With the help of Keeper of Firearms & Artillery, Jonathan Ferguson, we’ve come to the Royal Armouries museum in the UK to take a deep dive into the MP5, the origin of its popularity, the weapon’s place in video games and, of course, answer the question: just why do people slap it?
Notes: In this episode of Loadout, Dave Jewitt visits the Royal Armouries to talk to Keeper of Firearms & Artillery Jonathan Ferguson to chat about the most iconic submachine guns of all time: the MP5.
