Which is better for CQB, the HK MP5 or FN P90?

There can never be one best weapon for every situation, that is why those in the need have an armory with a variety of weapons, and missions are planned hopefully with enough intel to help planners determine what mix to use.

It really depends on what you mean by "better".  A .45 will have more stopping power but it will be more expensive, harder to conceal and have a bit more kick.  The 9mm, being smaller, will be easier to conceal and have less kick and is generally less expensive (both the gun and the ammo) but it is considered minimal in terms of actual stopping power.  It will probably be adequate for most personal defense purposes, but there have been many police reports of criminals hit by a 9mm who go on fighting.\n\n(With regard to military use, noted above: there are many who object to the change which was made more to standardize with European allies in NATO than for any practical purposes.  The .45 was developed for fighting in the Phillipines prior to WWI where the original .38 round was not adequate to stop the suicidal Moro fighters.  The .38 has similar balistics to the 9mm.  Similar objections are made to the switch to the .223 caliber M16 from the .308 caliber M1.)

.45 because if you get shot with the 9mm you will more likely survive than from a .45's blast.

Any question you can ask in the realm of handgunning will generate a host of opinions -- none of which may be the same.  The 9mm is a fast round but may overpenetrate in the area of self defense but this may happen if you use a + P load in 38 caliber.  I usually carry a 357 revolver (which of course also fires 38's) since I don't have to worry about a safety if I have to use it.  For a long time the 38 was the preferred round by many law enforcement agencies before the 40 and the 45 ACP came into favor.  The drawback for the 38 is it is primarily a revolver round while the 9mm is used mainly in autoloading pistols.  It is also used by the NATO forces.  Many people like the idea of having 10 or more rounds that can cycle through and fire quickly as is the case with the 9mm -- assuming your pistol doesn't jam!  With a 38, you are limited to 5 or 6 rounds from a revolver and your ablity to reload quickly with a speedloader you trust and are proficient in using.  As far as stopping power, both are fine rounds and vary according to what kind you get (higher pressure +P loads, jacketed hollow points, etc.) and where you place the shots.  Both are fine rounds for out on the range.  If either round hits a person, I doubt it will tickle!  Both have been around a long time, since about 1902 and are among the most common cartridges made so finding ammo in either caliber is easy no matter where you go.  I think both are fine rounds, as I have fired both.  The recoil of both is about the same in my opinion.

No.  The M-14 replaced it in Viet Nam. and the M-16 is what most troops are using now, although some are using the M-4 carbine-which I haven't heard any complaints about that.\n\nThe arguement can be made that the AK-47 is vastly superior because it rarely jams

I am very fond of HK's UMP .45 calibur SMG.\n\nStop crying, rain, guns aren't responsible for murder, people are responsible for murder.

Don't have experience with the A-5 but do have a 98C.  My experience is those longer ceramic barrels they sell on eBay significantly improve accuracy.  Haven't found a stock that works.  They work fine until you put your helmet on then your helmet hits the stock before you can your eye low enough to see down the barrel.

Federal HYDRA-SHOK 147 grain. \n\nNow, you need to make sure it works and feeds well and shoots fairly accurately in you own weapon, just like they all said. If it does, you have selected a powerful 9mm round with superior stopping power and proven reliability that is commonly available at most shops. No point in choosing an ammo you can't find. \n\nI recommend you stock up and quick. Nasty Nancy Pelosi will be taking that pistol away from you real soon if she gets her way.

most of the answers you have been given are correct. i worked in a very high volume gun shop for years and have personally owned well over a hundred firearms. most of the rifles being in the 30 caliber class. you just said deer hunting, if that is the largest game you will be hunting a 308 is plenty. and as far as the people saying the 308 is flatter shooting. that is also very true. and commercially available loads are readily available for the 308 just for extreme accuracy. if you go with a 308 try factory remingtons loaded with a 168 grain hollow point boat tail. 168HPBT is how it will be described. if you load youre own you can get just as much accuracy from the 30-06. i shot many over the years and it also has advantages. the long range competions at military ranges have relied on experienced shooters able to handle the recoil of a 30-06. but if you are never shooting more than 150 yards and deer will be the largest game you intend to hunt a 308 is plenty. i got hooked on 30-06 from the older military guys. i have to admit that a garand is a very pleasant rifle to fire. both cartridges are great. when i shot 30-06 i always reloaded and there are so many options it is mind boggling. i loaded everything from 95 grain plinker loads using bullseye pistol powder to 230 grain full house loads that would just about dislodge my shoulder. to get back to youre question again, you mostly say target shooting and amature competition. then a heavy barrel is the best choice. and i dont know if you have youre mind set on remington for a certain reason but money wise there are better choices for accuracy versus money. and im not just blowing smoke out of my butt. i have owned well over a hundred firearms and have fired atleast a thousand different configurations. so i am slightly biased from my own experiences. remington manufactures great arms but for very accurate target shooting and competition you will notice that a bolt action rifle is usually used. and i have to say that savage arms is the best for the money. i have owned browning and ruger and remington bolt action heavy barrels. but the savage rifles have always been more accurate. i have a savage model 110 fp in 308 that i can pick off crows at 200 yards easy. i believe the new version is called a model 10, they shortened the action. and my savage 112 bvss in 30-06 is a rifle i could never part with. shooting hand loads with 168 grain sierra hpbt and pre fired remington brass. i have had many times groups well under .500. my most accurate load is pre fired remington brass neck sized with a cci # 200 primer and a charge of49.3 grains of IMR 4064 powder followed by a sierra 168 grain hpbt set at an oal of 3.292. but every rifle is different but that works perfect for me. if youre just going deer hunting get a basic plain jane rifle. even an inch of target isnt a big deal in that situation. but if you really want accuracy i have already gave you my opinion. i think the 308 or 30-06 are both great choices. and the ammo is readily available for both given they are military cartridges, surplus ammo just for plinking and having fun is available cheap. and on the fun side is really neat to buy surplus military ss-209 , 223 rounds and pull the bullets and load them in sabots which i believe are still available.if not i have gobs of them i bought years ago and would be willing to sell some.  a 223 with a steel penetrator in a sabot comes out of a 30 caliber about 3700 fps. it will go right through an inch of solid steel. i hope i was of some help.

the best beginner guns on the market are the tippmann 98 custom the custom pro, and the A-5 you can literally bang them against a brick wall and they will still work lie they came out of the box. a big bonus is that you can customize these guns to fit your style of play as you get more experienced. you can put on sniper barrels, drop in just about anything that will make you shoot faster, you can put on nitrogen without having to replace any parts, and so much more plus tippmann just came out with a new anti chop system for these guns so that means if a paintball gets stuck you can still shoot without having to clean your barrel. another thing is that you can field strip it and fix the gun if it malfunctions during a game. tippmann has made great strides in producing reliable, dependable, and cheap markers. i would recommend them to anyone even to people who have been playing longer than i have

I can understand your wanting to explore "humane" bullets, but the reasons for FMJ far exceed your examples, the cost of FMJ's is MUCH less than say, JHPBT's or JHP's. Considering the average troop in a war situation rarely "aims" his rifle, but more to the effect of spray and pray, it seems logical that the best ammo for the average grunt would be FMJ's, perhaps elite forces or snipers should use this new ammo( by the way, your link won't open) But in all reality, the normal M193 series of ammo will be used.(M193 is standard FMJ .223 ammo the military uses) Occasionally they are issued armor piercing rounds depending on the mission.If the military re-tools for different weapons(already in the works with the HKXM series) I would assume different types os ammo would be used as well, perhaps the bi-metal rounds will find a home.

True machine guns fire a RIFLE round, whereas submachineguns fire a PISTOL round.For example, the military M-60light machine gun fires the 7.62mm NATO (.308 Winchester) round, and the H&K MP5 submachinegun fires the 9mm pistol round.

the tippmann 98 custom is the best because it is the only gun you need ever. great for beginner all the way to pro. i have one. i bought it because the people at the place where i go to said it was like hell trying to kill. it is accurate with a range of 150 ft right out of the box. i like it because you can customize the hell outta the thing and for less that an autococker you have a formidable piece of machinery. i put a stock and flatline barrel on my gun ant everyone said that they have to gang up on me to even stand a chance. and I'm just a recreational player. i want to buy a halo b hopper for it because they are able to keep up with the 15 paintballs per second fire rate. taht thing can hang in a firefight. shoot through holes slightly wider than the paintball. the best thing is that it costs around $170 dollars for the entire kit. heres the site. thats the one \n\nSource(s):\n\nwww.tippmann.com

Sturm Ruger recently supplied 5,000 of their model P95D auto pistols, now designated the M95D in caliber 9 m/m, to U.S. troops in Iraq. This could possibly be the weapon you're wondering about.

The M-16 and the M-4 are basically the same weapon, the M-4 being a carbine, having a shorter barrel and stock. This allows for better control and quickness in CQB (close quarters battle, room clearing, etc.), while the M-16 offers greater range and accuracy.\n\nThe recoil on the M-16 and the M-4 is almost nil, and allow you to come back on target fairly quick. The recoil spring in the M-16 is almost 18" long, and absorbs the bolt carrier very well. \n\nAs far as one being better than the other, that is determined solely by the mission. A regular infantry unit would carry M-16's, while a unit going into an urban combat situation would carry M-4's.

My first handgun was a PPK, but I've always liked the Glock 17 (The 19 is just a mini 17). The 19 is considered the best for home defense. If you want something for sport, I love the PPK. The new PPK is really nice. A major difference is magazine size: 7 rounds for the PPK/S, and 15 for the Glock 19. \n\nBut then again, you can always buy it just to show off.
