At the Range with the Iconic MP5A3

My first book is available for pre-order; check it out! https://www.headstamppublishing.com/french-rifle-book http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons The MP5 is widely considered the best submachine gun ever made, for its reliability, its handling, and it's closed-bolt delayed-blowback action. It is so widely praised, in fact, that H&K's efforts to replace it with less expensive polymer submachine guns have largely failed, as their customer simply insist on the MP5. I have had only a brief bit of experience actually using the MP5 myself, and I wanted to take this opportunity while visiting H&K to fix that. So, does it live up to its reputation? In a word, yes. Many thanks to H&K USA for providing me access to this MP5A3, and to Trijicon for graciously providing use of their range! Contact: Forgotten Weapons PO Box 87647 Tucson, AZ 85754
