About a year ago Larry Vickers and James Rupley published the first volume of a series on H&K firearms, beginning with handguns. After some extensive additional photography (part of which I was happy to be able to help out with), they have now released H&K Volume II, covering submachine guns and PDWs. That is to say, the MP5 and MP7 families, along with programs like SMG I, SMG II, SMG 2000, HK50, and HK54A1. They are joined by James Williamson of Teufelshund Tactical as a collaborating author, who brings a tremendous amount of knowledge on the subject.
Where Volume I had a really substantial amount of background text information, Volume II cuts that back a little bit while expanding the photography by nearly 150 additional pages. This is without a doubt the most comprehensive photographic work on the subject ever done, at 550 pages long. The MP5 is the largest section for obvious reasons, and it begins with the earliest surviving prototypes and continues through the most recent product improvements. In between, we see things like the early tactical light systems, the different covert briefcases, cutaways, and more. While I wish there was a bit more historical reference data on some of the less common variations, it’s still the best resource currently available on the topic.
Guessing there won’t be a Volume 3 anytime soon.

Thanks for the information. I’ve yet to read this book, but this review made me interested. It seems to be something pretty interesting to read. From time to time, I need to write such reviews for my studies, and I can say that it’s not the easiest task. When the task is too hard, I use online assignment help, and it always helps me out. But of course, I try to do everything myself first, and only after I use professional help. And soon, I’ll need to write a paper for my course, and maybe this book will provide me with some useful information.
