Its called a Protoge 5, an MP5 is a sub machine gun.
The Heckler & Koch MP-5 family of submachine guns is one of the most widely used weapons for assault and counter-terrorist takedowns. It is a delayed blowback weapon that fires from a closed bolt, making it a very accurate and reliable piece. In addition, there are many different varieties making it a very versatile weapon. For these reasons there are very few elite units that lack the venerable MP-5. The MP-5 was first used by GSG-9 in action against terrorists who had hijacked a lufthansa aircraft on October 17, 1977 and flown it to Mogadishu, Somalia. It was also prominantly displayed in pictures of the SAS takedown of the terrorist-held Iranian Embassy in 1980. The MP-5 has seen action in US operations such as the grenada and Panama invasion, and has only recently seen it's eventual succesor, the M4 (CAR-15 model 727) come online.
