Machine Gun, Would you carry one if you could?
|
Posted 5 months ago In recent discussions many have touched on the fact that dozens of other countries police officers are armed with submachine guns, or even assualt rifle type machine guns such as the MP5, MP7, M4-16 series, AK47 types and so on. If You, the individual officer were given full permission to carry one of these weapons on your person would you choose to do so and what type would it be? Do keep in mind this is " on your person" meaning it "may" have to replace your current sidearm. Everything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing at all. |

| Posted 5 months ago I myself would like to have an MP5 chamberd in .40S&W. I'm not completly sure if H&K ever offered this weapon in a PDW size or not, but that would be my choice. Everything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing at all. |

I have never heard of a K series in anything but a 9mm. The UMP is in 9mm .40 cal and .45... My Pick would be the MP7... Small, light weight, 950 RPM, and the 4.6 X 30 mm round.. lol

|
| Posted 5 months ago My department has 3 M-16's fully auto. One per shift. I go to carry the one on my shift by default. I like it. I can handle anything that life throws at me~ I may not be able to handle it well, or correctly, gracefully, with finesse, or expediently ~ But I will handle it. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago Colt commando M-4. Yeeee HAAWWW! |
|
|
| Posted 5 months ago thought we were talking about machine guns? I doubt any LEO's are carrying machine guns but I would if they'd let me but for now I'll stick with my M-16 KSP494

|
|
| Posted 5 months ago Each Full-Timer carries a M-4 and chief caries a M-16 (Full Auto) the Reserves carry Mini-14's |
|
| Posted 5 months ago I wouldn't carry an SMG in lieu of my sidearm, for practicality and portability reasons. That said, I wouldn't mind having either an HK MP5 or a Thompson SMG issued to me as a back-up weapon in case I encountered a situation for which my service pistol was inadequate! |
|
| Posted 5 months ago my commando,,, not full auto though we went with 3rnd burst............... What about grenades? M-203 maybe. |
|
|
| Posted 5 months ago a Colt commando, meaning the 11 and half inch barrel, I'd like that as well. I keep thinking back to seeing the German Polizi with their MP5's and 7's. Those boys DO NOT play around!! Everything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing at all. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago Call me old fashion, but if you've ever held a Thompson, there would be no question. put me down for one of those. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago Well I carried a 240B and a M-249 while over there. But I would have to pick an MP5 in .40 S&W! Used it once and fell in love. Lightweight and compact! |

|
| Posted 5 months ago I'd love to have an MP5 in a .40 caliber, to go along with my shotgun and AR! As far as something, like a 240 or a 249, thats a bit much! lol |
|
| Posted 5 months ago I'd perfer to have a HK 416 (or 417) over a pistol caliber subgun anyday for serious social problems!! |
|
|
| Posted 5 months ago H&K MP5-K would be sweet, I understand that Washington State may be carrying these. KSP494

|
| Posted 5 months ago Yes...I would...any kind would be nice....I love my Remington 870, but I would love to have an M16, AR15, or anything by H&K.... "Show class, have pride, and display character.

| Posted 5 months ago KSP494 said: MP-5K is cool but a bit short in sight radius. It's good for diplomatic protection but no advantage over a pistol for pentration through body armor or other barriers. I still think a rifle round is a much better option if available for patrol. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago Well back when I was an Air Force Security Police I carried an M-16. After I got out of the Air Force I went to work as a Police Officer at an airport, I always thought it would be kind of cool to be able to carry one there too.

| Posted 5 months ago trace1 said: Maybe you could work as a German Polizei at an Airport. They were carrying MP-5's years ago...... |
|
| Posted 5 months ago If I was carrying one as a replacement to my issued sidearm, I would go with either an MP5-PDW, or an MP7...something small. I am issued am M16A3, but it rarely comes out of the car. My privately owned M4 is used quite a bit for entries, etc... Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago I carry a select fire m-14 in the car now, but given the choice I would love to have a MP5/10 in 10mm for close quarter work. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago I like the Aero mini-gun SUV mount idea, myself. For a sub-gun the MP5 is very controllable and would be a nice addition to a patrol car. M4 is probably even better, considering that recent penetration tests show it is safer in an urban environment from the problem of shoot-through.

| Posted 5 months ago CHIEF601 said: Yes, sir ... gotta tell ya, I have shot most of these weapons. Including a Thompson, Navy edition from the 1920's. But one gun no one has mentioned that I would consider changing out with my current sidearm (which is a Sig 220). It would be the Glock 18. This is a 'select fire' pistol that can go FA with a flick of the finger. I have shot one of these bad boys and man, they are fun. Might be tough to gualify on one but it is a pocket machine gun. All you need are extra mags and you are 10-8 ... It will fit in your standard holster. The only clue something is different about this gem is the little dial switch on the slide. It's legit and the one I handled was made in Argentina. "We should remember that one man is much the same as another, and he is Best, who is trained in the severest school."
