I was perusing a recent issue of Soldier of Fortune when I spotted a graphic detailing the equipment a Delta Force commando would be carrying in Afghanistan. The rifle this soldier in the graphic was carrying was an MP5 (duh). The specs that the graphic gave stated that it fired 9mm ammunition and had an effective range of 200m.

That seems awful long for a 9mm. Even with subgun ammo. Can any body confirm this?
