In another world, I was a MP5SD gunner.
1. Semiauto or two round burst only except in dire emergencies.
2. By 500 rounds w/o cleaning, you are going to start getting failure to extract and failure to eject frequently.
3. Anytime in the field setting that you can wipe down the bolt carrier and bolt, do so. CLP is your friend. Chamber cleaning and spray out the chamber flutes when ever time and situation permit.
4. non-seize on suppressor threads will make life easier.
5. Eye pro at all times, I used to look like a Finnish racoon at the end of shoot house session.
6. Clean your magazines, the carbon and unburnt powder will quickly build up on the magazine follower.
Bottom line, the SD is like a redhead, It's finicky and a bitch when dirty, but it will rock your world when you take care of it.
