HK MP5K Briefcase Gun

Hickok 45 here with an HK briefcase gun. Yeah, it's what it looks like, doesn't it? Why don't we get it ready to fire, close it up, see if it works. There we go. Let's put it on fun switch and believe it or not the safety is on and I'll explain that. We'll close it up because you have a safety right here. So let's just go to the office today. How's that? Well, if you want to shoot it, you need to sort of pick it up, put your ears in. Well, you shouldn't have to worry about your ears if you're using this. Pretty quick blast, huh? That's an unusual briefcase. Let's show it to you and explain to you how it works and some different things about it. You've seen a shorter two maybe where we had some fun with it, but this is the explanation point. Now I'm being careful here. Open it up and look at that. Wow. Is that cool or what? Take that empty mag out. Let's make sure it is totally empty. Lock that back and I can feel the chamber. There's nothing in it. I'm going to dump it out. What if I dump the gun out? I don't think that's going to happen. Look how secure that thing is. And it would have to be secure, wouldn't it? Yeah, it really would. Seems like every time Silencer Central comes by, they come to Tennessee, we end up with something pretty interesting to show you and today is no different. Yeah, so we appreciate their support as well as everybody that helps us. That ammo came from Federal Premium, great outfit. Bud's Gun Shop, great support of their channel and sdi.edu, the Sonoran Desert Institute. We love them all. They're great. We appreciate their assistance. And this, I mean, it's not suppressed, it's just owned by Silencer Central, of course. They have some pretty cool toys, as you can tell. So there it is on full auto. You saw from the short we posted, probably seven bullets. Several of you had clever comments about the seven bullets. Should have just fired seven, right? Like that one, fired three. And there's safe there. Well, the reason I say it was on safe, even when it was up here. See, this is a safety, okay? Some folks made some comments about, of course, well, good thing you turned the right way and you might turn the wrong way and shoot yourself or whatever. Shoot sideways. I mean, it's a briefcase. You know, when you look at a briefcase, yeah, this looks like a regular briefcase, kind of. Well, you can see how it's put together here and the way that trigger works. That would be difficult to do. You have to use your thumb and hold that safety back. You can't, you don't just slide it and leave it. You've got to hold it as you're firing. You see how this works, the mechanism, the linkage just pulls the trigger for you. See, a pocket. It's empty. Works very well. It is a quality piece. HK had this made by a company in Germany, which I can't pronounce, but it was made for this gun and made well. It locks in very tightly. This is the same, I think it's a Stainag, ring a bell, clamp system, claw system that they use on the, it's modified, but it's very similar to one that holds the optics on the G3 or the MP5, you know, so it's very secure. That thing isn't going anywhere. I mean, you can walk around with it and try to dump it out. You can't do it. And obviously that would have to be the case, no pun intended. So this isn't your grandpa's briefcase. You just put some duct tape on and tape a gun in there. You know, it's, in fact, it's tricky to get it out and in to some extent. Okay. So let's load it. Shoot again. You want to? All right. So we're locked in and fine. And also you see the, where the, the barrel, you know, there's a hole around there of all things. You know, so it's pretty clear, you know, how it works when, when we get the gun out and everything, I'll move it around and show you some more about that. And here it goes. We'll put it on. So I just feel better putting it on safe, you know, even though you cannot close the case up. I mean, you got to have it in the condition you want it in. That's the thing about this. And, and again, so for those who don't know, this is not just a range toy that you might go by, you know, to play with it to range. Maybe you could like we're doing, but carefully, but it's, it's a VIP protection kind of thing. I mean, this is a serious stuff. You probably seen, maybe this used in a movie or one like it. It was the MP5 came out one 60, 64, something like that. Then the MP5K, which is what this is, came out later in the 70, 76, I think. And then they had this case made for it. It's for clandestine operations, VIP protection, primarily, I think. And of course, anything someone might need it for, they think, but for protection services where you're not walking around with an assault rifle strapped over your shoulder, you're just walking along with the asset you're protecting. And you happen to have a briefcase, maybe nobody will notice your briefcase is different. It has a trigger. Okay. So you have a briefcase now, you know, some danger, I guess, you know, obviously, if you need arm protection like that, there's probably potential danger anyway. So, you know, like I say, it's on safe as long as you're not depressing that button, push it, pulling it backwards. So the gun is not on safe, or it won't work. But the briefcase that operates the trigger is on safe. So there you go. And you got to set the firearm on three round burst, full auto, semi auto, whatever you're going to have it on, okay, before you close it up. So if you see somebody, you know, in a suit walking along, maybe a suspicious looking crew, and they've got these 80s Samsonite looking briefcases, you should get a clue, right? I don't think you're gonna see as many briefcases that look exactly like this right now. Okay, so let me Oh, yeah. Now, since the barrel is over there, whenever I open it, I'll notice I tried it like that. I don't just put my hand over there. I know it's not going to shoot but fire, but I just don't want to put my hand in front of the trigger. Alright, so let's show you again how this thing works. I tell you what, it's not it's not the easiest thing to hit something with. But then again, it's not impossible. Why don't we just put it on semi auto. And I'll show you. There's the one bullet, right? One bullet setting that semi auto, you got to do that before you close it up. All right, logging again, I'm just being careful when I push that close because the barrel is right there. You could mark that I guess with a piece of chalk in you. It's like right, right, right there. But then that might look a little odd too. You could put a little scratch in your briefcase right there. So you know where the barrel is a site site right there. Okay, so I'm on semi auto. So it's ready to fire. I just have to depress the safety and pull the trigger. And again, I guess we haven't talked about the you don't really want to shoot it like this. It's highly advised against because the recoil now semi auto, I guess you might fire a shot and it's not going to go crazy. But if you've got a full auto or three round burst, think about it, the physics are going to push the gun, the case back, and you're gonna end up shooting the ground or your foot, you know, so you're supposed to bring it up like this, put it against your body. Hey, not bad. Hit a two liter. See if we can hit the stop sign. So you have some control over it. You know, it's not the most accurate thing. See if I can smoke a little pot with it. I'll see if I'll just estimate here. Okay, about right there. There we go. How about this target? So, you know, not too bad. Now, another question you might have is, wow, is it going to malfunction when you get that case full of brass, you know, more and more brass in it? Well, think about that. Is that really going to happen? Think deeply now, my relatives in Kentucky, how is this case going to fill up with brass? Because when you get through that magazine, that's what you have to do. You have to open it up. Isn't that a beautiful sight? And you have to change the mag out. And then why not just dump it out? The fight must be over. All right, now I'm going to pull the bolt back. Yep, I guess almost anybody could do that. Of course, I'm a genius, so I can do it. No, I have longer fingers. See the dirt from the chamber? So I can feel there's no round in that chamber. All right, it is not locked as it would be. It is an MP5, but you want to check, okay, especially, you know, for what we're doing, right? Now, if people are shooting at you and all that, you just load and keep going. But that brings up another point. If you had to use this, you're protecting the king or the president or whatever, you would probably shoot out what you've got here and drop it and go to your handgun or something else, you know, most likely, unless you've got cover and you can open this thing up and get it out and do whatever you're going to do with it, right? Okay, so there were some things I wanted to point out. It's very, very well built. Your safety is right there. It's a very solid thing. The trigger is very positive. It works very well. There's no, you know, if I try to make this in my garage, you know, I pull the trigger and sometimes it would exert enough pressure, sometimes it wouldn't. So it's very well designed, engineered, and it just works from the claw clamp to the trigger to just everything. It's an interesting piece, like kind of of history, you know, firearms history and all that sort of thing. These are made, like I said, a company in Germany. You can see it there kind of upside down. I get such to pronounce that for us, but they make these and it's aluminum with overmolded, you know, plastic and I understand that's what that company is known for making things like that. So, okay, one thing we wanted to show you too is it is in there so well, you can shoot it with it open, you know, like there's no, I don't know, it may add to the rigidity a little bit, but there's no reason why it won't fire and stay in place shooting it with the thing open. Now I'm going to get it in a better position, but let's do that. I'll show you. Okay, still have to operate the same way. So we got it loaded. Is it locked in there nice and tight? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. In the chamber, an HK or a, yeah, well, HK, an MP5 fires from a closed bolt, even though it's a full auto, it fires from a closed bolt. So let's go ahead and put it on fun switch. All right. So like I say, no, this is not on safe, the trigger mechanism, the thing that's going to fire it is on safe right now. So let's move down here and just take some shots like this. Now, normally you wouldn't shoot it like this. This is just demonstrated demonstration purposes. Don't try this at home. Okay. So I'll put it against my body here a little bit, just stabilize it. And so you see like, like even this is kind of awkward. So that'll play into what I want to go over a little bit. Okay. So we're last in there. Fine. Of course. And we're ready to go. Let's just shoot that barrel a little bit. I forgot to put my ears in and I was the first one to know. So there we go. Let's try it again. It doesn't take long, does it? Yeah. Pretty interesting. So that is a very stable case. Uh, lest anybody think, wow, like in the short we did or whatever. Wow. You got a machine gun, a sub gun in that case bouncing around and that looks dangerous. Well, guns are dangerous now. They can be very dangerous. Can't they? People can be very dangerous. My Yukon is very dangerous. Okay. Chamber's clear. So the gun is safe. All right. So there you sort of see that I'll maybe take it out. Uh, it, uh, it's an interesting thing. It's locked in there really nicely. I just checked the chamber's empty. The bolt is back. So in terms of fooling with it, I don't know if there's anything else you want to see about while it's in there. It's just very tight. This is for a cleaning kit, these clamps down here. And then in the lid is for a magazine. You put an extra magazine in there. All right. So let me see. Now, it seems like it does better if that's down and you pull this, unhook that one. And I'll tell you, it's really easy to do. You got to hold your mouth right. And then I think push down and pull it back a little bit. Like I say, not only is it tight, it's hard to get out. A little back. See, it catches right there. And there you go. Presto. There's your MP5K out of there. And you can get a better look at the linkage there. Now that there's no gun in there, I can stand over here in front of the barrel. See how that works. Pretty, pretty cool. You got this little shroud, of course, that fits into, uh, so it's all lined up properly. And, uh, you know, nice and sturdy. And you can see why, uh, let me, let me close it and turn it around. Like, oh, what if you turn it the wrong way? Shoot yourself. Well, uh, if you've ever fooled with it at all, you're expecting the trigger to be this hand. Wait a minute, that's not right. And then, you know, I've got a, oh, I don't know. That left hand would be a problem. And then even if it was over here, same deal, you know, well, where's the trigger? Oh, now it's a little finger trigger. Something might be wrong. Oh, also there's a hole pointing at me. So it's one of those deals where I think I answered somebody that said you'd have to be kind of a moron, uh, to do that. You really, you're a candidate for the Darwin award if you, if you had that problem, right. As you see how it works. So, you know, it's, it's just the way it worked, you know, and you're, you're, if you have a problem doing that, you're just as likely to turn this the wrong way, you know, or your block or whatever is kind of the way I look at it. But, but how I look at it might be wrong, right. Uh, even though I'm a genius. So anyway, that's the case. And, uh, I, I read that, uh, the seventh infantry, as they were during the 2003 invasion in Iraq, they ran across a bunch of these things, uh, over there that had been ordered by the regime, uh, Saddam Hussein and the regime and, and around the world. I think it came about from a request from some VIP in South America. I read, you know, that, uh, HK decided to make it. I think they still make them. The first ones were more of a, a satchel affair, like the old style briefcase. I used to have one of those back early seventies where they kind of like an accordion kind of thing, but a handle like this. And, and there was a cutout in the back of it, kind of like some of the new purses for carry, uh, or there are these days you reach in between like my purse. And so you reached into it and got ahold of the gun and shot, and then you could, uh, release the, the clips and the whole bottom of it would fall away. And then you can actually go to town. Anyway, this kind of replaced that. So I don't know, there's probably something newer now that looks a little more modern. I don't know. Uh, it doesn't scream 1980. I don't know, but I was, uh, in a mall the other day. I saw a Samsonite store and I thought, yeah, man, there it is. There's that stuff. I should take this in and see if I can get it worked on and replaced at the Samsonite store. So yeah, pretty handy. Now I can mess with a little bit more, you know, since it's, uh, again, you just put your thumb on that safety and it triggers very positive. I mean, it's not like a, uh, two and a half pound 1911 trigger or anything, but it's not hard to depress. And the safety is very positive. It feels very good. And, uh, it's pretty clear where the hole is works. Well made. Okay. I'll leave that open, but I'll lay it over here. And I wanted to show you the MP5, uh, uh, K, uh, also without the case, uh, little gun, like I say, these, these came about in about the 76, I think. And there's a lot of different versions of this, the what P W D or something with a folding stock. And, and it, those do not work in that case. If it's got a folding stock or anything at all, as you could see it, this barely fits just barely. And you can't really suppress this one in, in the case or anything like that. And they may have something updated where that would work, but not with the MP5 case, just barely fits in there. It's designed for, you can see where it latches. And, uh, this, that's what you, if you want a case like this with a firearm, I you're kind of limited, I think, to this firearm, at least for that model. Okay. So these are pretty cool. I normally don't like, uh, uh, I don't know the pistol version of a carbine or a rifle. Uh, there's really awkward to shoot, but, uh, I was telling somebody, John or somebody that, you know, this little thing actually possibly because of the vertical grip, it's not that hard to shoot. Now you may not hit everything you want to hit with it, but it's pretty nifty little firearm, very controllable. And, uh, and one thing too, you may not be aware of with the, uh, uh, Brandon, the owner of silencer central, uh, owns this and the, uh, the trigger pack is what is, and we're definitely unloaded. The trigger pack is what is registered. Okay. And that is one advantage of the H and K and which we take apart and never get back together. Uh, if you have the trigger pack, you can put this on a different one. I, as I understand, even if you bought a semi-automatic version of the M and MP5, uh, you could put this, I mean, yeah, if you have this, uh, you own it properly, you know, it's registered, you know, and you could put it on your semi-automatic MP5 and you could shoot it and anything it'll work on. So if you're interested in class three firearms, this is kind of appealing to me in a way, uh, you know, you could, that's what you bought. That's what you paid the big bucks for whatever 30, 40,000, 50,000, whatever it costs is for this. And, uh, and then you can move it around, which is something that doesn't work as well. You know, we thought we're under understanding. You could do that with like my AK and different things and find out a little bit differently that you just, because the Sears registered use little iffy there, some things. And, uh, but with the HK, when the trigger pack, they're pretty flexible and pretty nice. So that's how that works. Okay. So if you had one of these in a semi-automatic version and you bought one of these properly, it's paperwork. You can pop it on there. Yeah. It's pretty, pretty cool, huh? And get her back together. Depends that H and K makes good stuff. Don't they? They're not everybody's cup of tea. I mean, but, uh, as far as design, maybe you may not like the particular design of some of their stuff, but they do a good job. And I get that in there properly or something. I've had this apart several times and, uh, when the camera's rolling, though, that's when you have the trouble. I know what it seems like it helps if the trigger pack is on safe. It might be in my imagination. Yeah. It makes sense. It ought to be on safe. I should put it on safe, right? Hammer back. Yeah. Y'all wouldn't know what to think if I didn't fumble with something disassembling right in the video. I specialize in that. Well, we do have a lot of different firearms and try to take them apart. Field strip on some are easier than others. Okay. There you go. So pretty cool. It's all in the trigger pack right there. All right. So yeah, uh, uh, late seventies on this and, uh, the different versions of it, uh, variations with folding stocks and all that. Some of you know more about the various, uh, versions of it than I do, but this one is pretty cool. I have to say it fits in that case. I also need to have the bolt back. Seems like get those mags in very easily. All right. So is there anything we haven't shot that you want me to shoot? I don't mean to take all day like I'm doing, but I just wanted to show you this. Uh, I've, I've seen a short videos on these things. I just wanted to kind of give you a little more time with it and, and show you whatever I know about it, which is not a lot, right? So you have a little flexibility. We have single shot or we have triple shot. How about that barrel? So you get three at a time, right? That's what the three means. Okay. So we have all choices. I have another magazine and you know what that's going to do. Don't you more than seven. If I want it to more than seven, oops, drop the mag. We're locked back. Okay. Oh, you think we haven't shot? I'm not going to worry too much about some of those two leaders. I don't want to, this is not a farm that you aim, right? Uh, it's just not. Although let me take a couple of shots. Semi-auto maybe it is. Let's try the golf. Okay. So I take that back. You could actually hit something with it. You know what? I don't like a cowboy. I don't like his looks. So I got a couple on him. All right. So, uh, MP5 K by the way, K stands for curse K U R Z, which means short. Just like you have a nine millimeter curse, which is what three 80, uh, shorter. And, uh, I don't know why they call this short. You know, I guess because it's shorter than the standard MP5, right. And a nine millimeter, uh, which most of you know, right. Uh, MP5 pretty cool, a little firearm and combined with that, uh, briefcase, it's not a suitcase. Now you get cram your suits in there. If you're pretty small, I couldn't, but it's a briefcase or briefs. And, uh, you know, that, and this make pretty nice little combination, don't they? Life is good. Oh yeah, that's better. This is a great gun for defense. Oh, Hey, didn't see you guys there.
