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 submachine 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 Special 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.
