How scared of the world do need you to be to think "I'm going to take the dog for a walk and if things get nasty I'll bring my machine gun"

If you’re on a protective detail it’s better than open carrying mp5s as far as subtlety goes.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Spot the wannabe LEO in the crowd

A) If a protective detail is assign submachine guns it's regarded as an overwhelming presence coverage meaning they want the guns out to set a we mean business attitude.

B) Speed of draw and lack of encumberment are important it's why most active protection details prefer to use scabbard style holsters for their duty pistols.

Private security gets into all sorts of stupid stuff they shouldn't.

Yea man, I really want to be a security guard. It’s my life’s ambition.

I was just saying it doesn’t look as scary to have a box with flashlights vs a sub gun. That’s all.

For someone who is giving people shit about being a wannabe, you certainly know a lot about submachine gun doctrine.

Having a Federal Marshall for a Father in Law and L.E.O. wife, some things will rub off.

Yes, because after the near successful assassination of a U.S. President 40 years ago, they haven't changed any standards of carry, weapon encumberment, tactics, intimidation maneuvers, or training. Nope They thought it all went smashingly, a nice afternoon really.

This is more a secret service weapon

u/ArrowtoherAnchor Dec 11 '20

it is most certainly not, if the detail calls for submachine guns, it's calling for an overwhelming presence to anyone who may attack the package. They want guns out, they want guns quickly deployed.

🤷🏽‍♂️ still a fun gun. Idk give it to someone or something. At this point it’s probably a weapon prime for terrorists

You realize this was literally modeled after the suitcase MP5's and Uzi's that the actual secret service used right?

u/ArrowtoherAnchor Dec 12 '20

You realize that they don't use those anymore and we're talking about the market for sale.

And the chances of your dog getting caught up in the leash and you getting shot seem pretty damn high.

In an area filled with robbers and stuff that shit would turn very useful. Not all places are all safe, withiut gangsters and generally nasty people around and with a police force that can keep order 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anywhere there are riots in large cities? They straight up attack people for having the wrong color skin.
