This variant of the Mp5 came into existence in the early 70's when various security agency requested an abbreviated version of Heckler Koch's iconic submachine gun. In exchange for losing longer range accuracy and controllability operators got a closed bolt smg that could be concealed under heavy coats, stowed easily insides vehicles, and could even be carried and fired from within a special briefcase. In later years a side-folding stock was added to return some some its original small carbine accuracy of the original Mp5 without compromising too much concealability.

Points of interest, the downward projecting hook on the front foregrip acts as a barrier to prevent the operator from accidentally placing a finger in front of the muzzle and getting it shot off! This version is one of the earlier versions which does not have the smooth side lower receiver or the pictographic selector of later models. It also is equipped with the short 20rd magazine.
