The MP5 Weapon System - A Synonym For Flexibility

Many years of experience and permanent improvements to the design of the Heckler & Koch MP5 Submachine Guns ensure that these weapons feature an unsurpassed performance in all scenarios. It is not without reason that worldwide most of the elite units have the Heckler & Koch MP5 as their favoured weapon. All of the Heckler & Koch MP5 Submachine Guns are safe, reliable, accurate and easy to handle. Their production by Heckler & Koch guarantees an uncompromised quality and performance.

Its modular design and the interchangeability of parts and assemblies make the MP5 Weapon System a universal tool for the user. In the basic version the MP5 Submachine Gun is equipped with a rigid butt stock and a grip assembly featuring a fire selector lever with "Single" and "Sustained Fire" mode settings. By the exchange and combination of the different grip assemblies and butt stock assemblies the basic MP5 version is easily convertible into a weapon having a retractable butt stock or a weapon with a grip featuring an ambidextrous fire selector lever with the settings "Single Fire", "Burst" and "Sustained Fire". Moreover, it is even possible to fit a receiver cap to the MP5 instead of the butt stock.

Design Features

+ Bolt System
The Heckler & Koch MP5 Submachine Gun was designed along the functional lines of the G3, the standard rifle of the German Armed Forces. In the same manner of the G3 Rifle, the MP5 Submachine Gun features the unique recoil operated roller-locked bolt now optimised for the 9 mm Parabellum cartridge, firing from a closed position. This well proven bolt design contributes primarily to the weapon's inherent accuracy and reliability under adverse conditions with only a minimum requirement for cleaning and maintenance. Due to is smooth recoil characteristics this roller-locked bolt system ensures an optimum controllability of the MP5 Submachine Gun when firing bursts or sustained fire.

+ Trigger Mechanism
The MP5 trigger mechanism is also based on the highly reliable G3 trigger system. The design of this trigger mechanism ensures maximum possible safety for the shooter.

+ Barrel Characteristics
Another exceptional feature of the Heckler & Koch MP5 Submachine Gun is its fixed barrel, precision manufactured by applying the cold forging technology, thus guaranteeing the extremely long service life and accuracy of the weapon.

+ MP5 SD - Silent & Accurate
Unlike other silenced weapons the Heckler & Koch MP5 SD is designed to work with standard loaded 9 mm x 19 ammunition. This makes the Heckler & Koch MP5 SD an outstanding weapon in this class as it does not require specially manufactured subsonic cartridges in order to achieve a significant reduction of the muzzle report and the elimination of the supersonic noise of the projectile.

+ MP5 - Compact Shape
This handy and compact special-purpose Submachine Gun is most suitable for concealed carrying or for the employment in confined areas. It features the same outstanding characteristics with regard to an uncompromised safety and reliability as its system members of the Heckler & Koch MP5 Submachine Gun range.

In order to accommodate use of the MP5 range of Submachine Guns as much as possible to all fields of employment, Heckler & Koch offers a wide range of well-thought-out and useful accessories like the Heckler & Koch sight mount for rapid attachment of all optical sights with STANAG fitting dimensions.

+ Sight Mount
The Heckler & Koch sight mount is attached to the weapon without using tools and guarantees an unchanged point of aim even after taking the mount off and on repeatedly.

+ Multi-Purpose Carrying Sling
Heckler & Koch provides this special multi-purpose carrying sling which permits the shooter to carry and use the MP5 conveniently during the fulfillment of his tasks.

+ Magazine Clip
The Heckler & Koch magazine clip securely holds both 15 and 30 round magazines, and provides for the shooter a readily available second magazine.

+ Magazine Filling / Emptying
In order to facilitate filling and emptying MP5 magazines, Heckler & Koch offers easy to operate accessories, which also avoid damaging of the magazine lips as may happen by using inadequate tools.

+ Blank Attachment
The blank attachment guarantees safe operation of the MP5 Submachine Gun firing blank cartridges without any hazard to the shooter.
