Description:
The SP5 is H&K’s civilian-legal pistol version of their legendary MP5 submachine gun. Shown here is the full-size model. The other model produced by H&K is the SP5K PDW, based upon the MP5K, a compact version of the standard MP5. The SP5 uses an 8.86” threaded barrel and has the iconic slanted forearm. The threaded muzzle sports the standard “tri-lug” for the retention of a muzzle device or suppressor. There are multiple versions of the basic SP5, the example shown here being SKU 81000477. It comes with a hard case, two 30-round magazines, a sight tool/screwdriver, and an owner’s manual. There are many aftermarket accessories available for the SP5, including a detachable picatinny mount for the installation of a red dot of the user’s choice. Other options include a flat-faced trigger, an extended cocking handle, alternate forearm types, spare rollers for the bolt, higher-capacity magazines, and an ambidextrous safety lever. Fully kitted out, the SP5 would make an excellent home-defense gun. This example has been fitted with an SB telescopic pistol brace.
A short history of the MP5: The MP5 sub-machine gun, upon which the SP5 is based, was originally introduced in 1964. It utilized the roller-delayed blow-back method originally developed by Mauser engineers for the StG 45 prototype assault rifle in development at the end of World War 2 as a replacement for the far better known StG 44. When the war ended, some of the Mauser engineers working on the project took their design to Spain and continued their work, eventually creating the CETME battle rifle. When the German government sought a replacement for the G1 (a license built FAL; FN in Belgium refused to allow continued licensed production of it), they purchased the production rights for the CETME, with H&K modifying the gun slightly to create the well-known G3 battle rifle. A need by German special forces units for a compact and reliable SMG to replace the Walther MP sub-gun resulted in H&K scaling down the G3 design to create the MP5. The MP5 has since been utilized in various conflicts all over the world, having been adopted by 40 nations and numerous military and law enforcement organizations. The MP5 achieved iconic status among the public in 1980 when it was utilized by the British special forces regiment the SAS during Operation Nimrod to storm the Iranian Embassy in London, successfully rescuing the hostages and killing five terrorists. The early portion of the rescue (i.e. building entry) was actually done on live television. Another notable user of the MP5 was the U.S. Navy SEALs. Near the end of the Vietnam War, the SEALs were introduced to the somewhat infamous M10 or “MAC-10” machine pistol. While the M10 had some advantages (small size and firepower), it was not wholly suitable for SEALs operations. It took some time until the C.O.s leading their men in the field, and therefore having experience with the weapon, could convince their own superiors that it was worth it to spend the extra money to purchase the Heckler & Koch MP5 submachinegun. At the time, the M10 was much less expensive to buy, and it was difficult for the upper ranks to understand what value the MP5 could possess over the MAC. While it was certainly effective at point-blank range (i.e. 15 ft or less), the machine pistol’s accuracy at longer ranges left something to be desired (especially when used without the associated suppressor). The first step in convincing the SEALs’ upper ranks of the utility of the MP5 consisted of letting the officers shoot both a MAC and an MP5 at the range. The better controllability and the resulting better accuracy displayed by the latter became the deciding factor in favor of purchasing the German submachinegun. Another important factor often overlooked in the MAC vs MP5 struggle was the ability of the MP5 to resist saltwater corrosion, something the MAC was not built with in mind. This is a very important factor for the SEALs as they, out of all the other Special Forces units, spend the most time in saltwater. Overall, the MP5 was and still is one of the best sub machine guns ever made. While there are many sub-gun designs that have been introduced since the MP5, and despite the introduction of ultra-compact assault rifles, the MP5, thanks its high reliability and compactness, means that it remains even today as one of the best options for close-range combat whether it be in a trench or in a building.
