Unprofor, That was the gist of the discussion (there was also a rumour that the latest delivery of the H&K MP5s to North America ended up training law enforcement officers on a range at 10 metres)

The rumour of 10 meters is probably true. I think you will find far too many police officers are anything but good shots and shooting at distance might compromise the lives of the innocent. A recent confrontation in BC with police had a "trained" mountie(s) fire 11 rounds at a moving vehicle that had just run over or was about to run over a spike belt and one round hit the side mirror, the other 10 completely missed which is rather scary, but what do I know. The mountie was shooting a AR15.

Talked to my SIL about the MP5, said they did shooting drills from 1 meter distance and out. They were purchased for clearing a building and nothing else. They did drills up to 25 meters and further and at times 75/80/100 meters but the gun was not intended to be used at that distance. I have shot at the range they use and there is a gong at 300 meters, he told me he could hit it with the MP5 but would not try that very often. The gong was around 16X16 inches max.
