The sports bar, Jackson s Hole

Whoa, is it a gay sports bar?!

"Old as dirt"??? Actually, it's one of the later SMGs in common use, even if it's 40-50 yrs old.

Wrong cap, that "A" should be a "W"

Hey I thought the writer was quoting officer numbnuts.

A submachine gun belonging to a Jefferson County SWAT officer was stolen out of the cab of his personal truck"

Is it his own personal weapon or dept. issue and if dept. issue, should he be hauling it around in his truck?

"You lost your what?!? Listen buddy, it took me years to become that incompetent!"

Its a WW2 design in a wimpy pistol calibre

That said, I want one.

But its such a piece of crap as an urban room clearer. its bulky and large and under powered and slow..

Its a fine weapon I just wonder why even our cops use "restricted" fire power?

Of course 650 rpm vice 1200 rpm is academic with a 30 rd mag (I made up the #s)

And beyond our cops rights why are "We" restricted?

At any rate the guy was a doofus to leave his high buck MP5 in the truck

WW2? It's from the 60's. It's sort of from the CETME design, which was in prototype stage in WW2, in basic appearance, but the 9mm subgun didn't come on the scene til the 60's. I've never shot one, but I love to shoot subguns, and have fired Thompsons, MP-40, PPSh-41, Beretta M-38, Reising, and a couple more. I'd rather have a shotgun in an urban setting, and a real rifle outdoors, but SMGs are so frigging fun to shoot.

The MP5 is fun to shoot.

[mylife]

Well as you said the cetme design was from WW2

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

LMAO, I cant quit.

That is what happens when you have progressive liberals making laws, taking guns from law abiding citizens. London has more shootings per capita than NYC. And there no one is allowed to carry even police except on special circumstances.

[common tater]

And his finger is on the trigger, not along side of the guard!!

[philman_36]

Just great! And when this weapon shows up on a crime scene the gun control banshees will be screeching from every housetop!
See...see...nobody should have them, not even cops, 'cause they might fall into the wrong hands!

Hey, I can dream that the worm might turn.

[philman_36]

BANG

If that image in post #9 isn't PhotoShopped, well, then... actually, words fail me.

If one needed more proof that "you can't fix stupid", look no further. It appears that rule is in full effect even when an individual is one of the "anointed" inhabiting one of America's many, often-unconstitutional alphabet-soup agencies.

Cops having full auto weapons while civilians can't

Yes you can. Read here... http://www.jobrelatedstuff.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=17&t=199928

I hate to think what a criminal could do with that weapon.

Nothing that a criminal couldn't do with any other weapon. It isn't the weapon it's the criminal

[from occupied ga]

The problem isn't that you can't get one, the problem is that the supply is restricted to firearms made before the 1986 civilian ban. This causes three problems, First the price is excessive and outrageous, and second sooner or later they'll wear out and third, you can't get the newer designs ie no M249 for you. If you want a SAW you're stuck with the M-60.

Words don't fail me. That move should be taught to all BATFE agents and drilled daily.
