I think it could work even if you had to go with some kind of specialty defense ammo. Think AC-556 but 10/22. And ~12" barrel instead of the 14" (?) the AC-556 has. Too loud? Integral silencer. Throw in a selector for good measure since we're going into the theoretical "what if" land (or selectable binary if you can't). But I'd probably go with is a silenced MP5 at that point even if I had the option of a reliable BX-25.
