Video - me tearning up the front of a truck with a MP5
Here's a video I shot a few years ago of me ripping up the front windshield of a Ford pickup I bought for a target.

I can't afford that much ammo at today's prices
Wow ! What a shoot but ammo (.223/5.56) comes a bit dear these days.
Even Wolf when and if you can get it. Great show, though. |

If you give me that MP5 it will shoot better and faster. Especially when I use it.

I think he's testing some sort of frangible bullet for LEO use.

You are right, that ammo is PMC Green. It is frangible and designed for LE use. That demo is to show that the slugs break-up into, essentially, a fine powder. IIRC, they are made of powdered metal and formed by extremely high pressure into bullet molds. Upon impact with a hard surface, they disintegrate back into their original powder form.

Is it easy to stay on target with an MP5, shooting fully automatic? Is it heavy? Or do you simply know how to handle it?

MP5's are notoriously easy to maneuver on automatic fire because of their roller-delayed blowback recoil system. They are not particularly heavy either.

It takes practice and being properly trained in their use. If I give my MP5 to a novice, they shoot all over the place on full-auto. I can do the same thing with a M16... again, practice is the key to controllability.

This gal seems to have absolutely no problems with full auto...or anything else for that matter.

LOL!! I left a funny comment on the OP's original video link.
But, yeah, pretty much any stocked sub-machinegun is easy to control. I remember when I got to shoot a Micro UZI and a full sized UZI. The stock sure made a huge difference in controlability. |
