MP5SD, my weapon of choice for the zombie apocalypse 😉

@dsd333d All supressed weapons work more effectively with sub sonic ammo; with the possible exception of the Welrod and it's mate, who were only ever intended to be used for a few rounds.

Your reason for dismissing the MP5 (poor performance vs body armour) completely misses the point. In a hostage situation you don't want a round that can defeat body armour unless you know that the bad guys are wearing it. Even then it may not be the best option. A full up 5.56 at close range will penetrate (some) body armour, but it can also pass through an unarmoured body. While a 9mm will just about penetrate a breeze block wall a 5.56 will do so with ease. TLDR in close quarters within a building, you have more chance of accidentally killing hostages with a 5.56mm round than you do with a 9mm low velocity round.
