My Favorite Submachine Gun: The HK MP5 SD

Kit Up: The HK MP5 SD

Ok, if Santa really existed I'd have asked to have him to sneak into the west coast SEAL armory and liberate my old MP5 SD. This bad boy will drive nails at 50 yards and give bad guys an Excedrin headache they won't wake up from. What is a sub machine gun attribute ask you? An automatic weapon that fires subsonic ammunition, something many people forget. Below is a quick clip of this bad boy in action...an excellent quiet kill option (did I just say that out loud?).

Hello again friend....The MP5SD. Enjoy-Brandon

From HK

The MP5SD is the full-time suppressed variant of the MP5 submachine gun. This version uses an integral aluminum or optional wet-technology stainless steel sound suppressor. Due to its ported barrel, it does not require use of subsonic ammunition for effective sound reduction like most conventional sound suppressed submachine guns. The removable sound suppressor is integrated into the weapon’s design and conforms to the normal length and profile of a conventional, unsuppressed sub machine.
