Mp5a4

The MP5A4 is a craftable, military-grade 30-round submachine gun. Dealing moderate to low damage with low recoil which makes it extremely effective at close range. However, the MP5A4 has one of the widest spreads in the game, limiting its use to short range. Although, like the LR300, this can be countered with a lasersight, making it viable for medium-range combat. The MP5 is currently the only craftable military-grade weapon.
