Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Used by presenter Jeremy Clarkson during a "Car Biathlon" intended to test SUVs. Fitted with an M68 Aimpoint scope and flashlight in the forearm, he failed to hit any of the targets, but managed to hit a tree enough for it to fall over... somehow... Clarkson incorrectly called it a 'machine pistol'.
