HK MP5 SD

by Steve
(Franklin, TN)

MP5SD

MP5SD

Met up with the guys at On-Target Range in Murfreesboro, TN for a pre-Super Bowl shoot!





Because it was Sunday and due to local ordinances, we didn't bring the AK or M4. As we were checking in, James saw the SD on the wall and asked if we could shoot the suppressed HK MP 5.

Guess it doesn't violate the local noise restrictions.

It's a fun gun to shoot but not my weapon of choice. I still lean toward the AK and the HK 416.

If you do get a chance to shoot the HK MP 5, bring plenty of ammo!

Just a note
by: Dan

I have also gotten a fair amount of time behind the MP5SD. The thing to remember about any weapons is that they are purpose built. The weapon carried should be a mission specific choice. The MP5SD in any case is a fine weapon and one of the quietest suppressed weapons I have ever fired (With sub-sonic loads) and you'll never be able to debate it's reliability and accuracy. But it still suffers from the limitations of its caliber. It is an absolutely fine weapon for the low penetration requirements of urban CQB. With a sub-sonic load like the Federal Tactical HST or Hydra-Shok in 147 grain you will have more than adequate stopping power. But when you move away from the CQB arena, then yes there are other better choices of armament.
