The MP5, developed by Heckler & Koch in the 1960s, is a 9mm submachine gun that became the gold standard for counter-terror units, police teams and special forces worldwide. Its closed-bolt design gives it exceptional accuracy for an SMG, while its soft recoil and compact size make it incredibly easy to control in fast, close-quarters shooting. Adopted by elite units like the SAS and SEAL Team Six, the MP5 starred in countless hostage-rescue and counter-terror missions from the 1970s through the 2000s. Lightweight, reliable and instantly recognisable, it remains one of the most iconic firearms ever built — familiar to gamers, film fans and military enthusiasts everywhere. Trying the MP5 at Churchill Shooting Budapest is an energetic, movie-like experience and one of the most exciting daytime activities in Budapest. If you want that classic action-movie feeling with smooth, fast shooting, the MP5 is a must-try on our range.
