This volume examines the life history of the MP5 submachine gun and provides a comprehensive study of the MP5's development.

Exploded illustrations of the MP5 accompany in-depth coverage of the manufacturing process, parts, appropriate nomenclature, model acronyms and endurance tests. The text also doubles as a guidebook, explaining how to properly shoot, care for and maintain the gun.

The MP5 Story,
By Matt Hutcheson (Southlake, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heckler & Koch's Mp5 Submachine Gun (Paperback)
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.
