It's a shorter version of the more familiar MP5, as manufactured by German company Heckler and Koch. The MP5K is a shortened version of the MP5A2 variant - it was introduced in 1976. As with most of the MP5 family, it fires the familiar 9-by-19 millimetre parabellum cartridge, as per the NATO standard for handguns and submachine guns. The iron sights are the usual rotary drum rear with front hooded post, as seen on the full-size MP5. In game, the MP5k has a fast rate of fire and deals high damage up close. The fact that it's an SMG means you get the mobility benefit of a lightweight weapon too. However, the light weight of the weapon means felt recoil is significant. Coupled with a large drop off in damage at range, this means the MP5k cannot compete at longer distances. If you try and use the MP5k in a run-and-gun style as a lone wolf you will find yourself being picked off by assault rifles, snipers, and LMGs time and time again. You need to get close to your enemy for the MP5k to be effective - and it's up close where you can really be devastating with this weapon. There are a few different tactics that can work. The MP5k does high damage within optimum distance, so even with cold-blooded you can still kill quickly - the MP5k is a fine SMG to use silenced. The high mobility of the SMGs means that a rush or flanking style class can be used, too - although I found it was hard to attain higher kill streaks, you can break their into spawn from either the rear or via the flank and clear out a locked-down area. The most effective strategy I found was to use the SMGs in a support role in team games. While this may not have the glamour of being the lone wolf type, it was very effective and landed me the highest KDR in the game consistently - and often the highest number of kills, too.
