I picked this up off my network and I haven’t seen it anywahere else yet. I have blacked out his eyes so as to protect his identity. Does anyone know what kind of gun this is?<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Readers write in response: Looks like an MP5 (Heckler & Koch MP5A2), a 9mm submachine gun, which usually has a collapsible stock and used widely by \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcLaw Enforcement\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 agencies.

And also: This gun is a toy!
