Glossary

Forearms

Slimline

The earliest version of the MP5 forearm which can easily be identified by its textured surface and slim profile. This forearm was used on the original production MP5A3, but can be fitted onto any MP5.

Tropical

The second forearm to be produced with the MP5. This is identified by its smooth polymer surface and larger profile. This is the current forearm on most MP5's.

Dedicated Forend

A unique forearm to incorporate a light into the forearm. These are produced by many third-party companies, and can be fitted to any standard length MP5.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

RIS

This is a forearm with integrated rails. These are also manufactured by many third-party companies, and can be fitted to any standard length MP5.

SD Forearm

This is a foregrip with an integrated suppressor used only on the MP5SD variants. There are non-suppressing replicas of these availiable for those who want an SD look without the actual suppressing function.

MP5K Vertical Grip

The vertical grip used only on MP5K's. Due to the shorter barrel of the MP5K, this can only be fitted onto a standard length MP5 with an adaptor.

SP89 Forearm

This forearm comes standard with SP89's. Similar to the MP5K, but without a foregrip and an extended shroud.

Trigger Groups

SEF

Used on the original MP5's, and still comes standard on most. Identified by an S-E-F pattern, indentions around the safety lever, and finger grooves on the grip.

Navy

A trigger group made for the Navy, incorporating an easier switch to actuate, new grip, and a different order of fire modes.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Navy 3 Round Burst

Most notably used on the XM16E1, although also used on a number of contemporary carbines and experimental weapons, the partial fence lower features a horizontal ridge under the ejection port, a captive push pin at the front pivot, and an unfenced magazine release button. The term partial fence is a misnomer as the ridge on the side of the receiver is unrelated to the magazine release button, but is instead a housing for the detent spring which retains the new push pin. The partial fence name has only been applied retroactively in relation to the later full fence lower.

Stocks

Solid Fixed

A solid, fixed, stock that is used on the A2 and A4 variants. This stock is made of polymer.

Extending

An extending stock used on A3 and A5 variants. The extending stock is made of metal with a polymer buttplate.

PDW

The MP5K-PDW introduced a new folding stock. This is made of polymer, and can be fitted on any MP5.

Magazine Releases

Paddle

The original AR-15 flash hider, referred to as the “Duckbill”, was only seen on early prototypes. It was quickly abandoned due to the tendency of the front prongs to break off.

Push-Button

Used on many semi-automatic and other caliber variants instead of a paddle release. If there is no paddle release, it is not a true MP5.

Magazines

Waffle

The very first magazine that came with the MP5. These are identified by the indentions on the front of the magazine

Standard Curved

The standard MP5 9mm magazine.

Straight

The straight magazine is used on the MP5/10 and MP5/40.
