I think they have a place if you have enough disposable income. It's way down on the list, but there is a place.

If you were pretty well stocked on ammo and magazines for your rifles would you spend your limited funds on additional rifle related items or would you spend the money on ammo and mags for a Class 3 Subgun if you only had a small quantity of subgun mags and ammo on hand?

I am very short on mags and ammo for it. Should I rethink this? It wouldn't hurt to have a few more mags on hand, and pick up ammo as you go along. |

Not unless its about the only gun you have. I own a MAX-11, which is a great competition subgun and a fun range toy, but it is pretty darned near the last gun I would grab from my safe if SHTF... maybe I'd take it over a .22LR pistol, but that's about it. I shoot my semi-auto AR15s and my pistols faster and more effectively than my subgun.

low power, piss poor range, horrible accuracy if a open bolt and chews up ammo at a alarming rate
yeah you can burst and even hit doubles and singles with a educated finger but whats the point when there is much better armament out there |
|
I guess it would depend on what you concreter a SHTF......Total metdown of everthing? Or just having to go to work or visit a dangeruos area with no police support? A MAC-10 Mini Uzi MP5-K etc will hide in places where you don't want to walk around like your ready for full on combat....with your rifle at the ready.

I think an MP5 would be a pretty sweet HD weapon. The price and potential legal issues make it a no-go for me, though.

Its funny ya mention that I went to a MG shoot that was running IPSC 3 gun and SMG matches on the side the day I was there was just a SMG match day my bud with a MP5 was doing bang up rental business and wouldn't let me borrow it so I asked if I could shoot my limited class pistol for shits and giggles the said sure and kinda laughed ...I won LOL this was however back when I was fucking hardcore shooting 2-3 matches a week |

If you gotta kill everybody quietly then a suppressed SMG is tough to beat i gotta say, so yes i would say they are a very practical weapon. Or if you just want a lot of firepower under your jacket. Works great for CQB being a compact and powerful weapon.
|

Depends a lot on the SMG. I think MP5's and their derivatives are still practical, especially compared to a MAC (not counting stupid gun laws). An MP5SD is extremely quiet, and a K is concealable.

A smg is more like a small shotgun than a handgun or rifle. 3-4 147gr 9mm at 650-1200 rpm is alot more power than a single or double pistol hit. |

SMG=Compact, low recoil, lightweight.
Arm the kids and tell them not to shoot until they see the whites/grays/yellows of the zombies eyes. |

It's sort of in the calculations......as it can be. Mac-10's, Uzi's (in theory), others......something that can be assigned to a car, something that can be given to untrained members because they are small, have a large capacity....................and aren't automatic.
That's the catch. As a SMG, things line that are just too expensive and probably shouldn't be given to the untrained. As SA's, however, the equation changes. _____________________________________________________________ ("Daddy would've gotten us Uzi's!"––Samantha after practicing on a car and her Mac-10 jams a few times.

Outside that range, you still get rifle wound profiles and penetration through soft ballistic armor. You also get the flat shooting trajectory of a rifle cartridge combined with that closed bolt that you mentioned for a weapon system that is easily capable of making hits out to 500m. Show me an Uzi that can hit a man sized target consistently at 500m (without the use of tripod, T&E, an artillery sight and aiming poles). The Uzi is somewhat more compact. Less so when compared to a 10" SCAR or Sig 556, or other piston rifles. Still, you are correct. The Uzi is more compact. Unfortunately it is not a compact as a pistol. Yes, you can engage targets a bit further away with a subgun than you can a pistol, but they are nearly the size of a rifle without the power and range of a rifle. Again, they are not useless, but their utility is very limited. |

Also anything beyond 100 yrds shouldn't be a direct threat, and if it is you'd better avoid it....in SHTF anyway. Your going to be dealing with street thugs and hungry/cazy people in SHTF......avoid any trouble you can. The main advantge of the SMG in SHTF [imo] is compact effective firepower IF you need it. If I have to carry food, medical supplies, ammo etc....I myself want a small package.....with more firepower than a handgun. Now all that said....I don't have a SMG for SHTF, I have AR15 based carbine. But I wouldn't turn my nose up at a UZI or MAC if I had one.....actually I love the MAC10 in 9mm. |

If the SHTF, a pistol is better than a kinife, a SMG is better than a pistol, a carbine (M4) is better than an SMG, etc.
If you have lots of 9mm ammo, then an SMG instead of a pistol, or in addition to a pistol, may be a good choice, depending on what situation you are faced with. |
