Does anybody know what the correct terminology for the different generations of this gun is? As far as I can tell there are currently 3 different generations of this gun. The first is the one that is what all the variants on the main page are. Then there is a second one where the SIGMod handguard was changed to aluminium rather than carbon fibre, steel inserts were added through the left side of the receiver for the bolt cam pin, the lower was redesigned slightly and has a different safety, mag release and an ambi bolt catch, and the stock is different being thicker and having a slight slope to it. The third model is similar to the second, but introduced a Keymod handgaurd, scalloped the top rail like on the MCX, and the upper was internally redesigned to take calibre conversion kits.

Shouldn't the MCX get it's own page? Excalibur01 (talk) 16:16, 30 August 2016 (EDT)
- Normally it should, I believe, but the thing is that it doesn't have any listed media appearance. It does appear in a video game, but its page lacked screencaps, and thus was deleted. According to the user who made it, the worthy screenshots are the in-game pictures of every weapon since it's a top-down 2D tactical game. Since the VG page's content (still present in the storage) features good descriptions of the weapons, if we upload the aforementioned weapons menu icons coupled with this then I think the page could be eligible.
- If it isn't, I thought we'd put the image here for now, otherwise we just keep it in the SIG-Sauer page.
- --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 18:00, 30 August 2016 (EDT)
- Now the MCX appears in other media; I've created a page for it. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 09:16, 28 November 2016 (EST)
Different Generations?
Does anybody know what the correct terminology for the different generations of this gun is? As far as I can tell there are currently 3 different generations of this gun. The first is the one that is what all the variants on the main page are. Then there is a second one where the SIGMod handguard was changed to aluminium rather than carbon fibre, steel inserts were added through the left side of the receiver for the bolt cam pin, the lower was redesigned slightly and has a different safety, mag release and an ambi bolt catch, and the stock is different being thicker and having a slight slope to it. The third model is similar to the second, but introduced a Keymod handgaurd, scalloped the top rail like on the MCX, and the upper was internally redesigned to take calibre conversion kits. According to this video from SIG, the latter two version are the Gen 1 and Gen 2 respectively, but what does that make the first one that all are images are of? Was this a prototype that was never actually released, or is it just a very early pre-Gen 1 commercially available variant? --commando552 (talk) 07:36, 27 April 2017 (EDT)

The MPX seems to be replacing the MP5
The MP5 is still a very iconic submachine gun that will hardly be forgotten, but to me most movies and games recently seem to favor the MPX in the "generic 9mm SMG" role. John Wick 3, GTA V, TLOU 2 and Valorant just to name a few. --Dan San (talk) 22:01, 18 August 2020 (EDT)
- It looks like the MPX is the MP5 of the current era. The MP5 is quite oldschool to be honest, maybe H&K should do something about this situation. --Nanomat (talk) 22:16, 18 August 2020 (EDT)
