In the United States, PTR Industries, [65] Zenith Firearms, [66] Dakota Tactical, [67] [68] and Century International Arms [69] manufacture semi-automatic clones of the MP5 that are legally classified as pistols. In 2007, Professional Arms demonstrated the MK5, an MP5 clone that could be rechambered between 9×19mm, .45 ACP, and .40 S&W. [70]

A Mini Uzi and a Heckler & Koch MP5K, two common submachine guns. A submachine gun (SMG) is a magazine-fed automatic carbine designed to fire handgun cartridges.The term "submachine gun" was coined by John T. Thompson, the inventor of the Thompson submachine gun, [1] to describe its design concept as an automatic firearm with notably less firepower than a machine gun (hence the prefix "sub-").
The Lusa marries some concepts from the HK MP5 and Uzi submachine gun without being too similar to either. The complete trigger housing is nearly identical to that of the MP5, however the other internals are greatly simplified. The bolt and carrier are one welded unit, and the action is a simple blowback, unlike the roller-delay system of the MP5.
The Colt 9mm SMG is a closed bolt, blowback operated SMG, rather than the conventional direct impingement gas operation of the standard 5.56×45mm M16 type rifle. [6] As a closed bolt weapon, the Colt SMG is inherently more accurate than open bolt weapons such as the Israeli UZI. [7] The overall aesthetics are identical to most M16 type rifles.

It weighs 2.2 kilograms (4.9 lb) unloaded and is 545.5 millimetres (21.48 in) overall with ...
The UMP was designed in the 1990s by Heckler & Koch (HK), as a cheaper, lighter alternative to the MP5, [5] which made heavy use of polymers. [6] The UMP first entered production in 2000. [ 2 ] It was designed primarily for use by American military and law enforcement units, [ 7 ] as the MP5 was not available in .45 ACP, a round which was ...
