You were firing THAT at me? Personally I use the MP5k as a secondary AEG, or as a sniper backup. It’s nice to chat to people on the opposition who have tried to get close to you when you’ve been sniping, only to find you dropping your single shot rifle pulling a strange looking black pistol off your back, and then returning fire at an equal or better rate than their AEG. It certainly serves it’s purpose as a sniper backup, but it comes into it’s own when you want to lay down suppressing fire (for short periods). I could be found fairly recently, wandering around Sopley’s urban site, with my SG1 in one hand, and the MP5k in the other, quite simply the MP5k allows you to double your rate of fire, and provide twice the covering fire. |

Issues
(good and bad points)
Backsight unscrewing
itself and falling off – as with most AEG’s you need to keep an eye on the
nuts and screws, and keep them tight, otherwise parts and screws fall off. On
the MP5 I have heard that people have lost backsights in mud after they have
unscrewed themselves and fallen off. Your best bet is to use ‘Lock-Tite’ on
all screws that are likely to fall out.
Hi-cap winds the wrong
way – not a great problem, just something that feels wrong – like driving
on the right hand side of the road (in Europe!)
Hi-cap mags are difficult
to fill – again, not a major issue, as the mags are the size they are for
a reason, just don’t expect to be filling them on the run.
Ambidextrous use
– One real advantage of the MP5’s is that fireselect switch being on both sides,
allowing both left and right handed use.
