The MP5(short for Maschinenpistole 5 or "machine pistol model 5") is a 9mm sunmachine gun of German design, developed in the 1960s by a team of engineers from theWest German small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH( H&K) of Oberndorf am Neckar.
It is currently used by the armed forces and law enforcement units of over 40 countries. The MP5 remains one of the most widely deployed of all current submachine guns and has been developed into a family with numerous variants.
In the 1990s, Heckler & Koch developed the Heckler & Koch UMP, the MP5's successor though both remain in production.
