PIG Pic..

Well, well, well..
Today, I am featuring a gun I don't have in my safe*.. The Heckler and Koch MP5.

This is what the H&K website has to say about the "World Famous" MP5:

The MP5 Submachine Gun. This world-renowned submachine gun is the standard by which all others are judged. These state of the art submachine guns employ the same roller delayed blowback system found in the famous 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 50 nations, the MP5 is firmly established as the world's pre-eminent 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 allows 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 give the MP5 extraordinary flexibility to meet most any mission requirement.

ALRIGHTY! So, on to the specs:

  • Caliber: 9x19mm (9mm Parabellum)
  • Capacity: 15/30
  • Length: 26.77
  • Width: 1.96
  • Height: 8.26
  • Sight Radius:13.38
  • Barrel Length: 8.85
  • Weight: 5.59 Lbs
  • Cyclic Rate: 800 rpm

Just posting this picture should give the gun-grabbing commies in Olympia a stroke! This is of course the primary CQB weapon for the Navy SEALS, Marine Recon, Army Rangers, and of course, the US Anti Terrorist Team code named DELTA. After reading all about it, I can understand why our SPEC-OPS boys use them! What a honey!

*This is due to many laws restricting prohibiting it's ownership in my home state of Washington, AND the rather prohibitive cost of over $3000!
