Yippee Ki Yay! 🤠
In this episode of Hollywood Guns, we're taking aim at one of the most legendary firearms in action movie history — the Heckler & Koch MP5A3 🔥 as seen in Die Hard (1988).

From rooftop shootouts 🏢💥 to that unforgettable “Now I have a machine gun. Ho-ho-ho” 🎅 moment, the MP5 helped cement Die Hard as the ultimate action Christmas classic 🎄. But how accurate was it really?

To find out, we’ve brought in Jonathan Ferguson from the Royal Armouries Museum 🏛️ — one of the world’s leading firearm historians — to cover:

✅ The real story behind the MP5’s design and SAS fame during Operation Nimrod 🕵️‍♂️
✅ Why Hollywood had to use modified HK94s in the ‘80s 🎬
✅ What Die Hard got right (and hilariously wrong) ❌
✅ How the MP5 dominated movies from Lethal Weapon to Sicario 🎞️

Oh, and yes... we’re grading McClane’s trigger discipline 📉 (or lack thereof).
