Mp5 in 2022?

[Awill288]

I have been considering picking up a Zenith ZF-5 ever since they came out with their new all American made clone. The only thing is that I already have a DD MK18 that I use as my all arounder. Is there any practical use for an Mp5 other than a cool range toy nowadays?

I read an article awhile back that mentioned using 124g +p out of the 8 inch barrel would send the 9mm out at .357 mag speeds.

Thoughts?

I have no personal experience or knowledge

That said, it's an American made MP5 clone, looks awesome/totally cool, so you should definitely get it!

I really love mine, especially suppressed. It is the smoothest PCC out there and although it may not fill a “role” for you, it is a blast to shoot.

No practical use at all. MP5 is awfully cool to shoot though. I would get one.

Many special ops teams use them, despite access to pretty much anything they want. Hard to say there is no practical use at all.

LOL, we have them too. I meant for most people the best reason is they are just fun to shoot.

Oh, gotcha. Absolutely the truth. It’s my next build!

Suppressed, they make a great home defense weapon. I have an AR version just for that purpose.
