Great episode guys! I should note that my initial impression of a supersonic crack from the MP5SD was incorrect - we tried subsonic rounds and the report was the same - what I took to be a 'crack' was really just the 'pop' of the suppressor, far louder indoors than out. I was, I think, believing the hype that the only sound you get from the SD is the bolt reciprocating, which is clearly not true if you look at other channels' footage.

I remember some gun channel did a test (can't remember if it was garand thumb or brandon hererra since they were both in it). The SD variant required standard rounds as if you use subsonic, the gun will not cycle, as it was designed to bleed off the excess gas.

It seems to be only a few Db less than an ordinary MP5 with a modern suppressor (although due to the way Decibels work, still audibly quieter as all the comparison videos do show) - what design the suppressor is makes a big difference to both guns; the modern KAC suppressor for the SD is significantly quieter than the 70s factory one we used.@@LitReflex001

I think that is because the SD basically turns Supersonic bullets into Subsonic bullets. I don't exactly know how it works and I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in this video but a normal MP5 with an external suppressor will not yield the same quietness as the SD does unless you use subsonic ammo. That's what makes the SD different, it takes normal 9mm Supersonic ammo and is still this quiet. Infact it won't even function correctly with subsonic ammo as it won't cycle with it.

I saw the slap described in one of the first manuals from HK, both MP5 and G3. That said, it's more important on the G3 since the bolt might very well not go into battery if you are too careful with it. Used both for many years until they were replaced by 416 and MP7s.

@stickiedmin6508

7 ай бұрын

​@@Kraakesolv It's curious that they waited until the PSG-1 and/or the G41 to try putting a manual bolt closure thingy on the weapons. The rationale for the device on the PSG-1 was that the operator of such a weapon would sometimes find themselves in a situation where they would want to stay as quiet as possible, making a noisy reload undesirable. With the manual bolt closure, they could let the cocking handle ride forward slowly and quietly, then push the bolt home with their right thumb. It would follow surely, that a similar device would have been just as useful on the SD variants for exactly the same reason? When quiet, and stealth are the objectives, noisy and loud reloading sounds aren't exactly desirable, no matter how cool or stylish they might look. The bolt closure on the G41 incidentally, had nothing to do with being quiet - HK were trying to compete for a universal NATO rifle and worried that the Americans would get upset if there wasn't a forward assist, like on the M-16...

You can chamber a round in the G3 by slowly pulling the handle out of its notch and then letting go, so the spring does the work. If you do the same with an MP5 that's been in use for some time as most of the Bund's weapons always have, the spring might not build up the momentum to push the chamber into a fully closed position if you don't hold it the whole way back. As far as I know, anyway.

I spent a bit of time with one at a range in Vegas a few months ago. My only regret is changing mags before pulling the bolt back. But the slap was still quite satisfying.

I think the MP5 is probably one of the first guns I was ever aware of growing up as a specific type and model of firearm that I could recognise across different films and games (probably thanks largely to Die Hard and The Matrix). It's undoubtedly iconic, and just seems so perfectly engineered that I always enjoy seeing them being used and manipulated as all the sounds and movements are just so satisfying. Great episode, glad the venerable MP5 finally got covered in this series.

The MP5 became so iconic, because it´s just such a good firearm. It´s extremely accurate, reliable & very smooth to shoot even in full auto. And it´s still relatively widely used by law enforcement in many countries, despite SMG´s being phased out for more compact carbine style rifles.

Props for including PSR's video in there. That's a like from me!

Definitely wasn’t expecting a PSR clip on here. Very happy though.

Back in the day we called it the "girlie-5" (In Norwegian it rhymes with MP-5), because the standard military assault rifle at the time was the G3,- variant AG3 which is, as Alex pointed out, in the same family, but very much the big brother. So support and base security usually had the MP5. 18 to 20 year olds being what they are off course tacitly mocked the non-grunt's little sister of weapons. Being a signaller now in the national guard I have the MP5. Having used and handled it over a few years, I now see how it fit's its role perfectly. Accurate, lighter, rugged and reliable. And this video made me appreciate it even more.

I would love to see Pump Action MP5 in real life

one of the most, if not the most satisfying guns to reload.

The slap is one of the reasons this weapon is so iconic and why it's captured the public imagination as much as it has, to the point we still talk about it today and consider it the quintessential smg. I like to think that on whichever weapon the slap was introduced for, during the prototyping or trial stages for the weapon, one of the testers slapped the cocking lever and HK realised such a unique method of prepping the gun would make it stand out so went with it.

I recently got to fire an MP5 in full auto. I was surprised by how easy it was to keep it on target. Super controllable. Instantly clear why it is so popular with Military and Police forces around the world.

I Didn't know the GL was a thing, Arnold had an MP5 with GL in "End Of Days" but I thought it was just a cool gimmick for that movie. Love these videos, thanks guys!

SWAT 3 and SWAT 2003 were the source of my love for the MP5. Whenever I boot up the game I usually pick it and go to town, and when SWAT 2003 came out I got it from the library and it came with behind the scenes and extra content, especially the videos on the individual firearms, as a young kid I got super giddy.

I have a mod for Fallout 4 that adds in the MP5. I usually use the SD version - it's one of my two 'stealth' guns, along with a suppressed Steyr AUG. Of course, when I want to go loud, I bring out my neverending Pancor Jackhammer. There are few things as satisfying as unloading a few hundred shells on a horde of ghouls or mirelurks.

good job about Discussion and Review of The Most Slapped Guns In Games - Loadout from MP5

Manufacturer instructs user to follow slap procedure which causes cumulative wear on the receiver and cocking handle. Not suspicious at all, until the cocking handle slips forward 'on its own'.

Dugan Ashley taught us that the SD stands for "Super-Duper quiet".

Love seeing the two you nerding out over guns! Keep up the amazing year, and hopefully a lote more comes in 2024!

Probably the best new year gift.

I can give you military logic reason for the slap. It will allow the bolt close properly. There would be people that would 'guide' the handle to the forward position which would cause malfunction. Teaching people slap the handle would make sure that this will not happen.

My family watches Die Hard every Christmas (as, it is the most Christmassy movie). So, this is the perfect time for this video.

0:51 the torch variant of the MP5 looks like it came from Sons of the Forest and their thoughts to nerf attachments is to obstruct the sights if it's attached.

Great episode as always! 👍 And after seeing the UI for a split second i really wanna dig up Rainbow Six (1-3) now, the actual planning/tactical aspect of that game was amazing and its a real shame they phased that out in the next few games of the series, we could have had something today that would've gone way beyond "ready or not" but instead we have some fast paced slidey shooter that has very little resemblance to the first few games. Ubisoft, if this somehow ever reaches you lot, please realize that you could make a LOT of money if you combine your latest RB6 with your first two-three RB6 games, please consider it.

So glad to have Loadout back!

Dude really went into world of guns and gave his mp5 a banana paint job for the thumbnail. Madman.

8:21 I could imagine a scene where some criminals/terrorists are just sitting around getting annoyed from hearing snaps and claps from the other rooms and probably thinking it was the electric fly catcher or something, oblivious to the fact that a SWAT team is in the midst of clearing their compound.

My favorites are the Perfect Dark zero, Black and counter strike [original xbox ] versions of the smg, the MP5 is a really cool gun indeed. That and the P90 :3

In terms of future episodes, you should take a look at either Squad 44, formerly known as Post Scriptum, or War of Rights, a 200 vs 200 American Civil war team based shooter. Both go to great lengths to have realistic weapons with both small arms and artillery, and both encourage large degrees of team play, with WoRs basically requiring proper line battle formations to achieve success.

Insurgency Sandstorm has two variants of the MP5, the A2 and the A5(?). The A5 can become the MP5SD while the A2 is all external mods. The only game defining differences between outside of aesthetics is the A2 is Single/Full Auto while the A5 has single, burst, and full auto. Both are really good in their own rights and solid platforms with the iconic slap.

I was in Police training for my state in Northern Germany, and we used OG 69/70ies MP5s for the submachinegun training. (We know because they're stamped with the manufacturing year and the Sigil of our state) They still run. They will continue to run. These bad gals won't fail on you if you treat them right. Even after almost 60 years. And the training models get a few hundred rounds put through them each year. They're not being kept neatly in the closet. This is a gun from an era where we were still an industry nation focused on producing high quality products. EDIT Note: My department indoctrinated us to "Slap" it, not just thumb it out like my previous employer.

In the swedish home guard, where we use a swedish variant of the G3 (called the AK 4), we don't slap the handle, but rather make a "karate chop" motion that we follow through and don't stop when hitting the charging handle.

Even though my heart will always belong to the P90 and MP7, there's no denying that the MP5 is the most iconic Sub-Machine Gun.

There's a version of the MP5 out on the American market that's semi-auto and chambered for 22LR. It has a barrel extension that makes it look like it's silenced too. A perfect example of the Rule of Cool, because this thing exists purely so you can slap some SMG while not spending a lot of money for a larger cartridge or the NFA necessary for a silencer.

Jonathan duding out so hard on the The Matrix that he pulls out a “doosh” 😂

Okay, now I want to see Jonathan on the range, maybe a guest on Garand Thumb. He's surely a good shot with all his handling experience.
