Is a full auto MP5 useful for home defense?

The one I played with was uncontrollable at past 10 yards. As in I couldn't keep the rounds on the person sized target. Even at 5 yards, short bursts were all I could control. Maybe more practice would help but feeding that beast is expensive.
 
Yeah, a suppressed MP5 is a sweet CQB gun for indoor use.
Should be great in HD role, assuming you are as familiar with it and as practiced in shooting full auto bursts as you are shooting your other guns in semi auto mode.

That being said, my SMG never saw actual duty (loaded and within easy reach) for home defense. It was a range toy & something of a safe queen.
Other firearms, more conventional ones, filled the home defense role for me.
 
FA MP5 wasn’t good enough home defense for Tony Montana :very_drunk:
Al Pacino was great in that movie.
