Except cops don't normally have to fight their way into or out of a target site or complex.
MP-5s and MP5SDs were no longer the deal because ... (pick one):
they shoot pistol bullets;
an SD is the equivalent of shooting .380s;
I can afford to own a carbine.
If you know you're going to fight inside a building why not use a suppressed sub?
MP5SDs were a 1970s solution. MP5A2s with an add on can shooting 147s are the way to go.
As for PDs, I think when the FBI went from MP5s to M4s based on the materials tests, everyone followed along. Also carbines finally got down to MP5 size platforms.
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.
