7:14 HK were never particularly secretive about this gun. Back in the day one kid in my class at school in Germany had the very same briefcase and he was very proud of having the one briefcase HK chose to package their gun in.
'to protect an asset' Here I was thinking it would make a perfect assassination weapon. And now I am thinking assassins and body guards both going on a shootout with bunch of suit cases.
That brings to mind the image of a street gang war with about 30 dudes up and down the block (and hanging out of windows), all holding briefcases horizontally across their middles as they spray each other and everything else within half a mile. But what does that big fat guy have in that 4-wheel suitcase he is holding horizontally and pointing down the street?
Still not sure it would be any faster to deploy than grabbing an MP5k out a briefcase that flicks open. Cool as hell though! Just one thing: Has it made bolt action brief cases obsolete?
any disguised concealed gun is obsolete after about 400.000 people have seen the disguise. Damn I really hope H&K sells different options. these are the ugliest briefcases and most odd looking ones you'll ever see. How does it pass a security check with rontgen or metal detection gate?
@@seanjoseph8637 That has as little to with it as saying that Hiram Maxim was funded by the americans to go to Europe.

I saw a firearm similar to this in the late 80's that was in use with the British Royal Military Police for close protection. There was a quick release button on the handle that made the body of the briefcase fall away leaving the carry handle attached to an MP5K with a foregrip and had two 30 round mags clipped together for a quick change. The briefcase itself was smaller than a traditional office briefcase but could perhaps pass for a carry case for camera equipment or these days, something like a drone.
I saw one of these (or something just like it) in Haiti. I was on guard duty at the front gate of I believe Camp Kinser. There was a PX there and a lot of American nationals would come to the base. One of the secret squirrels came through one day (we thought he may have been on of the Secret Service agents guarding the Haitian president at the time.) He got lividly angry when we made him unload it and show clear. My corporal actually was preparing to draw down on him because he was acting like he was going to try and force his way on base. It turns out he had been coming through the gate with the things for months and we had just never checked his briefcase.
PX means post exchange, it's basically just a Wal-Mart style store on military bases. Secret squirrel is what we called the guys who weren't entirely clear why they were there. They're usually intelligence types (CIA, FBI, NCIS, etc.) or non-uniformed security personnel like Secret Service.
Yeah this thing looks super dangerous, frankly it’s irresponsible of HK to make it. Where would a security detail need something like this that isn’t a crowded area? Where else does the Venn diagram of places where security forces being visibly armed being too conspicuous overlap with places someone who needs a security detail would go? Somehow the secret service has managed with SMGs _not_ in briefcases.
I wonder if you're supposed to use it on a very, very short distance, like almost pushing the briefcase up to the intruder. Imagine a conference situations, someone is storming on the podium or you walk through a crowd and someone is running towards your asset. You push the briefcase against them and fire.
Crown royal yeah fine, apart from being an automatic weapon with no real way to aim it for use in crowded areas, does that really not set off any red flags for you? What, it’s a company that’s been around a long time so they’re immune to bad ideas?
Crown royal really weird reasoning here, or more likely lack thereof, it’s very rare for games to require you to know how to use a sight and its conversely not that rare for guns in video games to be easily aimed in spite of not having anything resembling a sight (the assault rifle from halo springs to mind), so if gamers are saying a real gun looks too hard to aim it isn’t because they’re gamers.
Desperado did that with guitar case guns. Sort of mixing this and that old trope about carrying a Thompson in an instrument case. Clearly a major hyperbole.
I took my week-long MP5 operator course in Long Beach, CA...got to shoot every version of MP5 they made at the time, including the briefcase. A while later, I went to that exact range in VA to take the week-long MP5 instructor course, and got to shoot them all again. By far, in both training classes, the most fun was the briefcase.
The MP5k Kofferversion (the second one, which Ian fired) was introduced in 1977, the same year the RAF had their most murders in a single year. Between then and 1985, over ten murders are credited to them alone. So, while I have no proof if these weapons things were ever used, their usage case becomes pretty obvious (and why H&K bothered to offer something seemingly weird like this).
@Eugene Stoner because even in America many have guns but no F-ing clue. Even if they knew weapon safety, trained marksmenship and maintained their weapons properly (which is more than I expect of most) most can't deal with the stress of a life and death situation. Especially with an automatic weapon there will be a lot of stray bullets especially when shooting intuitively... You don't have this problem with blades and when it comes to a dozen men attacking you, your odds are stacked against you no matter if you got a blade or a gun and in either case you need to be very proficient and determined in order to stand a chance...
I attended an SOF convention once in Las Vegas and saw a similar briefcase with an American 180 in it. It had a red laser sight as well. I don't recall if it was silenced. The man who had the display was trying to sell them, and since I was only a 'looky loo' I didn't ask any questions or handle it.
I'm not sure you'd want to shoot further than 30 feet with this so a laser isn't much use. I think this is more a last ditch effort gun in case the real bodyguards go down the VIP can be like "ok you win lemme grab my briefcase with important documents" and then BAM mp5k out of nowhere.
In Executive Protection, there is an "obvious" 'outer ring' of security personnel who mostly look like linebackers; they will generally be carrying concealed handguns. Things like this briefcase would be mingled (meaning, one or two firing units) among the 'inner ring' detail -- the inner ring are harder to spot, because they are specifically chosen to look like the VIP's aides; the only way to spot them, is to try and see the commo earpieces...nowadays, with everyone wearing Bluetooth units, that shade of concealment is a LOT easier. An attacker would first be engaged by the linebackers. The inner ring then closes in on the VIP and shoves them into a car, or somewhere out of the line of fire, while the linebackers do their job. The inner ring, with the briefcases, sticks with the VIP, with the briefcases providing covering fire, should the need arise.... ...In theory. No plan survives first contact, intact.
@@PosranaRegistrace The one problem I could see with Chocolate projectiles that size is wouldn't air-friction just melt it before it got anywhere? Or would that work like the anti-tank mine that shoots a spike of molten copper?
@@GreatgoatonFire Friction should not be that much of a problem, the speed is rather low and target distance probably quite short to affect it enough. To make it more cool, you can yell "Eat this!" at the target.
@@GreatgoatonFire I wonder what the armour penetration of Toblerone is. I know it's capable of finding weakspots (the mouth) and finding its way into the interior to the vehicle (the belly), though I'm not sure if a Bazooka would be the best system to fire this kind of projectile.

And so it came pass that semi-auto was forsaken by Gun Jesus as rounds were fired in full-auto only in bursts numbering three followed by the Holy Mag Dump. Upon completion of the most Holy of Mag Dumps Gun Jesus laughed heartily and declared it was good. Praise Gun Jesus.
I know right? This seems like something a high end movie hitman would carry, to me the only people I can imagine who can afford this kind of thing and require a security detail can take their weapons wherever they damn well please, I don't imagine secret service gives a shit about a no firearms policy. I'm just imagining some H&K employee drunk as fuck the night before he has to pitch a new line of weapons going "Fuck it, we'll put an MP5 in a brief case."
The 80s also is when the RAF still roamed in Germany, with more than ten murders between 1975 and 1985. So the idea makes kind of sense, especially after high-profile murders like with Hanns Martin Schleyer.
I'm not really into guns at all, but I love this guy's videos. He has the perfect balance of expert knowledge, gun nerdery, and humour. You can really tell he's loving firing this briefcase gun!
Also an important reminder: Make sure you have the right end of the briefcase away from your gut! Imagine a guy having the muzzle in his gut then just pulling the trigger
I remember using this the first time when I was with the Feldjäger (German Military Police), it was fun to use, but also a very strange feeling. And the test cases we had, had been used so often that the top sometimes didn't come off. I liked to shoot the MP5K without the case though.
Great video as usual Ian. Way back in the late '90's I was in a firearm's instructor training course with an RCMP member who described these H&K units being carried by the Pope's body guards when he visited Canada. I assume they'd have been members of the Swiss Guard, but don't know for sure. Anyway I thought of him, them and that long, long ago course when I watched the video. The RCMP Constable never got to see them used either, so that's very cool. Thanks for the memories and Merry Christmas to you all.

Where else does the Venn diagram of places where security forces being visibly armed being too conspicuous overlap with places someone who needs a security detail would go? Somehow the secret service has managed with SMGs _not_ in briefcases.
I wonder if you're supposed to use it on a very, very short distance, like almost pushing the briefcase up to the intruder. Imagine a conference situations, someone is storming on the podium or you walk through a crowd and someone is running towards your asset. You push the briefcase against them and fire.
Crown royal yeah fine, apart from being an automatic weapon with no real way to aim it for use in crowded areas, does that really not set off any red flags for you? What, it’s a company that’s been around a long time so they’re immune to bad ideas?
Crown royal really weird reasoning here, or more likely lack thereof, it’s very rare for games to require you to know how to use a sight and its conversely not that rare for guns in video games to be easily aimed in spite of not having anything resembling a sight (the assault rifle from halo springs to mind), so if gamers are saying a real gun looks too hard to aim it isn’t because they’re gamers.
@@Phos9 stop dissing my luggage
Seems like this design could really benefit from a laser sight that activates upon a light trigger press, before you pull far enough to actually fire.
Awesome video man I was surprised at the accuracy of your luggage.

Desperado did that with guitar case guns. Sort of mixing this and that old trope about carrying a Thompson in an instrument case. Clearly a major hyperbole.
Gives a new meaning to "packing magazines in my briefcase"
Way cooler than my samsonite/mosin nagant
Muh bolt-action tho
I notice that where the trigger is positioned on the briefcase handle puts it forward of the action... :)
I mean technically, a F-35 is a bullpup too...
I can verify. When I was at HK SMG instructor training, this was precisely how we were taught to fire the briefcase gun.
What sick one liners did they instruct you to say before firing it?

I took my week-long MP5 operator course in Long Beach, CA...got to shoot every version of MP5 they made at the time, including the briefcase.
A while later, I went to that exact range in VA to take the week-long MP5 instructor course, and got to shoot them all again.
By far, in both training classes, the most fun was the briefcase.
Is that a military/law enforcement thing H&K does or something else?

Bullshit. How much use did they get- was it all range practice or were there actual executive protection firings involved?
@@ringsystemmusic most likely practice
The MP5k Kofferversion (the second one, which Ian fired) was introduced in 1977, the same year the RAF had their most murders in a single year. Between then and 1985, over ten murders are credited to them alone. So, while I have no proof if these weapons things were ever used, their usage case becomes pretty obvious (and why H&K bothered to offer something seemingly weird like this).

@Eugene Stoner because even in America many have guns but no F-ing clue. Even if they knew weapon safety, trained marksmenship and maintained their weapons properly (which is more than I expect of most) most can't deal with the stress of a life and death situation. Especially with an automatic weapon there will be a lot of stray bullets especially when shooting intuitively...
You don't have this problem with blades and when it comes to a dozen men attacking you, your odds are stacked against you no matter if you got a blade or a gun and in either case you need to be very proficient and determined in order to stand a chance...

I attended an SOF convention once in Las Vegas and saw a similar briefcase with an American 180 in it. It had a red laser sight as well. I don't recall if it was silenced. The man who had the display was trying to sell them, and since I was only a 'looky loo' I didn't ask any questions or handle it.
They should have added a laser for aiming.
I'm not sure you'd want to shoot further than 30 feet with this so a laser isn't much use. I think this is more a last ditch effort gun in case the real bodyguards go down the VIP can be like "ok you win lemme grab my briefcase with important documents" and then BAM mp5k out of nowhere.
In Executive Protection, there is an "obvious" 'outer ring' of security personnel who mostly look like linebackers; they will generally be carrying concealed handguns. Things like this briefcase would be mingled (meaning, one or two firing units) among the 'inner ring' detail -- the inner ring are harder to spot, because they are specifically chosen to look like the VIP's aides; the only way to spot them, is to try and see the commo earpieces...nowadays, with everyone wearing Bluetooth units, that shade of concealment is a LOT easier.
An attacker would first be engaged by the linebackers. The inner ring then closes in on the VIP and shoves them into a car, or somewhere out of the line of fire, while the linebackers do their job. The inner ring, with the briefcases, sticks with the VIP, with the briefcases providing covering fire, should the need arise....
...In theory. No plan survives first contact, intact.
Dunno if there were lasers that small in the 80s
Wouldn't really be that much of an issue though since you've got quite alot of space in that briefcase. Also, Terminator?
Actually they were a big thing then, but I am talking about the physical size.

@@GreatgoatonFire Friction should not be that much of a problem, the speed is rather low and target distance probably quite short to affect it enough.
To make it more cool, you can yell "Eat this!" at the target.
@@GreatgoatonFire I wonder what the armour penetration of Toblerone is. I know it's capable of finding weakspots (the mouth) and finding its way into the interior to the vehicle (the belly), though I'm not sure if a Bazooka would be the best system to fire this kind of projectile.

1. Remove magazine

3. Give MP5K a prostate exam

I know right? This seems like something a high end movie hitman would carry, to me the only people I can imagine who can afford this kind of thing and require a security detail can take their weapons wherever they damn well please, I don't imagine secret service gives a shit about a no firearms policy.

The 80`s is groovy.
The 80s also is when the RAF still roamed in Germany, with more than ten murders between 1975 and 1985. So the idea makes kind of sense, especially after high-profile murders like with Hanns Martin Schleyer.
Naw, not groovy. Just rad.

Poor poor Robbers. They d get fucked up by the german Quality memes tho...
I remember using this the first time when I was with the Feldjäger (German Military Police), it was fun to use, but also a very strange feeling. And the test cases we had, had been used so often that the top sometimes didn't come off. I liked to shoot the MP5K without the case though.
Great video as usual Ian. Way back in the late '90's I was in a firearm's instructor training course with an RCMP member who described these H&K units being carried by the Pope's body guards when he visited Canada. I assume they'd have been members of the Swiss Guard, but don't know for sure. Anyway I thought of him, them and that long, long ago course when I watched the video. The RCMP Constable never got to see them used either, so that's very cool. Thanks for the memories and Merry Christmas to you all.
