Most of the people posting here seem to forget that Firepower! lives outside the U.S. in a part of the world with very different circumstances than most of us posting here. I can see a use for full-auto in certain situations, a Katrina-like situation where you do actually have roving gangs of thugs and virtually no law enforcement is one as suppressing fire and area-denial may actually be useful tactics in such an environment. Remember, such situations are not so uncommon in other parts of the world. Where I disagree with Firepower! is his choice of full-auto weapons. Something in an intermediate rifle caliber such as 5.56x45 NATO or 5.45x39 Soviet (eg. AKS74U, Sig 552, or Colt M4) would be a better choice IMHO, as with the right ammunition (i.e. light JHP) it will not penetrate walls significantly more than a 9mm subgun but does offer significantly better terminal performance and range.
