:That's what HKPRO says: ''Difficult to fire accurately, the briefcase can easily put bullet holes into the calf of the firer, should he decide to fire the K on full auto while holding the case normally.  Can you picture it?'' (http://hkpro.com/mp5k.htm) I have no idea how true it is, as I've never seen nor handled the briefcase MP5K. However, I can imagine that if you fire it vertically and you're letting it loosely dangle at your side (the way Til Schweiger is doing in the movie), the recoil would make it difficult to control and you could, maybe, shoot your own legs. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

:: Interesting.  I've only fired it with blanks.  And I held it with two hands, right hand on top, left hand holding the bottom of the case and it was fine.  I think that risk only happens if you hold it buy the carry handle and let it 'dangle', certainly the 'push back' of the constant fire would push the briefcase backwards.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:54, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

the MP5K - A3 switch


he reaches for a fresh magazine, not an A3.

MP5K briefcase

Someone please point me to an outside source which claims that the briefcase version must be fired horizontally. Thanks so much. I haven't heard that before and have fired the device myself vertically. I thought that shooting it horizontally would ensure a stovepipe. MPM2008
