I was wondering about that too.
I think it’s for riot control and audio broadcasts the phrase “Allah wants you to please return to your apartment...please”

Appalling -- she had ordered it in pink!

The FN 2000 is even scarier. Basically the gun from the game Halo, only real.

OH MY GOD! A FAKE GUN! EVERYBODY PANIC!!!
That is not a firearm. That is a training device much like the old Nintendo "zapper".

You mean the headline is more than just a little misleading? Say it ain’t so!

Grandmother sent machine gun in the post Is that proper english grammar?
I ask because I find it misleading. It would be more descriptive of what happened had it said Grandmother received sent a machine gun in the post that was meant for nearby police HQt.

Which gun specifically from Halo? There are lots of different guns in Halo, most of which would be pretty intimidating compared to anything we have...

The classic example is
"The police were ordered to stop drinking after midnight"

However, I’ve never really heard a good explanation for why police departments need fully automatic weapons either. I can’t put together a scenario, no matter how well armed the bad guys are, that spray and pray would be the best tactic. I've heard of one instance of an assault rifle being used by police in a situation that seemed to warrant it - the 1973 New Orleans sniper incident ended when an NOPD officer in a helicopter used an M16 to kill the sniper atop a downtown hotel. I think, though, that the M16 was actually privately owned, not police dept. property.
