[GunRing] Premium MP5A3 SAS SMG Keychain

 Description: 

A downsized replica of the MP5A3 (Maschinenpistole 5) with collapsable buttstock, manufactured by Heckler & Koch as the 3rd generation MP5 submachine gun. Chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum cartridges, this smg was developed in 1966, there are over 100 variants and clones of the MP5. The MP5 is one of the most widely used submachine guns in the world, having  been adopted by over forty nations and numerous military, law enforcement, intelligence, and security organizations.

In 1999, Heckler & Koch developed the UMP, the MP5's successor. As of 2019, despite its higher cost, the MP5 remained the more successful of the two options, as its roller-delayed system was considered better at "reduc[ing] recoil... making it easier to stay on target" than the UMP's straight blowback system.

In 1980, the MP5 achieved iconic status as a result of British special forces regiment the SAS when they stormed the Iranian Embassy in London, live on television, rescuing hostages and killing five terrorists during Operation Nimrod.

The MP5 has become a mainstay of SWAT units of law enforcement agencies in the United States since then. However, in the late 1990s, as a result of the North Hollywood shootout, police special response teams replaced most MP5s with AR-15-based rifles.

The MP5 is manufactured under license in several nations including Greece (formerly at EBO – Hellenic Arms Industry, currently at ΕΑΣ – Hellenic Defense Systems), Iran (Defense Industries Organization), Mexico (SEDENA), Pakistan (Pakistan Ordnance Factories), Saudi Arabia, Sudan (Military Industry Corporation), Turkey (MKEK), and the United Kingdom (initially at Royal Ordnance, later diverted to Heckler & Koch Great Britain).
