Heckler & Koch MP5

description

Up until the creation of the UMP, the Heckler & Koch MP5 was undoubtedly the company's greatest submachine gun. It can fire at a rate of up to 900 rounds per minute, and took just two years to design. It quickly entered into service with the German police and special armed forces. Since its production in 1966, several adaptations have been created to cope with different situations, and the company claim that there are now over 100 variants of the weapon. It can be shortened, silenced or extended depending on usage, which makes it one of the most versatile guns on the market. It's held in great esteem, and has featured in literally hundreds of movies. Gun problems are seriously rare, probably due to the famed German reliability. The 9mm bullet was also first introduced in Germany - check out the link!!

Beloved of rappers, cops, robbers and just about every armed force...
