In 1974, H&K initiated design work on a sound-suppressed variant of the MP5, designated the MP5SD (SD—Schalldämpfer German for “sound suppressor”). The MP5SD2 is the second SD series variant, and features a built-in suppressor, a fixed stock, and an air-cooling carbined barrel, allowing for a high rate of fire. The weapon uses 9 x 19mm rounds in a 30-round box magazine.
