HK’s MP5 .22LR: Most Fun You Can Have With Your Pants On

Yes, we know that’s a bold claim … but don’t take our word for it!

Heckler & Koch may have made their bones on foreign shores, but the gun industry giant learned to speak American English pretty quickly and clearly understands what we want: Fun. Ask anyone who’s ever shot an HK MP5 chambered in .22LR and they’ll confirm that it is, indeed, the most fun you can have with your pants on (legally). By pairing up with Umarex, HK-USA has created a civilian-legal version of the famous military submachine gun.

“If you like the SP5, you’re gonna love the MP5 22. It can be a trainer, a suppressor host, or just the coolest .22 LR fun gun on the range. And let’s not forget the fact that, as a semi-auto 22, it’s an MP5 that most of us can actually afford to own and shoot,” said Bill Dermody, HK USA’s Director of Marketing, who probably had pants on.

In this great video from Mission Range and Academy (you should like and subscribe!), reviewer Quin puts this neat little rifle through its paces. (Yes, he is wearing pants.) Just like the original Heckler & Koch SP5, the .22LR MP5 Umarex gives the shooter a great training tool that is also a blast to shoot. Best of all, the retail price is only $479!
