But then smaller rounds are easier to get on target than big dirty harry type
.44 mag rounds. I feel like 9mm fits my bill. I can comfortably shoot it and
get good follow up shots (not quite double taps) in the same group.

Likely the SMG is meant as the role of support weapon in a combat situation.
Likely they've converted to something newer and nicer. Closed bolt smg's are
expensive and hard to get.

Someday I'll be getting a sterling. That will be my SMG of choice based on
reliability, attainability and cost. A closed Bolt MG5 can be had, but they
are way too $$$ for my needs and desires.

Nickel plated jacket I think. They look nicer than the copper ones and I like
the load in the gun. The 125 grain loads seem to be good. I was trying the 147
grain loads but I got occasional fail to feeds.

It seems to make sense for a home defense weapon. One of the contexts of home
defense is that if you stop the burglar, what do you do with him if he
surrenders? The bayonet seemed the best way of making him stay put until the
cavalry gets there.
