The Heckler & Koch MP5k is shrouded in greater mystery than you think. While there may be many images of it now, it is still difficult to spot them "in the wild" due to their users' preference for low-profiles...
So exactly why were they created? Who used them? Why did H&K USA subsequently make an MP5k PDW? We teamed up with James Williamson from ‪@teufelshundtactical‬ to get some of these questions answered, and explore the process of modernizing the MP5k PDW.
You may be suprised at the the performance of this "kleiner" beast when pushed with the latest accessories!

I attended an H&K MP-5 school back in '88. They had a sling set up that we adjusted to our particular build. We would extend the MP5 straight out and leveled just below our chin and ran the gun like a tank turret. As long as you kept your shoulders squared to the target and the muzzle directly beneath chin level, the rounds impacted where we were looking. It did not matter where the target was heighth wise, as long as you kept the muzzle parallel under you chin when you raised your head to look at the target you would hit it. They had a very challenging low light test on the run and full auto. the technique worked like a charm.

@@cletustheslackjawedyokel6083 forget the B&T mags. Get the one model with Glock mags and you are all set. Glock mags are great, durable, reliable and cheaper than the B&T..so win win..:-) I cant compare the GHM9, but I heard that the APC9 has got slightly softer recoil than the GHM9. You pay almost 1k more for APC9, so it better be better at something..:-) I think the APC9k (the short version) is the way to go. Especially, when compared to MP5 (or MP5k). Its cheaper, and overall wins on so many different things. MP5 has got a great history and is still a great gun, but is just behind on many things (got stuck in the 70's and didnt keep up with new developments).

I’ve wanted one since HK’s 2016 version of sp5k. Ever since the pdw version came out last year I’ve hunted tirelessly for one but since they are so few in production in comparison to anything else HK offers and demand is absolutely through the roof, the only reliable place to find them is going up against the shills on GB, which easily puts the final price tag $1k or $2k or even more above msrp. Finding one for the right price is near impossible right now and I’ve gotten close a couple times but wasn’t fast enough to secure it. Someday…

Great content, as always. The MP5 is of course, one heckuva weapon. But man, are they ridiculously expensive these days, esp. given that, as this vid points out, getting one is just the beginning of being able to outfit it as a modern weapon. My dream would be that HK take the internals of the MP/SP5 and put it into a more modern chassis and release it as the MP/SP5 2.0 (or whatever). Of course, my other dream would be actually finding one for normal MSRP, which isn't going to happen any time soon by the look of things. In the meantime, dropping $4-5k (or more) for a MP/SP5 is kind of insane. Esp. when there are more modern options (B&T, Sig...) that will do everything the HK will do, and all you need to do is bolt on an optic and a light and you're ready to go, for thousands less.
