The MP5 is so successful, that H&K is having problems trying to convince clients to upgrade to their newer line of SMG or PDW. The company can't sell their newer lines of replacements because users still wants to keep their MP5's.
The best looking variant is the MP5SD with the fixed solid stock. Take that and chamber it in 5.56, and you have the HK53. An SD or integrally suppressed version would be kickass. I've never seen one before.
Its from HK so you know its over engineered (and overpriced). But they are not complete dicks. The government screwed them over too. The customers were never the same. I own several HK designs but nothing made by HK. I would like too one day if the prices come down. The police can get a full auto MP5 for $1,500 but I can't get anything for less than $2,000 and its a neutered civilian version. WTH?
I was wondering what will I end up getting myself as my first class 3 transferable MG and so naturally I considered some 9mm auto pistol or SMG and what is the best pre-1986 9mm SMG?Obviously it is MP-5 yet it turns out it goes for as much as 50 grand minimum! So I guess I will stick with MAC-10/11 instead because it is $13-14 grand 😂
The version used by British police is semi-auto only. A lot of the British public seem to be unaware of this judging by the number of times I have heard 'The police have machine guns.' Obviously if a police officer fired a burst in a typical police situation the result would be carnage.
I was in the Marine Corps for 15 years and I've used those weapons before I never liked them they see cheap to me but they do work I will give him that
