Favored by police SWAT and military counter-terrorist teams, the MP5 submachine gun is international in use and unique in the history of military armament. This volume examines the life history of this legendary firearm and is the first comprehensive study of the MP5's development and evolution.

A general overview of the history of firearms and propellants is presented, along with a discussion of ballistics and operating principles of semi-auto and fully auto firearms.

Exploded illustrations of the MP5 accompany in-depth coverage of the manufacturing process, parts, appropriate nomenclature, model acronyms, and endurance tests.

This book also doubles as a guidebook, explaining how to properly shoot, care for, and maintain the gun. Never-before-seen prototype models of the MP5 are featured, along with a complete overview of foreign knock-offs, accessories, and other essential information.
