Wasn't the Ruger Mini-14 popular among Police Departments for a long due to budget constraints?

No info wrt that, sorry.

in real life, no.
on TV, yes.
because they were cheap.
Every A-Team episode has tons of them. Low budget.

how often do the fbi and law enforcement really use handguns though? you'd think in a life or death situation when shit hits the fan,they'd rather use something like a shotgun or an assault rifle

If you know for a fact you have to kill a man, obviously you want a rifle.
They carry handguns because its much more convenient and they get into sticky situations all the time and of course you need something that kinda sorta works for personal defense.
Remember the Miami shootout? They were just driving around and HOLY FUCKING SHIT THERES THE BANK ROBBERS!
Of course since then more and more law enforcement agencies carry heavy stuff in the car.
