When Colonel Jack O'Neill led the first military expedition through the Stargate, Heckler & Koch weapons went with him. After defeating Ra's forces and freeing the people of Abydos it's no wonder that when SG-1 was activated to return, H&K was once again the weapon of choice.
From that point on, SG-1 carried the MP5A5 as the basic offworld assault rifle for the first four seasons of Stargate SG-1. Although SG-1 later switched to the P90, other teams continued to use the MP5 in the same configuration. The real-world proven reliability of the weapon no doubt led to the SGC armory being stocked with this 9mm masterpiece.
The SGC tailored the basic MP5A5 to offworld use by adding several powerful accessories that give SG teams a weapon they can rely on in any almost situation.
So you want to make an offworld MP5 huh? Well you're in the right place. With the sg1props.com MP5 tutorials you'll find all the information you need to take a plain MP5A5 and turn it into a weapon that would make even Teal'C smile.
Although meant for the AR series of rifles, the SGC has adopted a basic Colt AR15 carry handle scope to fit a modified H&K claw mount. This provides the SG operative with 4x20 magnification and fast target acquisition.
The lighted foregrip is an easy after market switch to make on the MP5 series. This accessory puts a powerful stream of light on the target with a simple press of the thumb on the pressure switch. This makes it a snap to light the way while not compromising your shooting ability.
After getting hit, the worst thing to happen to you in a fire fight is to run out of ammunition. By using a double mag clamp, SG team members put 30 additional rounds right at their hands. After expending 60 rounds they hope to have a moment to pull fresh mags out from a mag pouch!
Slings just make sense, and for optimum performance the SGC utilizes three-point slings to provide soldiers with both comfort and usability. So whether carrying the MP5 at your side, or at high-ready, it'll be where you expect it to be every time.
