Don't piss off old people. The older we get, the less "Life In Prison" is a deterrent.

They started off with the standard Hollywood idea of the MP5 being the standard "special ops" gun, but after a season or two, they switched to the P90 as the standard weapon for SG teams. If I recall rightly, the P90 was originally designed for as a 'compact' long arm for vehicle crews and the like and didn't really have the space for a full blown assault rifle or the equivalent, it then evolved into a design for close urban combat which suits most counter-terrorist / special forces situations these days.

At least John Doe did get a full season of 21 episodes. Although it did end on a cliffhanger.

Re-watching the pilot episode of John Doe. A fairly intelligent adventure series from around 2002 that had a slowly developing story arc. A pre-Prison Break Dominic Purcell as an amnesiac who turned up in Seattle, who although he had absolutely no idea of who he was, he knew literally everything else thats factual knowledge. Has that weird mystery of the week that slowly built up backstory and connections as he struggled to figure out who he was and how he knew so much, while also trying to build human connections with the people he encountered. Damn, that's one I will always have a grudge over them cancelling. Up there with Threshold, Oddysey 5, Defying Gravity, and Journeyman.

Oh, and the French for supplying money and arms, just because they wanted to give us a diplomatic black eye.

From my viewpoint over here in merry olde England, it isn't so much about "yes, your gun didn't kill anyone", it's that it seems to damned easy for any idiot to get hold of them over there. I can point to many friends around the world and say "Yes, they are competent, intelligent people who can be responsible with a car, with a gun, what have you." But I can also point to a whole bunch more of people who are just idiots I wouldn't trust with a stapler, let alone some form of automatic weaponry. But if they are in the good ol US of A...
