I'd wanted TWO of them on advance party.
(NOW you know why people assumed I was crazy, a warhawk, or both..)

I'd also wanted something shortrange and quiet. Like an mp5sd2 or 3. Maybe a silenced M-4. Artillery advance party had a nasty habit of walking right into the opfor before they even knew we were there. I got rather nervous about that myself. (Even though it was only annual training and I never saw combat, I still wanted to be able to stay invisible or at least be able to nail whoever we ran into with overwhelming firepower in as small a space as possible.)

I put that wish list out there and got told, "Keller, you're crazy." Usually said with either a respectful smile, or an outright look of "he's lost it".
Oddly, I was never referred to by my rank. I wonder why. *hmm.... head scratch, head scratch, shrug*

MP5SD's are very underpowered, since they use a ported barrel to drop standard grain bullets subsonic. Mostly they are great for dogs and streetlights. Against people, they are iffy.

There are 10mm versions the feds use (MP-5/10) that have special subsonic heavy bullets, fired through an external can suppressor.
