My own experience with a good few MP5's over the years only reinforces my comments.

I will add that H&K guns go well until they stop. Those fairly frequent times are almost always caused by parts breakage.

How many high round count POF MP5s have you handled? And what failures did you see on the HK rifles? Most breakdowns of roller delay guns are due to extractor springs, magazines, and bolt gap.
