The HK MP5SD is the silenced version of the HK MP5 submachine gun series - SD3 shown above. By Staff Writer
The HK MP5SD series of submachine guns produced by the firm of Heckler & Koch features at least six silenced versions of the highly successful HK MP5 submachine gun. The 'SD' in the designation indicates it's 'silenced' function.
The HK MP5SD features a large attached silencer that reduced the speed of the exiting bullet and channels the gasses from the propellant, resulting in a subsonic ammunition-firing weapon system. Mechanically, however, the SD series is identical to the original HK MP5 series of submachine guns.
The six versions of the SD series cover basic changes in the buttstock construction and style and the addition of the three round burst capability which is normally not standard in the base models of H&K MP5 weapons (only automatic and single shot are).
