The MP5K is short enough that it does not share the standard MP5 nozzle, and substituting one for the other is a common and avoidable error.
If a K-variant has been rebuilt with a full-size MP5 nozzle it will usually chamber badly and jam within a magazine or two.

Good to know before you buy
Compact builds run hot. Expect the nozzle and tappet to wear faster here than on a full-length gun.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a standard MP5 nozzle instead?
No. The K variant is listed as a separate part by the manufacturer and the lengths are not interchangeable.
Does it cover PDW-style MP5K builds?
Most K-based builds retain the same nozzle length regardless of the stock fitted, but measure the original to be certain.
What usually kills a nozzle on a compact build?
Heat and cycle count. Short guns are often run on higher rates of fire, which works the nozzle and tappet harder.
