This brings up a question I've often had. Why don't the agents, or cops in general, carry big-caliber carbines? Even with an old Winchester, they could own everything out to 100 yards or more. Some BG with baggy pants shooting his semi auto sideways would be cut down in seconds with one or two shots. No filling the air with dangerous lead. No concerns about body armor or BG's fighting on with a bunch of little 9mm slugs in them. And the price is right! I understand the limitations of scoped hunting rifles, but what could they possibly have against keeping a few carbines in the squad car?
