SP5 - The legendary MP5: Civilian only
The special feature of the SP5 is its roller-delayed blowback. This elaborate bolt group principle is unique. It ensures a soft recoil and thus for a high precision behaviour that is not comparable with any other weapon in this category. This is one of the reasons why the MP5, the military/law enforcement version of the SP5, is an integral part of almost all western defence and police units. Over decades, the weapon has proven to be extremely robust.
