All of you justifying a US military takeover of Greenland have lost your minds. Lay off the testosterone supplements and MAGA media.

300BO with subs and suppressor. Ballistically similar to 45ACP at short range (superior at longer ranges) with less recoil than a blowback action. Hopefully allow me to talk to my wife and kids and cops immediately afterwards without temporary or permanent hearing damage.

My only concern with subs (which I have not yet tried), do they still have enough gun gas to reliably cycle the weapon. Break break - what are others using for home defense and why?

Yes. Were you as concerned when Biden openly said that yes, the USA would would defend Taiwan if China attacks it...even though it has literally been US policy for decades to specifically not say that? This space is messy. There is no room for double standards based on emotional responses to the assclowns in charge. Are you sure you're using the same yard stick with Trump that you did with other presidents?

I think it was 2013 or so I first flew with the Aussie E-7. 13 years later and here we are. Screwed indeed.

So even with this funding and the fact it’s already flying missions with allies we can’t field one until 2032 ? Our process is screwed!

Less awful than saying the border is secure when thousands brazenly crossed daily for months under the eye of LE told to let it happen

If you’re looking for a smile-inducing range toy, consider a scorpion evo. I have a SBR’d one with only minor upgrades from factory, shoot 147gr subs out of it, suppressed…obviously. It is a shitload of fun, relatively cheap, and the primary gun every friend/kid I have over to shoot wants to come back to. Seriously, they shoot a $2.5K AR and then ask if they can shoot the scorpion again, ha! Seriously consider it and save a lot of money over buying a true MP5 for the same end result.

Sub rounds for the win…

I just watched this video on the PC-24. It does some pretty heavy lifting in advertising for the PC-24 but dammit it does make me wish we had these to replace the T-1. I would have loved to tried landing on SPRO type fields, grass fields, compacted dirt, etc. This could be adapted into a syllabus that really gets everyone ready for real world scenarios where we might be island hopping or landing on unprepared fields after a hurricane/earthquake before the Air Force spends more money teaching this in their MWS. I know this is about the budget but if the training came first, this would be a great trainer.

So threatening violation of Senate approved treaties is fine, just not actually doing it?

That's not the physics at play. The bullet is its fastest at the muzzle. The difference is the SD has a ported barrel to bleed gas and energy so it makes the 115s subsonic at the muzzle. My Thompson Machine 10-22 integrally suppressed barrel is the same way. The distance of the target doesn't matter. You don't hear the crack of the 115s into the dirt from the other two simply because the pressure wave doesn't get back to your ear. It's still there. Porting clearly visible here to make 115s subsonic:

It’s a cool little jet, the block 20 brings a lotta capes for the money. The right jet for a lot of Allies and some missions in the AF. Vaporware but a good approximation of a stealthish FA-50

This video does a better job of showing it, I've seen it in person. Note when he shoots short and the rounds hit the dirt you don't get the supersonic "crack" but when he shoots the longer range target the bullet with the MP5 and the MP5K both allow the bullet to accelerate supersonic and thus a much louder noise signature. With the MP5SD 115 and 124 grain stay subsonic and the noise signature is GREATLY reduced. If you are using an FRT and this is a range toy you probably don't care. I use the SD and my MPX for home defense and sound is a big issue.

Actually deploying troops to invade and occupy a nation without the approval of congress. Ordering our departure from NATO without the approval of the Senate. Unprovoked sanctioned assassination of one of our major enemy's heads of state. Everything else is just that: realpolitik. International relations are messy and gross, but necessary. Soft power is worthless unless it's backed by hard power.

What do you mean by this? Rounds don't accelerate once they leave the barrel. Are you saying if you use a lighter ammo for the longer range? I'm thinking about an FRT because I think the MP5 platform is one of the most obvious choices for an FRT. So this will be a range toy, since there's no universe where I use an FRT for home defense. My biggest concern with the MP5 versus the mp5k is that the MP5 ends up being remarkably similar to the MCX Rattler. As I grow my collection I'm trying to bring in guns that offer a different shooting experience, not just a different name or caliber. I'm also very average sized (that's what she said!), so the mp5k doesn't present the same ergonomics for me as it does for someone with a bigger build and gorilla hands. 😂🤣 I think with the vertical foregrip and a shorty suppressor, the mp5k will be a hoot to hand to someone at the range with a 30 round magazine of 9 mm. And I won't have to cry as I listen to the money flying out of the barrel at FRT speeds.

God bless little European Texas

I don't care for the MP5K. Yes the stock extends but it feel like a front heavy pistol until you fully extend. MP5SD for the win. The quietest gun I've ever shot which is a huge consideration if you are using this for home defense. The MP5 and MP5K are quiet up close but if you shoot beyond 20' feet the rounds will go supersonic and greatly increase the noise signature. Break Break - On day 12 of waiting for my electronic Form 4s to clear...so much for a faster process.

Either a SD clone (hide the suppressor attachment under the handguard) OR.. Make it look like the Iranian embassy SAS guns.

Of course we're zero help, but if I had to pick one child, er, MP5, it'd be the shorter one. 9mm isn't going to need the longer barrel. The increase is minimal and I'd rather save the several inches for the suppressor and keep it more compact. I think Zenith has a couple shorties. 4 and 5 or something. Between those, I would take the longer 5", but not the 8-9" options.

Realpolitik guys: What's the line in your mind? At what point is it just too far?

Bingo.
