TS, I don't think I have written anything you didn't all ready know. So I am curious about why you asked the question.

Incommin, I have asked some current LEOs about this. There seem to be a view that the "bad guys" are using full autos more and more and also with the terrorist situation, they feel that LEO needs equal capabilities to respond those threats if they arised.
Full autos would be added to the LEO's bag of tools should he need arise. Some of the discussion is; 1) should the rifle be carried in the trunk or a special carrier like the shot gun? 2) should it replace the shotgun? 3) what is the agency's need, or who should have one.
As you brought out, a full auto generally does not fit into normal LEO operational goals.
I also think it is a boy thing, to have the bigest and badest toy even when there is little need or use for it.
