Heckler & Koch MP5A2
The first MP5s looked very different than the MP5s that Movie and television viewers have become accustomed to. Since the early models were rarely (if ever) seen outside of Europe and not manufactured in the same numbers as the common variants (starting with the A2), this page begins with the MP5A2 model, since that is the earliest model MP5 that would be seen in World Cinema.
Also many MP5A2s (and A3s) were retrofitted with ambidextrous Navy lower trigger groups (both in the real world and Movie armories) and many times these MP5N models are confused with the newer factory issued MP5A4s and MP5A5s. The MP5-N (Navy) has a unique 3 lug and threaded barrel unique to the N variant versus four firing positions (which indicates it is a factory A4 or A5 variant).

Heckler & Koch HK94
The Heckler & Koch HK94 was the civilian semiautomatic version of the famous MP5 Submachine gun (with the 'legal' 16" carbine barrel). It was imported in the late 1970s to late 1980s (its importation banned in 1989 by the infamous ATF re-interpretation of the "Sporting Clause" of GCA-68. In May 1989 the ATF determined that the imported 'assault weapons' were not suitable for sporting purposes as put forth by the older GCA 68.), however many more HK94s were imported into the country than factory original MP5s during that time period. In the early 1980s, it was cheaper to convert the plentiful and less expensive semiauto gun and register it as a Title II weapon. A large portion of the full auto MP5s coming into the country were slated for Law Enforcement and Military sales.
Note: In some films of the 1980's and 1990's, the HK94 is "chopped and converted", to look like the MP5A3.

German Sport Guns GSG5 Semi Auto Carbine
German Sport Guns began importing the GSG5 Sporting Carbine into the U.S. in 2007. It is not a Heckler & Koch firearm, but is a .22 LR clone of the MP5. What makes it unique is that many parts are interchangeable with Airsoft MP5 parts, so many gun enthusiasts are putting on telescoping stocks, fake suppressors, tactical flash lights fore ends and rails on these .22 Carbines and pistols. According to American Rifleman gun reviewers the GSG5 holds 24 rounds in the magazine, not 22.
