Heck, they already made knives; what more do you want?
Will the design ever evolve beyond their tupperware roots?I know "if it aint broke, dont fix it"...and you gotta give props to a company that can sell an item to a customer, then make a minor change to it and call it new, then remove that feature later and call it new again...but does anybody think they'll venture beyond what they currently do? Will we ever see a Glock carbine...or a metal frame Glock or a different action or anything?
I'm guessing not...but who knows.
Unless Law Enforcement has a need (big need) for it, Glock will never produce anything but. HK owns the Sub market for LEO/Military and I can't see Glock cutting it.
Agreed, and while you do see sub guns within LEO hands on the occasion, the military has completely moved away from pistol caliber sub guns. No point when you can just run a rifle caliber chopped off rifle. Most pistol caliber sub machine guns are still running on 30-40 year old designs. I doubt we’ll see much in the way of demand for new Pistol caliber carbines outside of civilian consumers, which reduces the likelihood of glock making one.
True, and they have been used. I just feel like with advances in ammunition (like frangible or fragmenting 556 ammo) it degrades the point of pistol caliber sub guns. Ammo costs are also something to consider when comparing the two.A 10mm or 45 ACP Sub would be amazing for close quarters. I'm surprised we don't see them used more often. 556 Sub is just as lethal and the same size though.
It's not just the performance of the firearm--it's also the logistics. If you use an SBR M16 variant instead of an SMG, that's one less weapons system you have to train soldiers to use and armorers to maintain, not to mention that it (mostly) uses the same parts and ammo as your main battle rifle. In effect, you get a harder-hitting round and more efficiency in your training and logistics, which is one of those rare win-win scenarios.True, and they have been used.

Yeap! The DoD has been very vocal about their desire for small arms modularity.It's not just the performance of the firearm--it's also the logistics.
