You are talking about essentially SWAT team tactics- clearing buildings room by room. For that, the MP5 is great (or the UZI). But I'm talking about a real combat rifle with some range and a few extra foot-pounds of energy at 300 or 400 meters to take an enemy out of the fight. Not everything is CQB, even in Iraq.
I would hunt moose with an M14, but not with any of these varmint cartridges...

I love the 7.62/.308
You can hunt every type of game in North America with it.
Of course it depends on how much squirrel you want left...

For that, the MP5 is great (or the UZI).Actually, I've had the chance to fire the Uzi auto recreationally, and the MP-5 in a more 'professional' environment. Let me tell you, the Uzi SUCKS in comparison to the MP-5. The Uzi has a heavy internal bolt that, as it clangs around in there, totally messes up your aim point. The MP-5 is clean. Sweet. The delayed rolling-block makes it soooooo smooth.
The Uzi is also an ergonomic nightmare compared to the MP-5. You can't barely attach anything to the top of the Uzi, those STANAG mounts suck donkey genitalia. The grip of the Uzi is awkward at best.
In a pinch, grab an MP.
