Armalon Pistol CarbineModel: Armalon Pistol Carbine
Sometimes called the Armalon PC, this is a pistol caliber carbine developed by the British company Armalon in 1997 as a spiritual successor to the Spanish "Destroyer" carbine developed in the inter-war period. The PC is a bolt-action carbine with a detachable magazine available in a variety of calibers, based on the Lee-Enfield rifle series that served with distinction in both World Wars. Unlike many other weapons the PC is UK-legal, making it a good choice for British survivalists.

The PC uses the same magazines as the Italian Tanfoglio handguns in the respective calibers, and the .357, .44, and .50 AE variants use modified Desert Eagle mags. They can also be found with polymer stocks and come standard with iron sights, though they include a proprietary scope rail.

Where to find

Cost varies depending on the caliber, with prices ranging from $270 to $2000 or higher. The PC is one of the few weapons that can be found in Great Britain for civilians and is an excellent investment for any British survivalists who are restricted in firepower.

Complexity

As a bolt-action the PC is inherently less sensitive to ammo choices and more durable, though the detachable pistol magazines will be more sensitive to damage than a fixed magazine. The only real disadvantage the Armalon has over semi-automatic carbines like the Kel-Tec SUB-2000 or Uzi carbine is the slower rate of fire.
