The Heckler & Koch MP5 is a short-range automatic known for its fast firing rate and reload time. It can be used effectively at close and medium distances; at long range, it is overcome by the other conventional autos in Soldat; the AK-74, the Steyr AUG, and the FN Minimi.
The MP5 is the optimal choice for short range combat at a fast and furious pace; it is not difficult to mow down multiple opponents in a short time with this weapon. In recent versions (normal mode), the MP5 has lost a bit of firepower and is slightly slower in reload speed, but it has completely no bink and movement inaccuracy.

[edit] In-game tactics
Pick the MP5 at maps that do not require a lot of long-range shooting, but allow enough movement to dodge the SPAS shots. Don't hesitate to fire many bullets, the gun reloads quickly. Against most opponents, simply get close and let it rock. If your opponent wields a SPAS, try to keep a bit of a distance between you, simply so he will hurt more than you when hit. All the usual advice applies (short bursts, altitude advantage, etc.) All in all, a weapon that is quite simple to get accustomed to.
- Always pick up a dropped MP5 since it's the perfect secondary weapon.
[edit] As a real life weapon
The MP5 is commonly considered the best submachine gun in the world, used by numerous armies, police forces and security specialists around the world. although it is slowly becoming dated, and the German manufacturer Heckler&Koch is promoting the more modern UMP as its successor. The MP5's unconventional delayed-blowback roller lock was originally developed for the G3 Battle Rifle, but has been put to good use in other HK weapon systems as well.
