Not at present. Need to devise some kind of system before I do, that limits the number I take on. Got a bit inundated last time.

Cool weapon I need my troops equipped with a gun like this ^^

I recommend restricting usage to vehicular crews or SOF in close quarters operations.

I can't really explain why, but I get an almost A-91 vibe from the carry handle, even though I know it's more reminiscent of the AR-platform, no clue why, just my first thought. The use of a mid-power rifle cartridge is a unique choice, I can't say I can think of another 6.5 PDW, certainly interesting to say the least, though I gotta wonder about the recoil, given how light it is paired with the mid-caliber bullet. I particularly like the intended grip being to hold onto the mag, andΒ I feel this is an underused grip style, given how it does allow for speedier reloads, especially if the mag release is near the thumb. Overall a very unique design, one I probably wouldn't have thought of myself, well done again.

Thanks very much for the insight and words
The carry handle was originally just a solid block with a rail on top, but it made it look too spartan. So I turned back to my old favorite, the FAMAS for a straighter carry handle. Almost used the one from my A-6B/S-32, but it didn't look quite right
The 6.5 in this one, while used in an assault rifle, uses a smaller amount of propellant around it, so there's a little less kick.

Meet my little friend! Plus I read all the other comments and I feel like this needs some comedy into it
A ninja and a cop walk into a bar and they see a gremlin short minutes later that very same bar is on fire the rest is not caring and both of the them are gone with a couple of laughs and the ninja is missing a leg THE END. DUMMMM. DUMMMM DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I quite like this! It looks like a rather futurey take on the MP7.

Couple of problems I see with this design. Β A) because it fires a full rifle round, if it is the size of a submachine gun then it will have a ridiculous recoil. Β B) the German MP-40 from WW II was similarly configured and had magazine feed problems because soldiers were mistakenly using the magazine as a foregrip instead of the magazine well.
other than that, looks pretty cool, although it looks like it's just screaming for bull pup configuration

Thanks
The round itself (6.5x20mm), while used in an assault rifle, in this uses a smaller amount of propellant. The round designation, in this case T315, is in regard to just the bullet. The HTIP that wraps around it and is layered at the base can change between weapons using the same round, so this one will have less kick than the KEV-65 assault rifle.
As for using the magazine as a grip, I should probably clear that up a little. Only your outer fingers (ring and pinkie) are liable to be in contact with the magazine, while your index and middle are around the mag well, and your thumb rests on the receiver. It's similar to how some might hold an AR-15 design.Β

Oh, ok. Β Just the way you wrote it made it sound like it used a full fledged rifle round

The round is classed as a rifle round, despite only being 1mm longer than a parabellum, but it's closer to a pistol bullet. The rifle it was developed for was designed for space combat where no air resistance = no drop in muzzle velocity, meaning a big bullet isn't needed so much. The only difference between the two is that the Gremlin is using a reduced propellant load
