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