MP5
submachine gun
Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine
guns employ the same delayed blowback operated
roller-locked bolt system found in the famous
HK G3 Automatic Rifle. All the elements
of HK excellence; reliability, ease of handling,
simple maintenance, and safety are highlighted
on the MP5. Firing from the closed-bolt
position during all modes of fire makes
MP5 submachine guns extremely accurate and
controllable.
Used by military and law enforcement units
in more than fifty nations, the MP5 is firmly
established as the world’s preeminent submachine
gun. Over 120 variants of the HK MP5 submachine
gun are available to address the widest
range of tactical requirements. A selection
of optional trigger groups allow for single
fire only, full automatic, 2-round, and
3-round burst options. The weapon’s unique
modular design and a variety of optional
buttstocks, forearms, sight mounts, and
other accessories gives the MP5 extraordinary
flexibility to meet most any mission requirement.

MP5SF
The MP5SF (single fire) carbine is a semi-automatic
only variant of the MP5 fitted with a trigger
group that prevents full automatic firing.
The Single Fire (SF) trigger group can be
replaced with other MP5 trigger groups to
allow burst and full automatic firing.
The MP5 Single Fire is an ideal squad car
carbine. It is an excellent supplement or
replacement for a police shotgun. It has
less recoil, greater range, and more ammunition
capacity than a shotgun and is especially
suitable for small stature officers.

MP5K
The MP5K is the ultimate close quarters
weapon. At 4.4 pounds and less than 13 inches
long, the MP5K is easily concealed and carried.
All MP5Ks can be fitted with an optional
folding buttstock. The MP5K can also be
fired from inside a specially designed briefcase.

MP5K-PDW
The MP5K-PDW is a compact submachine gun
designed for vehicle operators, air crew
members, security details, and others who
require a small, but powerful weapon. While
comparable in performance to full size MP5s,
the size and weight of the MP5K-PDW make
this weapon the ideal choice where a rifle
or full-sized submachine gun is unmanageable
and a handgun is a poor compromise. With
its sturdy folding buttstock and threaded
barrel the MP5K-PDW is an exceptionally
flexible weapon.

MP5SD3 9mm
with integral aluminum sound suppressor
and standard"SEF" trigger group.

|
|
|
MP5SD
For specialized applications requiring fully
realized sound and flash suppression, several
MP5SD models are available. The removable
sound suppressor is integrated into the
weapon’s design and conforms to the normal
length and profile of a conventional, unsuppressed
submachine gun. The MP5SD uses an integral
aluminum or optional wet technology stainless
steel sound suppressor. It does not require
use of subsonic ammunition for effective
sound reduction like most conventional sound
suppressed submachine guns.
Common throughout each weapon group is the
ability to use many interchangeable assembly
groups and components. This provides the
ability to train personnel within one weapon
group and have them competent with the entire
weapon system.
Accessory claw-lock scope mount and telescopic
sight. HK scope mounts attach to rifles
and submachine guns without tools at special
points that ensure 100% return to zero.
HK scope mounts do not interfere with the
use of the weapon’s iron sights .

MP5/40
and MP5/10
The MP5/40 and MP5/10 are product improved
variants of the 9mm MP5 chambered for the
more powerful .40 S&W and 10mm Auto
cartridges. Although the operation and functioning
principles of the MP5/40 and MP5/10 are
identical to the 9mm MP5, several user inspired
improvements have been incorporated into
the design, including a new bolt catch device
that holds the bolt group rearward after
the magazine is empty. Depressing the bolt
catch releases the bolt to chamber the first
round of a loaded magazine.New lightweight
synthetic magazines are durable and ensure
reliable feeding under the most extreme
conditions. Like all MP5s, the MP5/40 and
MP5/10 can be disassembled without tools
for cleaning and maintenance.
The firepower, penetration, and hard-hitting
potential of a 10mm MP5 is greater than
a .45 ACP Thompson submachine gun. At any
range, the projectile fired from a 10mm
MP5 has nearly twice the energy of a comparable
9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP cartridge.
In 1994, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) adopted the MP5/10 as their new submachine
gun.
