That is what they are buying.
 
Nice

But they need to make it semi auto with a 10 round magazine. Otherwise its just not practical.:pleasantry::girl_wink:
 
Ever read "The Battle of Jakes"? They may need said firepower one of these days--the flip side to that is--it may be used against them.
 
It's for their research facility. Maybe they are planning on upgrading the Presidential limos and need to know if they will protect well enough.
 
This company is right down the street from my house. I never knew what they did there but now I do and know where I'm going when the SHTF.
 
would they really need the suppressors if they planned on using them in testing anything...

i mean common sense is yea you would... but this is the government...
 
That's the job of the Secret Service, not the FBI.
Just because the FBI buys it does not mean that is where it ends up. It would look funny for the SS to buy something like that. Plausible deniability. "Nope, we aren't worried about that threat."
