A fact from Heckler & Koch MP5 appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 May 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that until the 1990s, the Heckler & Koch MP5 and the Uzi were the only weapons designed outside of the United States that were as widespread in Hollywood productions as the U.S.-produced Colt M1911 pistols, M16 assault rifles, Tommy Guns and revolvers?

In popular Culture

I removed the Sentence " It also had its first film "The Millions Games" released on October 18, 1970." from the history section as it is unclear wether this is truely the first appearence in a film and does not firt in the flow of this pararagraph. However, I think it could be mentioned in as section about the use in popular culture.--Saehrimnir (talk) 09:06, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Users - Poland

Poland is ommitted in the users section - both in the table and the map. The fact is, MP5 is widely used by Polish Police, Special Forces and many other Government institutions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.17.192.185 (talk) 07:16, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I highly doubt that this gun has an effective range of 200meters

I dont think a gun shooting regular non overpressure 9x19mm rounds can has an effective range of 200meters, is there any source? FSbiran (talk) 09:04, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

https://www.polizeipraxis.de/ausgaben/2017/detailansicht-2017/artikel/mp7-fuer-den-polizeilichen-anti-terror-einsatz.html

"machen vor allem die Treffleistung und effektive Reichweitenerhöhung bis 200m die MP7 für polizeiliche Anti-Terror-Lagen zum gefragten Einsatzmittel"

(translated with google)"Above all, the hitting power and effective range increase of up to 200m make the MP7 a sought-after center of operations for police anti-terrorist situations"

This article explains the MP5 replacement by the MP7 with an increased effective range of up to 200 meters which suggests that the MP5 does not have an effective range of 200 meters. FSbiran (talk) 09:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New Former users subsection

I think there should be a subsection of former users where many of the current "users " should be moved.For example :Zahir Qadirs frontier force, Salvadoran National Guard Smahwk (talk) 10:30, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
