Magpul did design a real steel version of the PDR to sell to the US Army but the military wasn't interested in a compact PDW weapon. As a result Magpul PTS inherited the concept and is now turning it out as an airsoft toy.
I suspect that the PDR will be a "love / hate" AEG much like the P90. To me the PDR has the benefits of a compact form factor like a P90 but can use standard M4 mags which is a huge advantage. It is interesting to note in the early reviews that the inner barrel of the PDR is about as long as a typical airsoft M4 inner barrel.
