H&K MP5 🇩🇪 modernization from 1966 to TODAY [Historical Timeline]

👉Correction

The ITD was initially established in the 80’s but came to its height in the 90’s.

The division had seen leadership under
Clint Smith, Phil Singleton, and finally John Meyer in the early 90s.

Thanks again to James Williamson @teufeulshundtactical for the correction!

A couple of things I've gathered from my research for a game I've been developing for some time; specifically on the MP5-N (KAC) and Laser Products.

Circa 1986, HK fulfilled the request for the Navy SEAL's upgrade requirements; Ambi selector and threaded barrel. Note that in the '80s there were no suppressors designed for the 3-lug as of yet. This suffices the threaded barrel in conjunction of KAC, which I'm sure was co-developed on behalf of HK. This also was likely co-developed with the HK P9S (context of the rarity of mainstream suppressed (.45acp/9mm) service pistols (not to be confused w/ integral .22lr pistols)

For Laser Products, brings us a year earlier. In 1985, they've released under barrel weapon light products for the 1911, 92FS, 870, and of course the MP5. They would also later develop weapon lights for the p226 and Benelli M1 (LAPD request) by the late '80s.

LAPD Metro SWAT (D-Platoon) was one of the earliest adopters. D-Platoon has been trained alongside Delta, HRT, SAS, GSG9, and GIGN, especially in preparation for the 1984 Olympics. Scotty Reitz (Uncle Scotty), writer of SWAT magazine and ex-LAPD SWAT, had put a special emphasis on 'clean mechanics'. Nutshell; natural 2nd nature usage of manual of arms, gear, and shooting techniques. This is later developed in mind of the LAPD's famous iconic 3a HRM Tactical Vest. Note the snap/Velcro modularity. Prior to this, SWAT had to sewn in pouches in Vietnam era pilot survival vest for their MP5s.

In regards to the suppressor and weapon combo, there is a problem. Physically the light is in the way of the suppressor, so Laser Products to develop an attachment for the weapon to be redirected to a lower position of needed.

What's interesting on laser Products weapon lights seen in late the '80s and early 90s films. Cliff Hanger, Arizona Heat (870), Feds, Last of the Finest, Predator 2, and American Yakuza 2.

Anybody know the song for the Thicc Sicario Model segment?

Damn I have every modernized variant. And I swear it's the 2 round trigger packs that do it for me.

Minor correction. The police officers at 20:39 are Norwegian and not Swedish.

Henry, Henry, Henry. You forgot about one of the most iconic movies the mp5 was in . Carl weathers dual wielding mp5a3's in predator.

Awesome video bossman

This has taken out any want to ditch my MP5 clone and just reconfigure it. Also, what USP is Henry running and which Safariland holster is that?

Henry: The MP5 is an extremely modular platform

Hello
Can someone identify the vest his wearing? It looks like an modified lbv. Is it costum made or has anyone seen similar?

Sounds of Jonathan Ferguson Heavy Breathing

Approved 😀

I fall in love more, with every glance, with the MP5K 🌲🇺🇸🇩🇪🌲

Speaking of the support stuff, I've been kinda weirded out by creators calling one of the platforms "Utreon" even now, when they themselves have changed the name to (the much inferior) Playeur…

What's the song title at 16:00 ??
