Mod:MP5A5

The MP5A5 is a 9mm submachine gun, designed by Heckler & Koch. It is suited to CQC situations, when over penetration needs to be avoided, and where a compact fully-automatic weapon is required. It is the most widely-used Submachine gun in the world.

Overview
The MP5A5 in generally considered the weakest automatic weapon in Dayz, and rightly so, as it's 9x19mm rounds do only 889 damage per hit, and are only accurate out to 100m. However, it has very little recoil, allowing you to put more rounds on target. Because of this, it is recommended to only use the MP5A5 for fighting the infected.

Although the base MP5A5 is already a quiet weapon, when fitted with a 9mm Suppressor, It becomes nearly impossible for anyone not within 10m of the weapon to hear it firing. This makes it the ideal stealth weapon against zombies. The MP5A5 has three firing modes: Semi-automatic, 3-round burst, and Full-automatic.

The ironsights provided on the weapon are rather large and hinder the view of what is to the sides of the target; due to this, the weapon is recommended for close range encounters.

Ammunition
The MP5A5 only accepts 30Rnd MP5 Magazines and their SD variants. In the past, it could accept any 9x19mm magazines, including M9 Magazines and G17 Magazines, but this feature was removed in the 1.8.6.1 patch. However, they can be re-combined[]into MP5 magazines, and vice versa.
