Yes, it does. Would the typical operator use one at that distance? Likely not. The MP5-Series is a CQC/CQB weapon. It is a design with an emphasis on portability so that the operator is able to carry other things - many other things while simultaneously carrying the MP5. The designed has evolved. One of the variants is the MP5 Personal Defense Weapon (PDW); a version that is meant to be a compromise when a handgun is inadequate and a larger (read shoulder) weapon such as the "standard" MP5 or a Colt M4 is just too large. BTW, I'ved placed rounds from the PDW in a 2.5-foot "circle" at 15 yards. It took a lot of practice but it is achieveable. Fifteen yards is not a significant distance, however in full auto, it is about the maximum I would care to use it in a real scenario.

Greetings everyone. "Newbie" here.
