MP5

The Heckler & Koch Maschinenpistole 5 , or MP5, is a SMG that is chambered in 9mm Ammo.

Info
The MP5 is a good, common Weapon during early-game, allowing one to accurately spray down unarmored opponents to score easy kills. The MP5's effectiveness lowers in the later game, where the 9mm bullets do little against good Armor. You should go for this weapon in the early game stage as it is similar to the MAC-10, but it sports way less spread, longer firing delay and a longer reload time, but in return has better damage. It is also a good substitute to the UMP9, sporting better DPS, good accuracy, and can be fired in a burst fashion if that's how you wield it.

Strategies

 * Compared to other fully automatic weapons, the MP5 is rarely used late-game due to its relatively low rate of damage. Weapons like the M416 or AK-47 are superior in many different aspects, and one of these should replace the MP5 later on.
 * Using a fully automatic weapon paired with a shotgun can be deadly.
 * This is one of the most universal guns in the game, as it has high accuracy and range, a short barrel (the shorter the better), has a decent reload time, is very common and has a controlled fire rate compared to its mag size.
 * This is a great weapon early in the game when paired with an 8x or 15x scope due to its great accuracy, especially when compared to weapons such as the MAC-10 or M9.

Countering

 * The MP5 is arguably the second worst SMG in the game. When fighting an MP5 user, make sure you have a weapon, any weapon besides Pistols, will do fine. But do not be careless for it is still quite good and can be used even in the end game if in the right hands. Be careful, when fighting long-range people, as the MP5 is extremely accurate.

Pros

 * High fire rate
 * Decent magazine
 * Short reload time
 * Common and useful

Cons

 * Average damage
 * Low-Mid DPS
 * Unsuitable for long range

Trivia

 * The icon for the MP5 is based on the A5 model, as indicated by its telescoping stock and its straight, non-grooved pistol-grip.
 * The sprite is missing a cocking handle, though the sprite could be from the other side.
