Some examples of the results of poor sight alignment are shown below. Errors in sight alignment as the round fires will result in a angular deflection of the projectile away from the aiming point in the direction of the misaligned front sight post. Maintain that correct alignment to the best of your ability as you aim and fire the weapon. Align the top of the front sight post with the top edge of the rear sight drum. Looking through the U-shaped rear sight aperture, center the front sight post within the rear sight so that there is equal light to the right and left of the front sight post. Select the appropriate aperture by rotating the rear sight drum. To assume the correct sight alignment with open MP5-K rear sight drum, follow the same procedure used when aligning the patridge sights of a handgun. The sights are exchanged by using the sight adjustment tool to remove the rear sight drum and retain the detents and springs as the other rear sight drum is screwed into place. The two drums can be interchanged so that the MP5K-PDW shooter can fire the weapon with the same degree of precision as the standard MP5 with a buttstock. Rotation of the MP5-K rear sight drum does not change the impact of the rounds downrange. As in the standard MP5 rear sight drum, the MP5-K rear sight provides four various sized apertures to meet the personal preference of each individual shooter. Therefore, the small peep apertures have been replaced with open U-shaped notches so that the sights can be aligned as the weapon is shot like a pistol, held at arms length. U-shaped aperture (MP5-K/K-N/PDW) - The rear sight drum on the K Models of the MP5 differs from that of the other models of the MPS due to the fact that, with the exception of the MP5K-PDW, the MP5-K was originally designed to be used without a buttstock. Maintain that correct alignment throughout firing by making fine corrections in the relationship of the front and rear sights. Looking through the rear sight aperture, center the front sight holder (the ring that protects the front sight post) within the rear sight aperture with an equal circle of light around the front sight holder. Maintain a consistent cheek position (cheek weld) on the weapon during firing. Assume a comfortable firing position and place your cheek on the buttstock within 2-4 inches to the rear of the rear sight aperture. Peep aperture (MP5A2/A3/N/SD/SF/ & MP5/10 and MP5/4 0 - To correctly align the sights on the above listed MPS's, select the appropriate sized rear sight aperture as discussed above.

The four different si2e apertures found on the MP5 are provided for the convenience of each individual shooter, their various shooting styles, and changing lighting conditions. consequently, elevation markings are not required on the rear sight drum as they are on the H&K assault rifle. The maximum midrange trajectory height above the line of sight is approximately 4-5 inches, depending on the load used. As a result of the trajectory of the pistol cartridges chambered in the MP5 submachine guns, the bullet strike is generally the same at 25 and 100 meters, when zeroed at 25 meters. Rotating this drum does not change the impact of the rounds downrange. All MP5's have a rotating rear sight drum that provides four various width apertures. H&K calls the sights found on the MP5 'diopter' sights. These sights are both fast and accurate and are considered the best and easiest to use in the industry. The sighting arrangement on the HfcK MP5 takes advantage of the natural ability of the eye and the brain to easily align concentric circles (circles all having a common center).
