Chinese MP5 style 9mm submachine gun

I know I said I was not going to blog for the next few days but I am very excited to finally see photos of the new Chinese made submachine gun I had heard about.

It looks a lot like what I would expect the child of a Sig 550 rifle and an H&K MP5 submachine gun would look like. I actually think it looks pretty good. Not much is known about this gun. It chambers 9mm less-lethal rubber bullet rounds (effective range of 10-80 meters) and 9mm Parabellum. The intended users are law enforcement.

It features a folding stock, H&K style diopter iron sight and quick detach red dot sight.

Grenade launcher attachment. Probably for less-lethal / crowd control ammunition.
Note MP5 style forward charging handle.

    At least they’re keeping their hands off of real MP5s. Communists using MP5s is nothing short of blasphemy.

    “Communists using MP5s is nothing short of blasphemy.”

    On second thought… no comment.

    To me it looks more like a copy of the H&K UMP.

    They should have copied some designs and internal mechanism from other famous submachine guns… That’s what Chinese always do when they make their firearms.

    Looks like a bunch of cheap chi-com crap to me.
