I’ve shot MP5s at legal machine-gun ranges several times, and they’re very easy to manage in the full-auto mode. And, since it shoots the mild 9x19mm Luger round, the recoil is not great. It may be called a machine pistol, but it feels far more like a rifle when you actually hold one. Single fire refers to semiautomatic fire, in which one pull of the trigger results in just one round being fired.Īn MP5 firearm is a chunky beast that puts a lot of steel in your hands. SF stands for Single Fire, but of course their gun was not restricted to a 16-inch barrel and could be made in a more compact size. The FBI also ordered a special semiautomatic variation of the MP5, which was labeled the MP5SFA2. That special model of the gun is designated the HK 94 and is not easy to find. use, the gun also must have a barrel that’s at least 16 inches long because it has a shoulder stock. The letters PDW in the name mean Personal Defense Weapon, which connotes a legal-to-own semiautomatic version of a gun that’s normally restricted to licensed ownership, only. Instead, you shoot one shot each time the trigger is pulled. You cannot “spray and pray” with this BB gun like you can with a full-auto AEG airsoft gun. That’s what has been incorporated into this BB gun, as well. While it looks the same as a full-auto gun, there’s only one shot per trigger-pull. And, there’s a civilian version of the MP5 that offers semiautomatic fire only. So, this model is a shortened version of the gun. The “K” designator stands for kurtz kurz, which means short, in German. The MP5 K-PDW is a copy of Heckler & Koch’s 9mm machine pistol, or what is commonly referred to as a submachine gun. Those guns are airsoft guns, not BB guns.Īnd this definition matters when unknowing parents and their children are buying and using these products, because it’s extremely dangerous to use a true BB gun like this one in a skirmish, where participants shoot at each other! I am talking about a gun that shoots steel BBs - not the 6mm plastic balls that Asian manufacturers call BBs. Let’s be clear about the definition of a BB gun right now. One big clue that the HK MP5-K PDW is not an airsoft gun is the lack of an orange muzzle, which is required by law for all airsoft guns sold in the United States, but is not relevant to BB guns. Umarex HKMP5-K-PDW is a lightweight, handy BB-firing semiauto.Īt the SHOT Show this year, I was surprised in the Umarex booth by the appearance of a BB gun that looked for all the world like an airsoft automatic electric gun (AEG).
