Dear Henry, it is absolutely beyond me why US-authorities ever thought you were a spy. You speak at least 6 languages, can sing 5 different national anthems and understand hundreds of idiomes of many cultures. You teach us about exotic weapons and collaborate with illustrious individuals all over the globe (e.g. your cousin). And best of all, you are an expert shooter on pretty much every light arm system on the planet. How could they ever took you for a foreign spy?..............................................Oh, wait🤔
YUP, I attended an ITD course in Fort Wolters Texas in 1988. Phil Singleton made it a real experience that I will never forget. Also good for giving James from Teufelshund Tactical some love. He is a great source for all things in life, including the MP-5.
naaa i actually really enjoyed the video. got to shoot a K model last summer by luck and it was super sweet. if they wasnt so expensive (along with the aftermarket parts) id have one. *shrugs*
Them: "I don't get why you paid so much for that HK clone, my AR9 does the same thing and takes cheap Glock mags." Me: "Here, try it. Take this mag." Them, after experiencing the recoil impulse of the roller system in 9mm: "I hate you now."
My BFF's dad was a swat cop for 25 years. He said the mp5 is the greatest CQB implement of all time. It's rugged reliability saved his life more than once. His mp5 collection is beautiful.
20:39 Those aren't Swedish police, you can tell by the patch on their arms that they're Norwegian police. Danes and Norwegians spell "police" as "politi" whilst us Swedes spell it "polis". I know that someone else already beat me to the punch on this one, but I felt some further clarification was needed.
Hey Henry, have you thought about stretching the MP5's legs on the service rifle course? I'm sure it would probably max out before you'd get to 500, but it would be interesting to see just how far you could go with it. If you do ever try it, I think the solid stock with irons would be the coolest way. You could also try some of the older military SMG's on the service rifle course. Seeing as how they were issued among rifle squads, it would be a fitting test. Things like the MP-40's, Thompsons, M3's, maybe a Suomi or PPSH if you could swing it. There're plenty others, but those would probably be some of the easiest ones. No weird calibers like the French ones. I mean, those would be neat, but good luck finding reliable examples, and ammunition.
As am I… testing the Suomi (a la Winter War ski troops) or PPSh-41 (entire Soviet divisions armed primarily with it) or MP40 (Late war Wehrmacht troops having to take single shots, conserving ammo, in defensive roles) at longer ranges would give better historical context for the capability of these weapons. Maybe test not just well aimed shots but how quickly each can score multiple hits at 50-75m
Hello guys! Henry, you deserve as well as Ian the French FRF2 sniper badge. A few point on the MP5 with the Gendarmerie intervention (response) units: the first model of MP5 with the (pre 2007) GIGN was the SD, while the primary assault/CQB weapon was the MR 73 revolver; the K model was used first by the EPIGN (a unit that was included in the post 2007 GIGN as both Observation & Search and Security & Protection forces ) for close protection duties; then the A 3 became widely used for CQB. The PI2G were regional response units that became part of the "new" GIGN in 2021, but are not as the same level as the Force Intervention, a bit like if the regional FBI SWAT units (full time) were part of the HRT. Some MP 5 were bought for the Gendarmerie mobile branch with the special budget for the winter Olympics in 1992. Then it became a patrol weapon, especially popular for training with smaller gendarmes, to be followed by the HK UMP 9 and recently the G36 K for the PSIG "Sabre" fast response county units.
When I was a kid, I seen the MP5 as the coolest SMG, that opinion still hasn't changed. The 90s one with the grip light is still easily my favorite style of MP5, love the aesthetics 👌
@@andersjjensen They had a last round bolt hold open on the 10mm mp5's made for HRT. I dunno why they didn't standardize that feature. It really is a nice feature to have on a firearm.
@@sergecashman4822 I haven't shot an MP5, but I have shot a G3 an awful lot, and you quickly learn to recognise the difference in bolt sound and feel when it slams home without picking up a cartridge.
I carried an MP5A3 for about 10 years on a SWAT team. We would routinely make 150yd hits on metal plates once we got them dialed in. Loved that little thing but an M4 took its place eventually.
The 1990's fixed stock MP5, especially with a KAC rail, will always be the coolest MP5 possible. A tiny, badass rifle. Thank you guys for the great videos! 👍
@@planetcaravan2925 yeah, I know them well. I'm just saying that configuration makes it handle more like a rifle than you typically think of for a SMG. For example, shooting that, compared to how you might shoot something with a collapsible stock or none at all, etc.
Henry, without a doubt, this is the most AWESOME MP5 and MP5k documentary to hit the screen to date. You even included a literal all-star cast to go with with it. Even with Teufelshund Tactical AND HK under his belt, you'll probably have James Williamson wanting to step up his game after this gets out for sure! Bravo!
The smooth shooting characteristics of the MP5 really keeps it coming back over and over. The only gun that I have fired that matches it was the CMMG radial delay blowback. Digging the outro by the way. Way to make me stick around for all the credits, ha.
A couple of things I've gathered from my research for a game I've been developing for some time; specifically on the MP5-N (KAC) and Laser Products. Circa 1986, HK fulfilled the request for the Navy SEAL's upgrade requirements; Ambi selector and threaded barrel. Note that in the '80s there were no suppressors designed for the 3-lug as of yet. This suffices the threaded barrel in conjunction of KAC, which I'm sure was co-developed on behalf of HK. This also was likely co-developed with the HK P9S (context of the rarity of mainstream suppressed (.45acp/9mm) service pistols (not to be confused w/ integral .22lr pistols) For Laser Products, brings us a year earlier. In 1985, they've released under barrel weapon light products for the 1911, 92FS, 870, and of course the MP5. They would also later develop weapon lights for the p226 and Benelli M1 (LAPD request) by the late '80s. LAPD Metro SWAT (D-Platoon) was one of the earliest adopters. D-Platoon has been trained alongside Delta, HRT, SAS, GSG9, and GIGN, especially in preparation for the 1984 Olympics. Scotty Reitz (Uncle Scotty), writer of SWAT magazine and ex-LAPD SWAT, had put a special emphasis on 'clean mechanics'. Nutshell; natural 2nd nature usage of manual of arms, gear, and shooting techniques. This is later developed in mind of the LAPD's famous iconic 3a HRM Tactical Vest. Note the snap/Velcro modularity. Prior to this, SWAT had to sewn in pouches in Vietnam era pilot survival vest for their MP5s. In regards to the suppressor and weapon combo, there is a problem. Physically the light is in the way of the suppressor, so Laser Products to develop an attachment for the weapon to be redirected to a lower position if needed. What's interesting on laser Products weapon lights seen in late the '80s and early 90s films. Cliff Hanger, Arizona Heat (870), Last of the Finest, and American Yakuza 2.
Literally the only thing I would change about the HK roller-delay family is replacable rear grips like on the AK or AR. There's something to be said when you find that perfect grip.
Kudos Henry, you nailed it. My Law Enforcement career spanned this time frame and I had quite a bit of trigger time on the MP-5. I was even lucky enough it work as an Adjunct Instructor for HK ITD from 1998 to 2008. Many HK videos are lacking in factual accuracy and history...you got it right. Well done.
20:39 Norwegian police, not swedish. I have some ammo in different NATO packaging, some say "pistol ammunition" and some "not suitable for pistol" . Old ammo from the 60`s and 70`s. I guess they made very hot loads for the smg`s and standard loads for pistols. In some ammo I see that they are more tipped than standard off the shelf training ammo. I love your videos. Keep them coming :)
The MP5 platform is still the king of cool. I love my AP5, but I haven't looked enough into getting any upgrades for it, because I currently just enjoy it as a blaster. It's definitely a favorite candidate for a proper form 1.
The official factory modernization package of the MP5 MLI is a notable footnote for the 2010's chapter of the gun. Not sure how much traction its gotten on the market, but it exists and has its spot in the catalogue.
How lucky are we today? Used to be Tales of the Gun and Weaponology were peak firearms content (along with a few others) and ran repeatedly on syndication. This video absolutely ranks amongst the top tier of historical gun shows
I have a SP5 SBR with HK A3 Stock, MI pic rail, YHM R9 and currently an Aimpoint PRO. Fun to shoot but a little gassy as a southpaw. I also have a ZF-5T SBR with B&T UMP stock, HKP forgrip, and CGS Mod9K.
How do you guys keep producing the absolute gold standard for firearm enthusiast videos? Thanks to everyone involved for producing such thoroughly entertaining and informative videos. Cheers. (I honestly love this content).
Comparing the size of a modern red dot sight to a 35mm film canister made me chuckle. My guess is there are more people today who have seen a T-2 or Holosun than a 35mm film canister. Being old, I actually have a couple, though I haven't taken a picture with a film camera in decades. Love the MP-5!
I grew up in Los Angeles County during the 90’s living next door to a LAPD SWAT officer. At the time my friends and I were really into Airsoft and I had purchased an MP5A4 with the fixed stock. One day my friends and were loading up our gear when He spotted my replica and immediately came over for a closer look. He was blown away by how similar they looked and immediately opened his trunk and whipped out the real deal, an A5 with the flashlight grip. That was the first time I had ever held a real gun and it is one of those cool memories that I remember as a kid.
I just picked up an MKE for sub $1k, and needed some guidance as to where to go in regards to turning it into something more practical than its pistol configuration. Great video

(first I´ve seen this video on Weapons and War!)
Nice video. But as a German I would recommend to reevaluate the „conquer the world“ part. We didn’t have the best experience here and I think the world had mixed emotions about it as well. In hindsight it probably was a mistake. But if you decide to go that way: take a MP5 !
I wish the AR had such a proven, ubiquitous, and dead-simple way to mount a light as the MP5 Surefire handguard. Closest I can think of is the Surefire VFG, but it doesn't hit that same sweet-spot at all.
Out of my entire meager collection of guns, the favorite of every new and experienced shooter that tries my guns have always been my MP5 clones. New shooters are always remarking about how accurate and easy the gun is to use.

This is so true. Everyone I have let shoot the MP5 immediately "gets it"
The CMMG Radial Delay blowback AR-9 is really close as far as the recoil impulse of the MP-5 and yes it takes Glock mags.
The answer is JP5. Ar ergos, Glock mags, roller delay.
@@celmer6From what I've seen, which admittedly isn't much, the CMMG radial stuff lacks the nigh perfect reliability that the MP5 is known for.

Thats the Surefire foreend with 6P light.
Just when I was starting to get over my lust for the MP5, here comes 9Hole rolling like a freight train to bring me back.
11:37 That Laser Products Colt Trooper laser sight with the irons on top of it is pretty sick!!!
Honestly the only must have modern feature that I feel like the MP5 is missing is a last round bolt hold open.
If they could make that, and make the bolt auto-release (and feed reliably!) when you insert the next mag, that would be the be-all, end-all feature.
@@andersjjensen They had a last round bolt hold open on the 10mm mp5's made for HRT. I dunno why they didn't standardize that feature. It really is a nice feature to have on a firearm.
That can actually be conquered with good use of the push button mag release.

A couple of things I've gathered from my research for a game I've been developing for some time; specifically on the MP5-N (KAC) and Laser Products.
Circa 1986, HK fulfilled the request for the Navy SEAL's upgrade requirements; Ambi selector and threaded barrel. Note that in the '80s there were no suppressors designed for the 3-lug as of yet.

Scotty Reitz (Uncle Scotty), writer of SWAT magazine and ex-LAPD SWAT, had put a special emphasis on 'clean mechanics'. Nutshell; natural 2nd nature usage of manual of arms, gear, and shooting techniques. This is later developed in mind of the LAPD's famous iconic 3a HRM Tactical Vest. Note the snap/Velcro modularity. Prior to this, SWAT had to sewn in pouches in Vietnam era pilot survival vest for their MP5s.
In regards to the suppressor and weapon combo, there is a problem. Physically the light is in the way of the suppressor, so Laser Products to develop an attachment for the weapon to be redirected to a lower position if needed.
What's interesting on laser Products weapon lights seen in late the '80s and early 90s films. Cliff Hanger, Arizona Heat (870), Last of the Finest, and American Yakuza 2.
The 1990's full stock with flashlight built into the handguard is my absolute favorite MP5 model!

Not saying other options replaces the MP5, but the 9mm AK and AR options are great platforms too. Would like to see a comparison.

This is such a well put together video on this platform.
absolutely amazing, thanks for the god damn great video my friend
Loved the methodical narration. Great video with lots of good information and plenty of seeeeexy rifles
Such a quality and awesome video! Great job!
The Iranian version of HK MP5 is named Tondar (thunder) but we call it baby G3 here.
This intro music be slapping.
I wish the AR had such a proven, ubiquitous, and dead-simple way to mount a light as the MP5 Surefire handguard. Closest I can think of is the Surefire VFG, but it doesn't hit that same sweet-spot at all.
Check out the surefure m500a and LED lamp replacements
Great video! Thanks for the perspective.
Great video, thanks
Henry is just being uppity with his MP5 collection. I see you Henry...I see you.
I love the video! You missed one of my favorite appearances of the MP5... Stargate SG1! I want a SG1 clone MP5 super bad. Keep up the great work.
What a video, great quality!
FINALLY the promised MP5 content has arrived!!! 🙌
Will the MPX, UMP9 & Vityaz PP-19 replace the MP5 in future? I think Henry you need to make a video to compared the MP5A3 to these three SMG.
Out of my entire meager collection of guns, the favorite of every new and experienced shooter that tries my guns have always been my MP5 clones. New shooters are always remarking about how accurate and easy the gun is to use.
