Heckler & Koch MP5

The MP5 is a 9mm sub-machine gun designed by German gun manufacturer Heckler & Koch in the late sixties, based on the G3 series of assault rifles. It's gained a reputation for extreme accuracy for a sub-machine gun and as a police and special forces weapon due to its use by several military and law enforcement agencies, including the U.S Special Forces, Special Air Service, GSG-9 and several Special Weapons and Tactics teams.

The MP5 was the weapon of choice for the Select Police Force and the Umbrella Security Service. The player can use the MP5 in Resident Evil Outbreak and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and they have been seen in Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. It is often one of the primary machine guns featured.

Resident Evil: Degeneration

 * MP5K-PDW: Angela Miller is seen using this variant with a custom hand guard and fore grip that includes an integrated flashlight as well as a raised top rail mounted in place of the factory original sights very similar to a G36C's and a retractable butt stock instead of the PDW folding stock.

Resident Evil (film)
Rain Ocampo and Alfonso Warner used an MP5K in the movie as their primary weapon. Alice also found one in her bedroom drawer.

S.T.A.R.S. members were seen using the MP5A3, while Alice had a pair of custom MP5Ks with the foregrips removed and nickel plated receivers.

Alice once again utilizes this weapon during the zombie attack on the prison roof. Oddly enough, she doesn't dual-wield this weapon like she did before.

Resident Evil 5

 * MP5A3: With a reflex sight, the foregrip with the surefire flashlight and the navy trigger group. It is found in the beginning of chapter 2-1. Here it features a base firepower of 60, a reload speed of 2.70 seconds and a capacity of 45 rounds but its maximum stats are a firepower of 120, a reload speed of 2.10 seconds and a capacity of 150 rounds. It has the special ability of "Piercing" much like the H&amp;K P8.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

 * A variant of the MP5 is seen in the hands of both USS and Government Spec Ops forces. It generally resembles the MP5A3 seen in other games, but lacks a reflex sight. It does, however, have a laser sight, much like it did in Resident Evil 5. It also seems to be the standard weapon of the UBCS mercenaries.

Resident Evil: The Deck Building Game
The MP5 is a Weapon card in the Resident Evil DBG, here called the Full Bore Machine Gun. The FBMG is the "special weapon" of the Machine Gun deck in the Resource Area. Its effect states that if a player is Exploring with it and has more than 100 ammo, the weapon gets +30 Damage, giving it 70 Damage altogether. Its Gold Cost is 100, making it one of them most expensive cards in the game. It has an ammo requirement of 70 and its base damage is 40.

Trivia
- This weapon's description at the Operation Raccoon City weapon menu also states that it is popular with the Umbrella Secret Service and the RPD's S.W.A.T. division. Both statements are correct.
