The 9mm is capable of making hits at 200m all day long. Problem is, few would attempt such a shot and even fewer are trained to shoot or capable of shooting that well. The operative word here is "Maximum" range.

I'll tell you what, I would not stand at 201m and thumb my nose at ANY person armed with an MP-5. For that matter, I'd worry at 400, 800, or even 1000. Remember that the 9mm bullet can travel over a mile. Full-auto fire can be "Walked" onto a target or target area.

You don't think that the K-98 can reliably hit anything at 1200 meters do you? A squad of riflemen could probably volley-fire their guns at that range against a position and accomplish something though.
