@olives wait... cops in the USA dont even carry sub machine guns (fully-automatic guns of any kind actually)... I am quite surprised to hear in the UK they carry these casually. My guess is they are using the term wrong and they mean a carbine.

@freemo @olives I don't know about the UK, but in the 70's neigborhoo cops in West Berlin carried MP5's, certainly a submachinegun

@Pjcoyle

Well back then berlin was occupied territory, so a bit of an exception in that regard.
