You are 'surely' wrong.
I'm not saying a nut couldn't figure out how to do a tremendous amount of damage with a machine gun, but in a VA tech type situation they would be far less useful than a rifle or pistol. They are great outside in the open, while firing from the prone, but not in a building. They are heavy, large, very difficult to fire while standing, slow, and far less reliable than a regular rifle. They have an important niche for the military, and a nut could employ one with horrible effectiveness, but not in the way you are thinking.
By making false suppositions you are undercutting your own argument.
