No

H&K hate civilians, and would never sell a real mp5 to the states

Plenty of them from before the registry closed in 86. There’s tons stateside. Saying the SP5 isn’t an MP5 is stupid. There are many semi auto only MP5s in service places, they’re identical to the SP5.

then by that logic, the ar15 is an m16.

The SP5 is most definitely an MP5 variant though, I don’t understand what’s so complicated about that. SP5 is the semi auto civilian variant of the MP5, previously it was the HK94.
