B.T

Thanks for the information! And You are probably correct about the MP-5 being issued to special forces units.

I found a pic from 2001 showing the UZI being used in training

From my time in Kuwait in 2001-2002, the German MP's also brought with them a few MP-5K's. I can only guess this was for VIP protective services for concealing under a sports coat. I didn't see any full sized MP-5 submachine guns though.

For what it's worth, in 1999 or so while I was stationed at Spangdahlem AFB in Germany, a convoy of Bundeswehr trucks stopped at our base, carrying who I believe were reservists. At least one of the truck drivers I saw had an UZI slung on his shoulder.

It was also used by Luxembourg. Was it used by the Norwegians?
