Not only that, but early history, they have horrible ideas of how to get rid of unwanted guns...like dumping them into large bodies of water and essentially polluting the shit out of it.

Something like a suppressed FN P90 (made famous in the Stargate TV series) might have worked well for someone in Mulder's situation. A P90 certainly would have been better than nothing while escaping from the rampaging Alien Colonists in the facility (and he didn't seem to have a backpack to get Scully the necessary clothing needed to survive in the hostile environment outside the facility either).

I seriously doubt for the sake of comparing what real FBI would use that Mulder would request a P90. A weapon like that is meant for someone who knows how to use it and Mulder has never seemed like the door kicker FBI type. Would have been real FBI cool of him to use an MP5/10 instead
