#22LRMP5

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all bout the rimfire firearm world and its various arms, ammunition, and practices. This week we’re talking about the recently released H&K .22LR MP5 pistol and rifle. Both of the new guns are something that customers have been wishing to see from the German arms manufacturer and now they have it albeit not directly from H&K but under license through Umarex. H&K sent us a pair of guns to test out and review and today I’ll share with you my experiences with both the pistol and rifle variants to give you a solid idea of if you might want to pick up one of these new .22LR MP5 guns since they should now be showing up on gun store shelves and online.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews H&K’s newest MP5 – the MP5 in .22LR. H&K has licensed Umarex of Germany to make a rimfire pistol and rifle version of the famous MP5 SMG. The pistol version will have an 8.5″ barrel and no buttstock, while the rifle version will replicate the looks of the H&K MP5SD A3 with a collapsing stock and a 16.1″ barrel. Considering Heckler & Koch are not truly manufacturing these guns themselves, does the reliability of the .22LR MP5 live up to the namesake? Check today’s video to find out.
