What's the purpose of a 'default' MP5 (like in

Doesn't over penetrate

Muh closed bolt

>in this age
It was hot shit for an SMG in its day, long in the tooth today. Probably continues to see use through a combination of familiarity, good enough performance and cool image.

Because who the fuck wants a keyholing PoS of a rifle, for the sole sake of having an AR pattern like OPERATORS ?

>>32834769
Budget. If it ain't broke, why pay for a new one

Because mp5's are badass.

>>32834769
It fulfills a niche in breaching and very close quarters like city streets against unarmoured people. But mostly >>32834837

it's a light, accurate, very controllable full auto bullet hose. You really don't need much else when upholding a law.

The two handed, rifle-like handling also works as a psychological deterrent; people unconsciously consider anything bigger than a pistol to be more dangerous, which kinda is true too.

>>32834769
It doesn't over-penetrate, has lighter recoil, and when it wounds people, they will be easy to put together(therefore the government won't spend too much of your tax money on patching rifle wounds in criminals).

Plus while it doesn't have integrated suppressor, it can have one.

Tradition. Price. Looks cool. Reliable.

I was under the impression that the 10mm version is more popular these days?

>>32834977
Where would you have gotten that impression? FBI HRT were the only ones who used it and they dropped it from common use about a decade ago.

This thing right here is CQB perfection

>Retractable stock
>Full auto,burst and single

>HK sells mounts so you can slap that sick Aimpoint micro or foregrip on it

UMPs are better in every way

>>32836163
git out

>>32835394
Nevermind I'm autistic

>>32836163
they're heavier,a bit longer than MP5s, and 45 has no significant benefit over 9

>>32836163
MP5SD3 is perfection, 45 cucks gtfo

>>32836163
Heavier, longer, more recoiling mass with a lighter body.

I'll give you that the sights are more to my liking but that's about it

>>32836194
UMPs aren't limited to .45, but that doesn't change the fact that roller delayed > blowback.

>>32836163
I do love me some Fuddy-Five, but the MP5 is much better for police work.

>>32836163

UMP was worst gun in "Rogue Spear".

>>32834769
>>32834894

Don't overestimate Cheap,Simple and light recoil of MP5.
Though i wish they made 10mm Auto Variant.

>>32836163
>just a cheapened, plastic mp5
>somehow better then the full metal real deal
I suppose if you get your taste in guns from shitty modern military shooters

>>32837208
They do.

>>32836226
also metal is better than plastic objectively for the barrel supporting bits of a receiver

>>32837208
MP5/10s are real. FBI issued.

>>32837208
>10mm mp5
It's called the Mp5/10 my nigger

The lack of last round bolt hold open is a deal breaker for me.

Only the FBI MP5/10 has the BHO, sadly. Not sure why MKE, Vector etc didn't pick it up for their guns.

>>32834769
Mostly because they already have them. Very few people are buying new MP5s.

>>32835945
>more silent than an autistic teenager
Then where does the *autistic Screeching* meme come from?

>>32837820
What the fuck are those? They seem so familiar but I don't know their names, and reverse search turns up airsoft

Prototypes or predecessors of the MP5?

>>32838757
I think it was called the SMG2, meant to be an MP5 successor

>>32838340
Autists have two modes without a lot in between.
