The MG5 is an open bolt German belt-fedgeneral-purposemachine gun manufactured by Heckler & Koch. Formerly known as the HK121, it was designed in 2001 in order to supplant the MG3, and was adopted in 2015 by the Bundeswehr. The MG5 typically comes in desert tan finish, has perforated upper heatshield and its fixed buttstock shape looks similar to the FN Minimi one.
