Product Description
Favored by police SWAT and military counter-terrorist teams, the MP5 submachine gun is international in use and unique in the history of military armament. This volume examines the life history of this legendary firearm and is the first comprehensive study of the MP5's development and evolution. A general overview of the history of firearms and propellants is presented, along with a discussion of ballistics and operating principles of semi-auto and fully auto firearms. Exploded illustrations of the MP5 accompany in-depth coverage of the manufacturing process, parts, appropriate nomenclature, model acronyms, and endurance tests. This book also doubles as a guidebook, explaining how to properly shoot, care for, and maintain the gun. Never-before-seen prototype models of the MP5 are featured, along with a complete overview of foreign knock-offs, accessories, and other essential information.

 The MP5 Story November 5, 2000

Project 64 is an all around good book if you're interested in learning just about everything you ever wanted to know about the MP5. However, it does have its downsides. For example, the author, at points, severely over dramatizes, read "[The MP5] vanquishes evil from the dark beyond." This, coupled give with the fact that the author also gives us a physics lesson (he explains how guns work, which later becomes relevant, but still it could've been avoided) kept the book from getting a 5 star rating, but I deducted another point because my taste and his writing style disagree, being a writer myself, I view his style as juvenile, it does a great job of informing, but still, I've seen better from 8th graders (just too many lists of things rhetoric, at best and he keeps referring to himself as "the author" it probably is appropriate, but it bugs the heck out of me). Once again an all-around good book, albeit a few bad points. It is however the best that is available in my opinion, if you want to learn about the Heckler & Kock MP5, read this book.
