It seems like most government agencies have adopted a rifle-caliber weapon, but I saw a few MP5's in the NY manhunt photos.

I do. I have a RRAs 9mm AR. I use it for CQB training on steel and pepper poppers.
ETA: I have a Bumpfire lower for it as well. |

I worked hard in the early '90s to transition the SWAT teams that I was working with to dump the MP5's, etc...and go with M4's. No reason for pistol calibers and lot's of reasons not to.

Pa state police. A trooper ended a post bank robbery shoot out/car chase with a well placed shot to the driver with an MP5 (I was told) a few years ago south of Harrisburg on I83. Was awarded the PSP Medal of Valor.

Rifle caliber carbines are todays 'cool kid' toys, but for most, using a rifle caliber indoors is pretty pointless and can be rather detrimental. Pistol caliber carbines shine indoors and at typical outdoor defensive ranges, it is a shame that so many dismiss and even look down on them. But egos and low self-esteem often trump logic and rational thought.

Last time I checked St Louis city still has Beretta 9mm carbines to go with their 92Ds.

Then there is no way you can argue that a pistol round is better ballistically than a rifle round. Unless you've actually shot a short barreled AR indoors, in a small hallway or room with no earpro. It's so bad that it will make you unconsciously hesitate to pull that trigger again. Well into the realm of permanent hearing loss. A PCC (e.g. MP5) sucks too, but can be tolerated. It can also be suppressed very easily, where a short AR cannot ever be made hearing safe. Short AR's are the internet's clown shoes. Recognize it for what it is. |
