I was wondering what y'all thought about using for CQB work.

8.2" 300BLK SBR vs MP5K-N

The stock on the MP5 folds so it becomes pistol like.



Assume the price of the two are the same.

If it's a real MP5K I'd be interested. If it's just a semi-auto I'd rather have the carbine.

This.

I love my MP5 SBR, but I'll take my AR SBR every single day.

In fact, was out shooting with a buddy and fellow arfcommer recently.  I had my MP5, he had his SBR .300blk.  His 8.2" barreled .300blk SBR was shorter than my 9mm MP5 SBR with A2 stock.

And just as quiet with subsonics.

There's a reason a .300blk upper is next for my SBR.

Yes rifle round better and less over penetration than pistol.  I'm pretty sure 30 rounds of 9 or 300 won't make much of a difference in CQB though.

I was curious about CQB tactics/maneuverability and such.

Thanks for the info on the 300SBR being shorter when the stock is out on the MP5 though.

The A2 stock I mentioned is fixed - and really the only worthwhile MP5 stock around IMO.

Everyone buys an A3 stock because they look cool (and they do!) but they don't work particularly well, they make the gun heavier, and shooting with the A2 stock is much smoother.

As soon as I saw the title to this thread I knew the OP had to be a relatively recent join.



An MP-5 is always "pistol-like" because it fires a pistol cartridge. The stock folds so you can hide the weapon to avoid scorn and mockery.

My point is I laugh when your average Joe comes on this board using military terminolgy when their talking about defending their homes.
Heck I laugh everytime I hear police swat teams use these terms or call themselves operators.
Oh and just to hush any of those that would say well maybe he is or was in the military to which I say BS cause if he was he would not have to ask.

Having an MP5K navy(sear gun) I would not hesitate in using it to clear rooms, with or without the suppressor.
Matter of fact just got 2K of Federal 147 grain HST JHP for it.

I'm guessing that 9mm ammo is cheaper than the .300... At least I'll get to practice.

that B&T side folder looks like the "best of both worlds". folds compact, locks open solid with a real cheek-weld.

doesn't look quite as sweet as the A3, but nothing does.

Because without a doubt it will be cheaper than buying a complete 922(r) compliant MP5K clone, and cheaper even than building one.

Pretty much the only reason.

OP, if you're picking between a 9mm AR and an MP5K, the MP5K accomplishes the same goals better (but more expensively).  If you're picking between 9mm and .300blk, well I guess then the choice is obvious.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume it will be a whole lot cheaper.  I'd love for them to cost the same as the M&P rifles used to, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'd like to get one because, with a locking both, it should be damn quiet when suppressed.

Also to add, yes an MP5-type gun is far better than the 9mm AR in several ways.

Oh for fucks sake.  Are you really going to throw a tantrum because a civ is using terms, phases, or acronyms that .mil normally use?  Do you also have a complaint with us owning anything that has camo on it?  What about us owning guns, is that a problem for you too?  



Your post is among the top 5 on my "Dumbest shit I ever read on ARFCOM" list.  It almost didn't make top 5, but the non-mil callout gave it the push it needed.

Assume one is being made using very sparse parts kits and a couple of skilled builders who can do the work  and the other is the most proliferated rifle in this country with hundreds of manufacturers.

Which one will you be able to pick up a year from now? Which one will rise in value as time goes on?
