Weird Gun Wednesday: Heckler and Koch Operational Briefcase

In the 1970’s, terrorist kidnappings were widely feared and personal security teams were deployed by governments and the wealthy to protect likely kidnappees. The guys at H&K wanted to sell the MP-5 to these teams, but had to come up with a discreet way to carry it around.  They built a polymer and aluminum brief case which held an HK MP-5K submachine gun.  It was awkward to shoot and clumsy to reload, but it did have a place in executive protection.  In modern times, it is less subtle than a fanny pack and stands out more than it conceals unless you are disguised as a copy machine repairman.

    It worked. It still would work if it were not for these silly back pack/book bags that have become the norm. In the 70s and 80s executives and students used a brief case. I used a brief case when I went back to college in the 90s. Aiming would just take some practice and adding a laser would make it work much easier.
