One reason why they use SMGs is that they are a damn sight more accurate than pistols, particularly the MP5s that the police use. A trained person can punch the right holes in a playing card at full automatic and while squeezing off single shots by touch (one of my old party tricks in the service) and I used more primitive guns than those.
I am glad to see the British police are so efficient and have caught all the 'hands on' perpetrators. It is interesting to see that at least one was told that it was only enough explosive to 'scare' people. I was watching on TV and heard the live feed. It was obvious from the reports of popping noises etc that detonators had gone off and the main explosive failed.
I am afraid it is only a matter of time before we have one here. If it is any consolation these sorts of things (whether due to terrorists or 'normal' madmen) can happen anywhere - I live only a little way from Port Arthur (normally a very quiet and sleepy spot) and the gunman there was very destructive.
