Still, its small size, light weight, and high cyclic rate make it one of the best guns around for clearing a room, as long as there’s nothing in it you don’t mind hitting, like hostages.

I prefer the UZI, MP5 if it was in my price range. The UZIs really skyrocketed in value, as did all Class IIIs. I still favor my Berreta 1200s with the 18" barrels; 64 .32 caliber slugs in about 3-seconds is impressive. I've had cops at the range try to buy them from me since they were discontinued.

I’m gonna have to second this with a slight modification. Sawed off with hip stock(Otta make it through the tribulation with that.).

I think in Australia that a sawn-off shotgun is an illegal weapon. Is that the weapon you are talking about?

BTW, does anyone else on this forum remember Steve McQueen's 'gun' in The Bounty Hunter? Wasn't that some sort of modified shotgun?

The U.S have rather strict laws regarding shotguns as well, or so I was told. Think that sawn-off shotguns are just as illegal there as they are in Australia and Europe.

I believe it can be bought legally with a butt-stock in America, but it aint cheap.

I don´t think an average of 250 shots fired a year since 2000, qualifies as "many" people. Mind you, that was "shots fired", not "amount of people killed".

The police have shot and killed around 10 people or so since 2001, starting with the execution style shooting of two car thieves in Tilst, remember? That's a lot for danish standards.

Probably not the right place to discuss this, but "execution style" killing? I´m pretty sure that if someone tried to deliberately run me over with a car and I had a gun on me, I´d use it. But of course, it´s easier to sit on the sidelines...

Rocket launcher, like on Halo.

I dont have one, though.

The halo pistol is better imo... Although personally I could go for the gravity gun from halflife 2 but this is probably off topic.

I have heard that the new HK XM8 is the cat's ass, but since I have never seen one in person and will likely never touch one, I'll go with the M1A1 Thompson Submachinegun. One of my training NCO's when I was stationed at Fort Carson was a gun collector, he had one, and brought it in with a number of other weapons when we went to the firing range. Let us all take a rip with it, it was GREAT
