... I am quite good at this game and have several hundred kills with the MP5k. It still sucks. I am not just basing this off of personal experience, I'm basing it off of stats. At medium and long range it will lose to every other SMG in the game, GUARANTEED, if both players are of equal skill and see each other at the same time. That's a bit of a problem. And if you put a silencer on it then it has basically no advantages over any other SMGs because the range reduction counteracts the higher damage.
