If you cannot competently transition from the AR15/M4 platform to a SMG such as a MP5, M10 or whatever, you probably shouldn't be allowed to hold a SMG of any kind...ever.
The German army managed to field the G3 and the MP2 (Uzi) at the same time and nobody got confused even though they are probably more unrelated than any two weapon systems can be.
When the FBI, most SWAT teams and just about every other law enforcement agency transitioned from the MP5 to the M4 nobody was complaining that the manual of arms was different and that they can't understand the new rifle/carbine.
If cops can do it, the military can do it.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
