MP5K briefcase guns found in Iraq

Murdoc @ GunPundit found a photo of 3rd Infantry Division troops examining a pile of H&K MP5K briefcase guns presumably in Iraq.

I have always thought this type of gun would appeal to tin pot dictators like Saddam. Why not just conceal the MP5K under a coat and then have the advantage of sights, trigger control, quick magazine change etc.

    Because that isn’t what James Bond would do! LOL Seriously you are right though about under the coat. I guess art does indeed influence life.

    I agree that it does presnt an advantage to change a mag, and have sights. But there is another advantage to just having a full auto inside a suitcase, ready to use, while not wearing clothes that could draw attention to others. Less likly to have someone look at you if your just a businessman with a single suit, or t-shirt and pants, with a suitcase.
