TS. Points taken. As stated, the MP-5 is not my first choice and you have brought up about every situation (multiple engagements and distant targets) that push auto fire to its breaking point, ESPECIALLY for the LEOs that do not get the ammuntion or other resources to maintain a high degree of profeciency.

That choice of platform is usually dictated by factors other than "what is the best weapon to kill people" IE: concealability or reduced signature. Preaching......choir, I know, but there are those that read this and wonder "why would he carry that gun if he did not think it was the best gun"?

Sub-guns are a step above pistols when planning to get in a fight. Carbines and Battle rifles reign supreme.

I ALWAYS bring a carbine to Wal-mart (or Haji-mart for that matter). Everyone knows that.

Good discussion

IMO LEO's should have assault rifles, they just don't need to employ them in the rock and roll mode.

Sub-guns should be fixed to three shot burst also, access the tgt and repeat if necessary.

Agree, good discussion.......


I'm going after those "double" thirty rd magazine users next.... saw them being employed on "Dallas SWAT", all I have is one question, WHY?
