Will using lead cast (unloaded or unjacketed) bullets negatively affect an MP5?

I know you aren't supposed to shoot exposed lead bullets or unjacketed bullets through a silencer, but what if the MP5 is not silenced?

Also, does anyone know the barrel diameter on a pre86 MP5? I am looking at Dardas bullets, and they're saying I need to slug my barrel. Problem is I don't have possession of the gun yet, and I want to order the bullets now, since they're on like a ten week delay.
