Meh...
A 10mm MP-5 would rock. Pittsburgh was one of the
last major PD's to dump 9mm MP-5's, in favor of the AR carbine, because of their ineffectiveness against barriers. Here's the day THAT ended.

It was a Saturday morning - I was sitting right here at my home office computer, watching it unfold on local TV. I
SAW a cop come running up, with a CASE of ammo, during the standoff. Cops put 993 rds. of 9mm into the brick house, with NO effect.
In fact, the badguy was wounded in the INITIAL exchange between he & the officers at the door. And while everyone went apepoopy over the fact he had a WASR, he killed all 3 cops with the Savage 12 gauge (friend of mine was then, and is now a retired, Vice Lt. with Pittsburgh PD and told me this - THAT factoid didn't come out 'til the trial).
Do I plan on frontal assaulting any holed-up badguys any time soon? Nope. Do I live in an old steel-framed, brick house? YES. Yes I
do. So am I worried about over-penetration by 5.56 rounds inside my house? Nope.
9mm MP-5's & Uzi's looked AWESOME in "
Under Siege." I think I'll leave them there. In 1992.
