As Bugabear pointed out, the high rate of fire has a lot to do with the fact that the action is so light and the barrel is so short. Especially with machine pistols that are based on service pistols (the G18 and Beretta 93R especially), those are guns which, by definition of their designs, don't lend themselves so well to methods of gas regulation and rate reduction that can be accomplished with machine pistols based on full-size SMGs (like the MP5K). So they just fire very fast.

I don't think I ever said that. H&K did call the MP7 the "PDW" when it was still in the prototype phase (and the prototype looks a little different from the production model). But isn't the MP7 considered a PDW by definition?
