MP5 sub machine gun

The MP5 is a 9mm submachine gun of German design, developed in the 1960s by a group of engineers from the West German arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH (HK). The company, motivated by the success of the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle developed a group of small arms consisting of four types of firearms (all based on the G3 design layout), where the first type was chambered in 7.62 x 51 mm NATO, the second – using the 7.62 x 39 mm M43 round, third – the intermediate 5.56 x 45 mm NATO caliber and the fourth type – chambering the 9 x 19 mm Parabellum pistol cartridge. The MP5 (short for Maschinenpistole 5) was created within the fourth group of firearms, initially known as the HK54. The weapon makes appearances in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV, although the GTA IV rendition is a heavily modified MP5 called the SW MP-10.

Variants seen in the games:

GTA Vice City Stories (1984): MP5K (humorously, it is just a downsized regular MP5)

GTA Vice City (1986): MP5A3

GTA Liberty City Stories (1998): MP5K (Unlike the VCS rendition, this is a true MP5K)

GTAIV (2008): MP-10 (Modified MP5, made by SW Arms)
