A semi auto (only) MP5 was known as the H&K 94. It had a 16" barrel to conform with US laws. I don't see what the hub bub is all about, LEOs around here have been carrying variants of the AR15 family of rifles (mostly CAR-15s) in their crusiers for years. They use them, along with the more traditional M870 riot guns. A lot of times around here, you are your own back up.....

9mm carbines are a lot of fun to shoot. While I don't have a HK, I do have a Marlin Camp 9. No recoil, and hits a lot harder than a .22

I want an MP5, but there's so many other guns I want before it.
Re: RCMP reissued Heckler & Koch MP5
I've shot a lot of MP5s and they are very nice weapons. I can see the logic of issuing something with more punch then a pistol, better accuracy then a shot gun and less (over) penatration then an assault rifle. Just hope they receive the proper training needed to use such weapons reguardless of full or semi auto.

Re: RCMP reissued Heckler & Koch MP5
The MP5 is selective-fire as issued. I used to train police officers on this weapon. It is easy to control on full-auto. I have seen officers keep a full 30-round magazine, myself included, in a 2" circle at 7 yards on automatic. I guess they don't trust their officers up north.
