Question about Machine Pistol

[Excalibur]

To spit out as much ammo as possible, laying down suppressive fire? Or maybe it's because people who knows how to use Machine Pistols don't actually go full auto but instead fire in bursts. The M93R is only a burst firing weapon and the ones we see in full auto are only for the movies cause the audience just LOVES full auto

Well I think its because the bolt and everything else is much lighter than say a submachine gun or an Assault rifle. I'd like to get a CZ 75 auto because it has a compensator and you can use a extra mag as a foregrip but I'm too lazy to do all the paperwork necessary. But if you're in the army in real combat the only time you'd need a Machine Pistol is if your bodyguarding. Machine pistols are okay for suppressive fire.

Personally I'd much rather have an M4 or CQB-R, even for VIP protection.

Full auto or not, a pistol is still a pistol.

I don't think a single Army in the world uses machine pistols.

I wouldn't ,I think the main advantage of Submachineguns over Rifles is less chance of overpenetration -esp if you are a bodyguard in some public place with lots of people.
