For all your big talk, your argumentation style is very dishonest at times. Why do you always cherrypick the biggest SMGs on the market (like the Colt one) and set them against the absolute low end of carbines?

Second, the whole manufacturer debate started from your comment that "SMGs suck because they aren't generally fielded"

- without the slightest consideration what parameters a general issue firearm that a grunt carries at all times needs to have versus a specialized tool for close quarters. Only in your latest round of essays do you acknowledge that mil and police SF would be the applicable units to evaluate this.

I don't doubt that carbines are equal to slightly superior to SMGs in CQC on a case by case basis, but the absolute, unrestricted and universal superiority you proclaim for the whole class is mildly ridiculous.
