I had shot an MP-5 once and still my favorite gun. I was fortunate that the instructor in a gun history/safety college class was not only a retired San Jose PD, but had strong connections with the ATF. Also fired that day a Tech-9, a street sweeper (auto shotgun), and an AR-15. I favor the MP-5 over all that day for accuracy and ease. And Of course this class was years ago before college shootings.
