	The '''Personal Defense Weapon, Caliber .30, Carbine,''' is a compact, magazine-fed, open bolt, electronic impulse, electromagnet-assisted delayed blowback-operated select-fire assault rifle employing the new [[7.62x33mm Caseless]] round, intended to supplement the hand [[phaser]] as a backup weapon carried by non-combat support personnel for personal defense in active warzones. Additionally, with the use of specially-coated subsonic ammunition and a sound suppressor, it can be used in clandestine special operations missions to spoof station sensors and avoid setting off automated alarm systems.

	The Mark 30 PDW is shipped with a specialized complete upper receiver assembly which allows insertion of a Type 1 "Remote-Type" Hand Phaser into the chamber, much like the Type 2 Assault Phaser. This gives it access to a higher degree of power than the conventional ballistic rifle or Type 1 hand phaser themselves, although not quite on the level of a Type 3 phaser rifle. The powerpack is inserted on the handguard's top rail cutout, much like the PDW, while the magazine well can be empty or include an optional battery to power the temperature and ammunition sensors. The ammo counter will track power percentage from 99% instead of number of rounds remaining. Mark 30 PDWs in this configuration are officially designated as '''Type 2 Phaser Carbines''', but are more typically referred to as Phaser PDWs or just PDWs.

	===Mark 30 Mod. 0 ~~High~~-~~Explosive, Incendiary, Armor-Piercing~~===		===Mark 30 Mod. 0 HE-I/AP===
	The standard-issue 170-grain boattail round, composed of incendiary mix, zirconium powder, HE mix, and a depleted uranium penetrator inside a steel cup, encased in a copper jacket. It is designed to defeat most common forms of body armor and explode inside the target, with a pyrotechnical detonation train instead of a manual fuse that sets off the HE filler and incendiary mix, to ensure maximum effect and terminal ballistic consistency. Fired from a 10.3-inch unsuppressed barrel, the Mk 30 round generates muzzle velocities of over 900 m/s, with an effective range of 700 meters. AP-I/HE rounds are marked with green tips.

	The initial impact of the round ignites the incendiary material in the tip, triggering the detonation of the HE charge. The second (zirconium powder) incendiary charge will also ignite. This burns at a very high temperature, is not easily extinguished, and can last up to 15 minutes. The remaining element of the round is the depleted uranium penetrator. This has a large amount of kinetic energy and will penetrate the armor as a solid-cored armor-piercing shot would. This will take the incendiary material and about 20 steel fragments (created by the explosives), delivering them in a 25–30 degree cone through the armor, increasing lethality.

	A special-purpose variation of the Mark 30 round strictly limited to situational use by Vidant Obscura agents and Temporal Operatives. The mild steel cup of the regular Mark 30 is laced with potent Chroniton particles, which, while not harmful to most humanoids, can do serious damage to those beings that exist out of the timeline. Their nature as Temporal Weapons requires strict oversight of operation and storage. These rounds are marked with a bright yellow T or V, depending on the department responsible for handling them.

	Another special-purpose derivative of the Mark 30 round for TACCOM and Temporal Operative teams. Both the mild steel cup and DU penetrator are laced with highly-refined Kemocite, a radiolytic compound with devastating terminal neutronic radiation effects that are lethal to humans, Vulcans, and Denobulans, among other species, within three minutes. Ammunition must be stored in special shielded pouches and must have Class 1K Fratricide protection, to avoid accidental contamination.

	===Mark 31 Mod. 0 ~~High~~-~~Velocity Armor-Piercing, Saboted~~===		===Mark 31 Mod. 0 HVAP-S===
	A 5.7mm sub-caliber penetrator encased in a cup sabot. As the projectile is smaller in diameter and lighter than a conventional round, it is propelled at a higher velocity of roughly 1200 m/s when fired out of 10.3-inch barrel, and the reduced cross section of the penetrator makes it more effective against hard armor. Terminal effects are lessened, although this round is more intended for use against more armored targets such as thin-skinned vehicles or exosuits instead of a standard dismounted infantry unit. HVAP-S rounds are marked with black tips, and weapons firing HVAP-S rounds must have their barrels outfitted with a stellite liner to avoid damaging the rifling with the plastic cup sabot.

	===Mark 32 Mod. 0 ~~High-Explosive, Plastic~~===		===Mark 32 Mod. 0 HEP===
	An experimental thin-shelled round filled with a dense plastic explosive composition and a delayed-action base fuze. The plastic explosive diffuses along the target upon impact and is then detonated by the base fuze, which manipulates the large surface area of the explosive to cause a shockwave to go through a metal (typically steel) plate, causing little bits of metal (spall) to fragment and fly off at high velocity. It is a low-velocity round designed to fight enemies with primitive types of heavy plate armor, with thicknesses that may not be penetrated by conventional munitions. The round is marked with a yellow tip.

Designed to maximize incendiary effect on target, capable of igniting flammable liquids such as fuel or hydraulic fluid to a greater capacity than standard Mark 30. This is considered to be a "special-purpose" round, reserved for offensive forces such as those under TACCOM. Colored with an orange tip.

			The PDW-30/C is shipped with a specialized complete upper receiver assembly which allows insertion of a Type 1 "Remote-Type" Hand Phaser into the chamber, much like the Type 2 Assault Phaser. This gives it access to a higher degree of power than the conventional ballistic rifle or Type 1 hand phaser themselves, although not quite on the level of a Type 3 phaser rifle. The powerpack is inserted on the handguard's top rail cutout, much like the PDW, while the magazine well can be empty or include an optional battery to power the temperature and ammunition sensors. The ammo counter will track power percentage from 99% instead of number of rounds remaining.

	Before the adoption of 7.62x33mm Caseless was even considered, designers began to develop a new PDW, cutting costs by adapting a previous, older design, the ubiquitous AR-15 platform of the mid-20th and 21st centuries, and placing a distinctive twist on it. The result was the PDW-30/C, accompanying the release of the new round, which is designed to be an easy-to-operate backup weapon for non-combat or foreign personnel to instill more confidence in their presence in contested areas, with a distinctly more aggressive look than a hand phaser or Type 3 phaser rifle. However, it cannot match the utility or overall power of a phaser, and is only designed as a supplemental weapon, rather than a replacement.

	An experimental thin-shelled round filled with a dense plastic explosive composition and a delayed-action base fuze. The plastic explosive diffuses along the target upon impact and is then detonated by the base fuze, which manipulates the large surface area of the explosive to cause a shockwave to go through a metal (typically steel) plate, causing little bits of metal (spall) to fragment and fly off at high velocity. It is a low-velocity round designed to fight enemies with primitive types of plate armor, with thicknesses that may not be penetrated by conventional munitions.

It is a low-velocity round designed to fight enemies with primitive types of heavy plate armor, with thicknesses that may not be penetrated by conventional munitions. The round is marked with a yellow tip.
