Agree, a bullet from a MP5 fx doesnt travel that far. Assualt rifles with 7.92mm caliber shots trough houses though, but they are not ideal in house-to-house fighting, specially if the houses are made of concrete or something similar.
Theres special types of bullets made for house cleansing operations, which "disintegrate" when hitting surfaces like a thick wall ... or bone inside a body. This way recouchettes and bullets travelling through the entire house (and possibly injuring own forces elsewhere in the house) can be avoided.

Its well known that for instance the english Special Air Service CT Squadrons use these.

for the record, MP-5's are not classified as "Assault Rifles." They're primarily used by SOGs for close-quarters, while M-4's and M-16's are typically used for longer distance operations.

The M-16, and upcoming OICW, are outstanding weapons. Low weight, high accuracy, outstanding ammunition capacity and versatile. They're a bugger if you don't clean them but doing things like closing the dust covers on the bolt avoid most of the problems.

And don't let the size of the round fool you. Ballistically, they're evil.
