The Mp5 is the weapon that most military soldiers carry throughout the game. It holds 50 bullet clips +250 bullets. Ammunition is shared with the 9mm handgun. The Mp5 also has a grenade launcher on it. It can hold up to 10 grenades at any given time. The grenades are not time-detonated. Rather, they detonate when they hit something, and never bounce. The Mp5 does not work underwater.
The Mp5 is the best all-around weapon. It is great for sniping from relatively long distances and it is great for up-close and personal combat. It can be used for breaking up boxes and triggering set tripmines from far away. Pay attention to your ammo, though, as you can run through a 50 bullet clip in a very short amount of time. If you find yourself in a bind and have to reload, launch Mp5 grenades to take care of any nearby attackers while you are reloading (or dodge and hide if you have sufficient cover).
