The Heckler & Koch MP5-K is a specialized shortened version of the base submachinegun featuring a short barrel and forward grip for added control when firing.
It is sometimes dubbed the 'Room Broom' because of it's intended purpose. The compact size and ability to use high capacity magazines make sure that the weapon delivers as advertised. The early model featured only safe, semi and automatic fire capability, subsequent models included three, (and later two,) round burst mode.
Despite it's lack of buttstock it is surprisingly easy to control in burst/auto mode, especially when using a properly adjusted sling.
