Short barrell means less velocity, weight, more ability to turn or move or change aim quick. Useful in a serious gunfight like the North Hollywood bank robbery. Less velocity means more likely to stop on the first object hit, which is important in a city or residential area. Full auto defeats body armor.

Were they changing their aim a lot during the North Hollywood shootout when there were only two perpetrators? And why would you want a short barrel if you’re worried about defeating body armor?

Wouldn’t engaging someone at a longer range, with a longer barrel, giving you deeper penetration against a possibly armored target, particularly when a police officer should be able to shoot better than some asshole with an AK-47 be ideal over spraying a couple hundred rounds down a city block?
