    Looks like the prototype of the MP5, the MP54.

    I thought so at first, too.
    However I've never seen an HK54 with the ring iron sights.

    The magazines look like the standart HK54's, but I've seen early MP5s with similiar ones that also had
    the dashed lines on them.

    Then again artistic freedom > boring technical shenanigans ^^

    -------------------------------------------
    Edit:
    According to the artist's pixiv website the pic is labeled as "GSG-9".
    Hence I'm assuming it's the MP5A1 that was used by the german police and border guards during the cold war.

    Also removing the ww2 tag and adding tags accordingly.
    I'll leave the military tag in, but keep in mind that the GSG9 is a police unit.

    Should any location tags be used to indicate they are near the border and in WG for instance?
