Are these German or Turkish manufactured MP5’s used by HK Police?

I'm just speaking out of my ass, but is there a possibility that they're Chinese made MP5s? They love their Chinese made knock-off versions of popular guns over there

Hong Kong used to be British colony up until 1997 when they formally returned control of Hong Kong to China. Up until then, the Royal Hong Kong Police was modeled after the British police force, and the Hong Kong SDU modeled after the British SAS. Almost every arms they had were Western sourced. The revolvers the RHKP patrolman carried were bought from the Americans, the S&W Model 10 and Colt Police Positive Special.

Part of Chinas big deal with Hong Kong is asseting their sovereignty over Hong Kong, as many Hong Kongers are adamantly resistant towards Chinese rule. Having Hong King law enforcement use copies of Western firearms goes against that goal, especially when China is more than capable of domestic firearms design and production.

They still use some Norinco guns though I'm pretty sure

Norinco makes or used to make a MP5 copy.

Not a good quality pic but I think you’re right on here. Can’t see weld quality or anything but the wear on magazine entry seems odd and more in line with a lighter phosphate finish than the h&k coating

Consistent-Plane7227@reddit

My brain read that and came up with the H&K police 👮

ApparentlyEllis@reddit

Are they allergic to cheek welds?

[-]

SebWeg@reddit

Yes, hence the cheek protection they’re wearing. They are allergic to a proper push into the sling technique too. Looks completely Loosey-goosey. Until they press the trigger. But it looks like they never did in training.

Ah yes, the "Is this a chinese knock off?"

Jens_Fischer@reddit

If they're old MP5s, then most likely HK made. RHKP was rich af to buy PSG-1s. I wouldn't be surprised if they're buying the best straight from HK :P

However, if they came after the trade embargo around 2020, then it might be NR-08 (A4 copy) or CS/LS3 (A5 copy), the Chinese produced versions of them.

H & K used by HK

charlestsai@reddit

They used to use German HK MP5s but later Germany announced embargo on exporting weapons to Hong Kong amid the protest in 2014 and 2019. I believe they briefly used CS/LS3, a 1 to 1 copy made by Chongqing Jianshe Industry under the umbrella of Norinco. Now they have switched to Chinese made CS/LS7.

Does HK stand for HongKong in this case? /s

Jokes aside, I bet they are knock offs, neither Turkish nor German.
