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.

You need that firepower when you are out drinking at Jackson's Hole.
