I know where the full autos were and they are no longer there. There are a number of full autos in several places in storage for units that used to have them. It’s not a thing- even in the mp5s. I carried both operationally and training others in the military and in civi police.
I’m sure you’re experience is true. It’s just not the present map of firearms. I’m sure there are a ton in armour shops around the country. It is not the accepted equipment. I suppose the caveat is “operational” currently.
There are areas where all types of thing are trained and evaluated
A few years ago there were full auto lower receivers in every training shop. It’s not that they don’t exist or we have them. It’s deployment of them.
They have historically existed- but not in patrol carbine which was the initiator of this conversation.
I suppose this is a miscommunication on my part by speaking in generalizations. Civilian police do not operationally deploy full auto firearms. There was a time where several units and teams had them- it is not the present reality that Canadian police use them. They are not the front line patrol carbine anywhere. I am not familiar with any team carrying them above the frontline operationally in Canada. As a guy who prepared expert testimony in court for police training/force I would be shocked that it would be accepted in Canada. But I do get shocked every week
