Still impressive for an open-bolt firer. Wonder how good an MP5 would do?
    The K and baby Ks I played with were very accurate. Especially the SD versions.

    The fellas that carried them for their role were scary fast and accurate with them.

    Roller locking and fluted chambers iirc.
    The L2 sterling smg was a pig of a thing.
    I prefered the Aussie version of smg.

    Never fired any of the above mentioned SMGs but had a play with them. Maybe it's because i a lefty but I thought the Sten handled better then the Stirling. MP5s are a work of art with more than a passing resemblance to a STG44.

    Via the G3, you really see the Sturmgewehr-44 / StGw-44 resemblance there, especially with the older, wooden stocked G3.
