damage per shot. It also has the advantage of coming with an integrated suppressor that does not affect the weapon's performance at all. In terms of overall stats, it is outclassed by the Gusenberg Sweeper which has better damage per shot and fire rate, but has a restricted attachments selection, being only able to equip the Extended Clip. It can also be used more effectively at further ranges than most of the other SMG's, especially its similar counterpart, the MP5.
