  1. I could not catch how you had the sling you have is put around the gun was it just twisted around the front of the gun and then the back part around the buffer tube thank you

  2. I know what an oxymoron is. I'm not sure what I said that lead you to believe that I don't know what it is.

    Absolutely, I may use a term like "semi-automatic SMG", but I'm not a pedantic anal retentive douche either. I realize it's the best option at this time (you've given no better, so "Iunno" is still what your argument boils down to) to explain a semi-automatic carbine designed to be fired from the shoulder and chambered for a cartridge designed for a pistol.

  3. It's generally not important to mention the caliber when referencing a class of weapon. For instance, if you mention a "sub machine gun", it's understood that you're referencing a shoulder-fired, short-barreled rifle that's chambered for cartridges designed for pistols. In fact, the only other way to identify an MP5SF is a "semi-automatic, shoulder-fired, short-barreled rifle that's chambered for cartridges designed for pistols."

    I'll personally stick to semi-automatic SMG.

  4. So how would you differentiate between a 5.56 semi-automatic carbine and a .45 ACP carbine without the need to mention caliber? This is important because sometimes you want to reference a class of weapon without being so specific. In this case, Semi-automatic submachine gun is the ideal choice as a semi-automatic rifle could reference anything from an M16 to an MP5SF, but referencing the class as a submachine gun limits it to only carbines that fire small cartridges.

  5. Caliber certainly does affect what a rifle is. The only difference between a submachine gun and a machine gun is the caliber it fires. A SAW could have a 6-inch barrel, and because it fires a 5.56, it's still a machine gun. A submachine gun could have a 16-inch barrel, and because it fires a .45 ACP, it's still a submachine gun.

    A submachine gun solely references the size of cartridge used to differentiate it from other carbines.

  6. If the MP5SF was a submachine gun it would be a machine gun under the NFA, it is not it is an SBR. It is a semi auto rifle, caliber does not affect what a rifle is, if its semi auto, shoulder fired and has a rifled barrel its a semi auto rifle, says me and every source i have ever seen.

  7. "an automatic firearm using small-caliber ammunition and fired from the shoulder or hip." – Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary "A lightweight automatic gun that shoots pistol ammunition, is usually fired from the shoulder or hip, and often has the capacity for shooting single rounds." – American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, and on h&ks website i cannot find it. Only on HK Tactical Defense Systems . com which does not look like its made by h&k

  8. Wikipedia and every other source has that definitions, and h&k is german, they called them machine pistols for a long time. "The submachine gun was born from the desire of war planners to provide the basic infantryman with the voluminous firepower of a machine gun with the portability of a pistol in the early part of the 20th Century " – militaryfactoryDOTcom, "The submachine gun is an automatic or selective-fired shoulder weapons that fire pistol-caliber ammunition" – worldDOTgunsDOTru

  9. I'm sorry, but Wikipedia is wrong. When using Wikipedia, always check the source. Its basing that definition on a Soviet era Russian standards manual of what a submachine gun is. It is seriously outdated.

    Go to HKs site, and look for the MP5SF — you won't find it under Rifles & Carbines, you find it under submachine guns. The fundamental difference here is that it's still not firing intermediate cartridges. It is also not a pistol because it's fired from the shoulder.

  10. Yes it does, when its semi auto it is just a semi auto rifle/carbine. Now I'm not trying to be rude here but for something to be a submachine gun it must be a machine gun (the legal definition of one) or it is just a semi auto carbine. "A submachine gun is an automatic carbine, designed to fire pistol cartridges. It combines the automatic fire of a machine gun with the cartridge of a pistol." – wikipedia.

  11. MP5SFs… Semi-automatic only version of the MP5. Or the semi-automatic only UMP. No, a gun does not need to be fully automatic in order to be an SMG.

  12. It is not full automatic therefore not an SMG, i don't understand how you cannot understand that for something to be a submachine gun it must have full auto capability, this gun does not, hence not an SMG.

  13. @9o3 It's a Thomas & Betts case. It had some sort of power tool in it, I suppose. I snagged two of them before they went in the dumpster at work. My pistol just happened to fit! Be safe! John
