The rear sight is a simple diopter with screw adjustment. The body is formed from a sheet of stamped and welded steel. The weapon never enjoyed widespread production, and the project was halted in 1992, at a cost of 2.5 million dollars. The MP5 soon replaced this weapon's intended usage in the Portuguese police forces.
The iterative procedure involves firing a group of shots from a cool gun barrel, then determining the geometric center of the shot pattern, adjusting the sights to move the point of aim to that group center, and repeating the process until further groups consistently center on the point of aim.
The shooter looks through the sights only after ensuring the position is comfortable and the firearm is resting in the stance with minimal muscle tension. If the sights are not resting on the desired point of impact, the shooter adjusts the position by repeating the same steps until the sights rest on the target.
Civilian AR-15 target sights have an aperture between 1 and 1.15 mm (0.039 and 0.045 in). The aperture on AR-15 military sights have a day aperture of approximately 1.78 mm (0.070 in), and the M16A2 also a night setting with a larger 5.08 mm (0.200 in), and as such the military sight is not strictly a diopter sight in either setting.

MP5 chambered in .22 Long Rifle, introduced around 2021. It comes in two variants: the MP5 .22 LR Rifle, which resembles an MP5SD3 with a 16.1-inch barrel hidden by a faux "integral suppressor" barrel shroud; and the MP5 .22 LR Pistol, which resembles an MP5A1 or MP5A3 with an 8.5-inch barrel.
The barrel has a chrome-lined bore with 6 right-hand grooves and a 178 mm (1:7 in) rifling twist rate that is optimized for use with heavier SS109 5.56×45mm NATO rounds. A barrel with a 305 mm (1:12 in) twist rate designed specifically to stabilize the lightweight M193 cartridge is also available. [2]
