.... I had the opportunity to Test Fire the H&K MP5A3, 9mm, Full Auto Rifle using Two 20-Round Magazines.
Note - As of original service date (1966), there are over 100 variations of this assault rifle, called a machine pistol in Germany. The Firearm actually is considered a handheld machine gun (fully automatic weapon), and in the USA requires a civilian (private owner) to have a Tax Stamp and BATF approval.
Latest version of the 9mm H&K MP5 (from Heckler and Koch Website) ....

Answer/Results:
I elected to Test Fire this weapon myself and post it here.
Personally I have always wanted to own one, but the price is way out of my affordable range.
I got to Test Fire 40-rounds of 9mm FMJ in Full Auto Mode using two 20-Round Magazines.
I thought I would share my experience and opinions of this fine German made weapon.
I have included some background, Youtube Videos, and my Target I shot at the Indoor Gun Range.
Here is the MP5A3 Model I Test Fired ....
My own personal target firing 40 rounds of 9mm FMJ ammo.
The first 20-round magazine was on full auto at 35-Feet.
The second 20-round magazine was on full auto at 50-Feet.
Background:
The military versions and full auto version for civilian ownership are all 9mm caliber. The full auto version sells for between $19,000.00 and $27,500.00, if you can find one.
In 1983 H&K made a semi auto version called the HK94, currently they sell for around $4,000.00
H&K now produces a 22 Caliber called GSG5 in semi-auto.
This firearm is often shown in a lot of Hollywood movies.
It has been used by many special ops and special forces around the world including the Navy Seals.
