MP5 selector
So they have a continuity error when they use an insert shot of Victor flicking off the safety on his MP5, it's hardly new. But, I did notice that the burst and full auto options are partially obscured. You can clearly see them, yet it looks like they've been painted over. Does H&K cut corners on their semi-auto MP5s this way? --Funkychinaman (talk) 05:21, 26 May 2014 (EDT)

- No it isn't flipped, you can just make out the magazine release button which is on the right side of the magazine well hence making this correct.
