I’m sure you’ll find more than a few MP5s in certain Special Forces’ weapons lockers.

I got to fire one of those a few years back (grease gun)...it was interesting.
Holding it, the construction didn’t seem all that impressive to me, but it was firing it that was most interesting...the rate of fire seemed very slow, but then I again, I had the opportunity to fire a SAW the same day, so just about anything is slow in comparison to THAT!
But I think having .45 slugs going downrange, albeit at a slower rate, far makes up for it...that can’t be good to be on the receiving end of that.

I got to fire a Thompson...that was a hoot.
I had automatic weapons envy after that!

Got about $30,000? Thanks to the republicans full auto is priced beyond most of us and limited to designs in production prior to 1986

I packed a Thompson or a Grease Gun on occasion while in Vietnam. Also, had a selector switch on my issue M-14.

Wrong. That amendment to the Firearm Owners Protection Act was passed on a voice vote over Republican objections, by a Democrat controlled congress.

The UMP has all the shooting ergonomics of a high end toaster oven. Stock is too long, trigger is amazingly heavy, magazines are long on the .40 and odd shaped on the 9mm.
It is really reliable, and easy to break down and clean. It is pretty accurate. I have a .40 cal at work and prefer my M-4 with a 10 barrel. Spare mag carriage and left handed issues are my biggest complaints.

Lol. Full auto on an M14 was one hell of a thing.
