That, friends, is a darn good representation of what a Heckler and Koch MP5 sub-machine gun looks like. And contrary to popular belief, there's no real ammunition in there -- unless you consider the kind required to shoot digital clay pigeons "real munitions." Spotted at a nondescript trade show over in Hong Kong, this here
Wii controller actually comes with
Wiimote, nunchuck and
MotionPlus functionality built right in (wild, right?), so there's no need to slip your own Wii controller in before greasing up your face, jumping in the fatigues and mashing that diminutive power button on your console. Who knows if this thing will actually ship Stateside, but man, can you imagine the line at your local GameStop if it does?

Might have to get a wii now.
With the amount of peripherals like this for the Wii you'd think there would be tons of games like Time Crisis or House of the Dead on this system....
Everybody knows the MP5 is for the spray and pray noobs, though. Too bad they didn't make a controller of the G3. The real man's gun.
This is bad ass the only problem is the same as always. No games worth using it on. ;-(
woohooo, the HK Triad had changed their business: selling fire-arms ---> selling Wii-mote-guns
aren't there House of the Dead games on the Wii actually?! anyways... DO WANT!!
@Darwin:
Yes, that's precisely why it's the least popular weapon in the arsenals of special forces the world over...Wait, maybe you meant to say it's one of the most accurate weapons at short range, has low recoil, can fire subsonic ammunition, can be easily concealed, has many variants for differing conditions, a high cyclic rate and can accept dozens of attachments. No wonder special forces love them. I know I'd rather have a short, light weapon in close combat than a longer, heavier rifle variant.
Maybe you've been pwnd by a few too many MP5 wielders in FPS games.
@ egghead
Bravo, and all around well put.
@ Darwin
Look just because my blue and red camo MP5's and pissed all over your parade in COD4 is no reason to harbor ill feelings toward this fantastic weapon.
@egghead
exactly what "special forces" still use this?
i didnt get them memo that they dropped their hk416's for a 9mm smg >_>
I can't wait for some idiot to walk down the street with one of these and be shot by the numerous people who are armed with real weapon in the States.
That would be fantastic. But seriously, fantastic. Now if they modded a real mp5 and added a wiimote so you could shoot people and play the wii at the same time, I might actually buy one.
Always funny when that happens.
@FraggleRock, Laser Tag?
Um, no. This is basically the same thing as an airsoft gun (with the orange tip identifying it's a non-lethal weapon), except nothing shoots out of it.
Actually here in the states most people would laugh at the piece of plastic if you tried to pass it off for a gun. It looks like a shitty plastic airsoft gun complete with a bright orange tip. But yeah we have more guns and money than you.
You act like we are dealing with rational people who can recognize a non-lethal weapon.
@Harris, the professional airsoft guns in the 400-600 dollar range for war games ship with the real tips.
(sadly in the states the orange tips come glued on).
Orange tip or not, it ain't getting released in the US. Hasbro couldn't get a day-glow orange Megatron re-release onto the market because it used too many different colours, this thing has no chance.
@ Argentseyer - You act like people in the states that are legally allowed to carry firearms are irrational trigger happy gun nuts. Stereo type much?
That is awesome.
"Ah, the Heckler and Koch MP-5 Wiimote. Quite deadly in the right hands."
...I love that film
I'm Doctor, um, Boff, from the Lunatic Response Unit.
that seems more like MP5K to me! Had to.
Yeah, but it doesn't really look like a K either.. Something looks way off, I think it's the barrel.
I think it's the forward grip that screams K
Definitely the PDW
+1 internets for you
As a rule I usually hate these things...but this one looks pretty nice...partially because I'm an HK fanboy.
I'm digging that button placement too.
Now instead of putting a hole in the TV, little Jimmy can put a hole in...
it will heat on our political killergame discussion here in germany in a veeery bad way...

I forsee H&K getting pissy about this. They recently cracked down on a .22LR clone of the MP-5 because it looked too similar.
And rightfully so. It is their trademark and patent. You dont defend it you loose it.
Nevermind that the patent on a gun introduced in the 60s has long since expired, it's based on the G3 rifle, itself based on the older Spanish CETME rifle.
At the same time they're making AR15 clones, copying another design from the same era. How they with the nerve to sue is beyond me. They're lucky Colt doesn't have the same attitude.
Why are people downrating your comment?
True story people. Read first before downrating a comment please.
This would be a great gift for an important politician. You should run up to him and give it to him really quickly though, preferably at a large outdoor gathering.
Yeah and get your wig split.
I'd like an M1 Carbine and a zombie game. Ooh, or the GoW Lancer and, um, GoW.
Wow thats awesome !
" A young man was shot dead today by armed police carrying what was believed to be a harmless peripheral for the Nintendo Wii"
If the boy was pretending to aim at people, an officer would take action but only a taser at most.
I would like an Rpd with life-like recoil, and possibly bullets
Why did you capitalize only the first letter of an acronym?
You're supposed to either capitalize all letters or just don't bother.
Plssz cohrect dissz sentance foh me 2 teachaa
I have to go change my pants now...I hope you are happy Engadget...
This ooks too real...Some urban kid with a 4.0 gpa is gonna get killed by cops showin this off to his friends...Grimey
There's a freakin orange tip FOR A REASON..........................
When Where a How. can you order one. I read it is not in the states but I would import this if I could find out where to buy it anyone found that out yet?
Lul....to do what with?.....play redsteel....XD
'Nuff already with the "'nuff said".
Let's see that Duck Hunt dog laugh at me now!
Yeah baby! If I remember correctly, there is a mod to use the WiiMote to control your PC (possibly Mac) mouse cursor. Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I do believe so, but am too lazy to Google it. Freakin' awesome!!!
OK, im selling my 360 tonight so i can buy this. if this is any indication of what is to come in the future of Nintendo consoles, then im buying nintendo stock before the Wii HD (Wii 2) comes out.
Go ahead. Its your Xbox. Just so you know Wii HD will just be able to run in 720p but it will still run games like CoD at low settings.
Hi guys,
Funny to see my MP5 here, actually it makes me happy even if I would prefer more clear picture of the gun.
This product is 100% finish and I'm still waiting for one USA distributor.
2 versions are available : one loaded with wiimote and nunchuks functions only, and another one with wii motion plus added.
I guess the price should be $59 for the "classic" version, and $70 for the "full Op" version.
People who wants more info can write me @ ghuau@hotmail.com.
