Heckler & Koch MP5 (Clone)

Description

German Heckler & Koch GmbH (H&K) have produced some of the worlds most well known and reliable post-war weapons.

Designed in the late 1960’s, the MP5 Submachine Gun (SMG) was chambered for the standard 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge, a caliber in wide use throughout NATO.

The basic model was made available with either a fixed or retractable buttstock, with countless variations to follow. The two most well known are the 1976 MP5K, which was a shortened barrel/carbine version. This had a foregrip in lieu of a handguard, an optional side folding stock and was favored by close protection officers/covert agencies. Along with the 1974 MP5SD, which was fitted with an integrated suppressor and was favored by special forces operators.

Although many rivals have come onto the market in recent years, the MP5 is still the most widely used submachine gun in the world and is in service with the militaries and police forces of more than 40 nations. As well as official use, news footage often shows them in the hands of private security contractors, cartel members and other criminal originations.
