Harry the submachine gun was not developed for urban warfare. However it DOES work well there as you say!

Only the squad leader generally carried an MP40 in the German units. Everyone else carried rifles.

I have heard the the GI that carried the BAR was a favorite target because of his fire power, true ?

All fully auto, all you need is a 300 dollar permit, or whatever it's called. They are illegal in a few states with high crime rates, but not Oklahoma where I live.

I'll concede some of that, although it does not explain Connecticut, Michigan, California or New York, for that matter, where there are plenty of wide open spaces outside the liberal run cities, yet the entire state must suffer the anti MG legislation thanks to liberal goverments.
In the vain of previous posts featuring gun bling and impressive gun collections, on a Luger site, I bring it all together with this photo of Herbie Woodend, the long time curator of MoD's Pattern Room, holding a blinged out long barreled Luger. At the time of his death, Herb probably possesed the most profound general firearms knowledge on earth..
