I ask again. What cops have machine guns? MP5/M16/m4 aren't machine
guns.


BATF would disagree with that.
Certainly there are AR variants that are SA only but they are not
M16A1's or M4s and the MP5 is certainly a machine gun. I have fired
all but the M4.

The ATF considers a shoestring a machine gun. Since I'll never deal
with the ATF, I'll continue to use the Army definition.
Besides, I've read there have been two deaths in 80 years from legally
owned AR/SMG fire. Don't know the details.
Some SWAT has AR/SMG, but I haven't read of them using full auto.
The cops have many more constraints than the military, and SWAT members
are trained much better than the typical grunt.
