Today military and police agencies in over 80 countries from Albania to Zambia utilize the weapon.Featuring specially commissioned full-color photographs and expert analysis, this engaging study charts the origins, use, and impact of the MP5, Heckler & Koch’s innovative and long-lived submachine gun.
