Jesus now I need one of these
I’m picking up my Rattler tomorrow. I fully expect it will meet all my needs for a compact “PDW”-type weapon. I’ve decided to setup a spare AR lower as a 9mm “Rattler Trainer”. For close-in/steel work.
I still want one of these HKs, because reasons that make no sense and need no explanation.
Anything MP5 will always be relevant.
I’m pretty sure I’ve previously posted about always having wanted an MP5 after watching Die Hard as a kid. Like a few others, the large PDW thread basically cured me of wanting a semi-auto version of an SMG for anything serious, whereas a Sig Rattler sounds more practical. An SP5 would just be a really expensive toy for me so I do wish it was a bit cheaper. Assuming that “assault weapons” are still legal in a couple of pay grades, I might end up picking one of these up.

I remember the first time I shot an MP5 on full auto. I thought it was "boring". I mean...it's just there...it shoots, it's fairly smooth, no fan fare, no substantial muzzle rise, keeps working, etc. I told my buddy, "God dude...I dunno, I thought it would be cool, but it's just so boring, like it's just a machine."
My buddy says to me, "Dude...that's how it is supposed to work. It just works..."
Upon receiving that revelatory information, I realized he was right. And then I realized...you can do things with a full auto MP5 that you cannot do with other full auto weapons. It got way more fun to shoot after that.
