The original 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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
The "Fake MP5", the Heckler & Koch HK94 Converted to full auto fire, shortened barrel and added third firing position on trigger pack - 9mm. This version was used in many films during the 1980s and 1990s.

The Heckler & Koch HK94 was the civilian semiautomatic version of the famous MP5 Submachine gun (with the 'legal' 16" carbine barrel). Imported in the late 1970s to late 1980s (it's importation banned by the infamous BATF re-interpretation of the "Sporting Clause" of GCA-68 in 1989), many more H94s were imported into the country than factory original MP5s during that time period. The fact that (in 1985 dollars) the HK94 was $600 and the full auto MP5 was about $2400, it was cheaper to convert the semiauto gun and register it as a Title II weapon. Also most 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.


Film

  • Terrorists and Bruce Willis as Detective John McClaine in Die Hard (Chopped and Converted to look like MP5A3s.)
  • Mitchell Ryan as General Peter McAllister and Mel Gibson as Detective Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon (also L.A.P.D. SWAT in a deleted scene) (Chopped and Converted to look like MP5A3s.)
