Yes, that 1919 was pretty nice. Then there was the time they butchered up a 1928A1 semi-auto Thompson into a full auto "entry weapon" for a local sheriff who, I guess, had never heard of the H&K MP5. I've had my fair share of fun with full auto Thompsons and the MP5, although I can't say that I've kicked in a lot of doors in a Conga line...but still, my choice would not be the more difficult to control, more likely to penetrate people and then walls .45 ACP over the far more easily controlled, more accurate 9mm. A double or triple tap from the 9 will discourage the bad guy from continuing his anti-social behavior with as much authority as the .45 and be way more likely to go where it was intended.
My point is that the whole exercise was, IMHO a stupid waste of taxpayer money and an ill conceived project from the get-go. Put differently, it was a solution to a problem which did'nt exist. Then the other night we had them put together water cooled twin M-16's mounted on a small boat.
Of course their restoration of the demilled MP43 was pretty nice so once in a while the show has something to offer.
