Re: SAS - Black/Blue Kit

Because one picture taken 10 years ago on a range, shows one guy in dpm's with an SD they don't use it with black kit?

Re: SAS - Black/Blue Kit

One of the main reasons the SD series was developed was for "blackops" - so yes.
It is also designed to happily work when "wet" if you get my drift..............

Re: SAS - Black/Blue Kit

2 SD's were present at Operation Nimrod.

Photos even show them.

For Frogman missions ??

Yep.

"Suppressed variants
In 1974 H&K initiated design work on a sound-suppressed variant of the MP5, designated the MP5SD (SD – Schalldämpfer German for "sound dampener"), which features an integral but detachable aluminium sound suppressor and a lightweight bolt. The weapon's 146 mm (5.7 in) barrel has 30 2.5 mm (0.1 in) ports drilled forward of the chamber through which escaping gases are diverted to the surrounding sealed tubular casing that is screwed on to threading on the barrel’s external surface just prior to the ported segment. The suppressor itself is divided into two stages; the initial segment surrounding the ported barrel serves as an expansion chamber for the propellant gases, reducing gas pressure to slow down the acceleration of the projectile. The second, decompression stage occupies the remaining length of the suppressor tube and contains a stamped metal helix separator with several compartments which increase the gas volume and decrease its temperature, deflecting the gases as they exit the muzzle, so muffling the exit report. The bullet leaves the muzzle at subsonic velocity, so it does not generate a sonic shock wave in flight. As a result of reducing the barrel’s length and venting propellant gases into the suppressor, the bullet’s muzzle velocity was lowered anywhere from 16% to 26% (depending on the ammunition used) while maintaining the weapon’s automation and reliability. The weapon was designed to be used with standard supersonic ammunition with the suppressor on at all times.
The MP5SD is produced exclusively by H&K in several versions: the MP5SD1 and MP5SD4 (both have a receiver end cap instead of a buttstock), MP5SD2 and MP5SD5 (equipped with a fixed synthetic buttstock) and the MP5SD3 and MP5SD6 (fitted with a collapsible metal stock). The MP5SD1, MP5SD2 and MP5SD3 use a standard "SEF" trigger group (from the MP5A2 and MP5A3), while the MP5SD4, MP5SD5 and MP5SD6 – a trigger module with a mechanically limited 3-round burst mode and ambidextrous selector controls (from the MP5A4 and MP5A5). A suppressed version was produced for the U.S. Navy - designated the MP5SD-N, which is a version of the MP5SD3 with a retractable metal stock, front sight post with tritium-illuminated dot and a stainless steel suppressor. This model has a modified cocking handle support to account for the slightly larger outside diameter of the suppressor. The design of the suppressor allows the weapon to be fired with water inside, should water enter the device during operation in or near water."

Direct from H&K.

Re: SAS - Black/Blue Kit

MP5SD1 and MP5SD4 Look hard to handle the Recoil being as there is no stock

[cracking day]

Re: SAS - Black/Blue Kit

MP5k has no stock, plus the design of closed bolt means very little recoil on a 5, having shot a K pDW, it gave no more kick than a spunky Airsoft gun really! Bigger bang though!

Re: SAS - Black/Blue Kit

I see.
Ive never even seen a real gun being fired in front of me,
Im like the Realsteal viewing equivalent of a chairsofter lol.
Just seen realsteel vids on youtube (many as it goes,) interests me

Re: SAS - Black/Blue Kit

Real MP5SD is rather quiet too. Not silent, but makes a much quieter plopping sound

Re: SAS - Black/Blue Kit

hehe i remember RS "rogue spear" desribing the SD as "one of the queitest guns in the world feared by all terroists, the only sounds that can be heard is the hammer hitting the firing pin and click of the trigger"

That looks really good.
