I wonder how it stacks up price-wise compared to existing SMGs, like the Beretta M12.

Why stack it against another Beretta SMG, when all SMGs are stacked against the big names like the MP5 and the Uzi. or newer ones like the MP7 or the TMP.

On a side note. I seriously remember playing Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter 2...and they made an SMG version of the Cx4...and I thought that was the stupidest idea ever. Usually we have military weapons made semi for civilians, but they did the reverse and took a weapon made for civilian ownership...and made it military. And not a good job really. All they did was shorten the barrel, gave it a larger mag and most likely select fire.

It would make sense for training issues if they were already using a cx4 but other than that a mp5 or something is a better bet.

It also has a threaded barrel and can accept Handgun magazines.

Also interestingly the Mx4 is replacing the MP5 by those who have ordered it.

I've read a couple articles years ago that was about a few Police Departments in the US already using the Cx4 as their patrol carbine.

I saw an articel on college police forces issueing them, different politics though, a m4 may look too "militaristic" for schools.
