Actually the LAPD SWAT officer was firing an MP-5 and he was not suppressing the guy, he was engaging on automatic into the street under the car in order to skip the rounds into the target. he was extremely successful, striking the robber in the inner thigh where the robber had no IIIA coverage like he had on the front of his legs and causing a femoral bleed which incapacitated him almost instantly.

Automatic fire as a primary method of engagement with 9mm sub-guns is widely taught. The lack of terminal effects and controlability the MP-5 series on auto lends itself to automatic fire. That being said, I'll take a 5.56 on semi-auto any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

HK training division teaches full auto and burst fire in their Sub-gun course as well, Team Sereant.
