— Battlelog description
The M5K is a weapon introduced in the Battlefield 3: Close Quarters expansion and is unlocked upon the completion of the Hold the Trigger assignment. It was first seen in the Close Quarters Gameplay Premiere trailer.
Its ballistic characteristics are similar to the PP-2000, with the same damage and range, but with a much higher rate of fire and increased recoil. Due to these factors, engagements with the M5K should be kept at short ranges. Burst firing can help at long range, but the high damage drop off as well as high horizontal recoil makes this weapon unfavorable for range as it will take up to 9 shots to kill an uninjured foe.
The iron sights on the M5K are very clear and sharp, and easy to acquire targets with at the ranges it should be used at. The weapon features Automatic, Semi, and 2-round burst modes. It's worth noting both hipfire and aimed accuracy of the M5K is slightly worse than other PDWs.
