Heckler & Koch MP5 is a sub-machine gun first developed and manufactured during the mid-1960's. The firearm has a number of different variants, including the MP5K and the SD series. The in-game version, or MP5SD2, is the second SD series variant, and features a built-in suppressor, a fixed stock, and an air-cooling carbined barrel, allowing for a high rate of fire. The weapon uses 9 x 19mm rounds in a 30-round box magazine. You can first use this gun at the start of the Eastern Europe level of MGS4. The MP5SD, the first variant, is only available to use in the MGS PC demo. It's fully automatic and equipped with a suppressor.
[edit] In Game
The first MGS PC Demo and the PC Version on Very Easy features this gun, capable of holding up to 999 rounds with full-automatic firing. The weapon is available to the player and can be purchased from Drebin for 15,000 Drebin Points during Act 4. It is depicted as one of the weakest weapon in-game, the other being the Race Gun. It takes at least 3-4 torso shots to take out a regular soldier in Liquid Easy difficulty, whereas other weapons would take 1 except for the Race Gun. But it is highly accurate, so head-shots should be taken whenever possible. It has no attachments in-game. It's a very stealthy weapon, ideal for silent takedowns if you're low on Drebin Points and good at head-shots. It seems that this is the same model of MP5SD used in the MGS PC Demo(MP5SD2).
