Could you point me to a good source, these are what I've always thought were the versions of the H-illuminators:

I never had one and passed on the chance to buy one when they surplused on the market about 10 years ago. And yeah, performance wasn't amazing and was mostly intended for dark rooms, possibly filled with smoke for guys wearing a gas mask. It functioned more like a precise flashlight that gave you a reliable POI since iron sights would have been very difficult.
Also lead to an unconventional slinging technique, stocks were not extended and the MP5 was extended until the sling was tight and they used the aiming devices more or less how a projected red dot would be used years later.

Those illuminators simply lit the cross hairs for your typical Z24 G3 scope. Correct terminology, same company, different item. Haven't had much luck with an online source, I too once thought they were mounted maglites (similar profile for sure) since I had seen the same setup on a few SWAT guns.
FF posted a pic of what looks to be a later generation version (perhaps a true laser model). I recall them being discussed on HKPro and I think that is where I was corrected and I recall them briefly being offered for sale in Shotgun news.

Man, I used to get a bunch of those type HK posters from the ITD. Some were photos and some were sketches by Dick Kramer.
Here's a repro for sale: https://us.hkwebshop.com/HKWebShop/s...mID/10049//289
Interesting. 5 bucks.....not bad.
Biggest regret is not getting than DOC HK94 when I had the chance. They got turkish clones but....not the same.
Had a DOC 94 which I SBRd, then got two second import MKEs, a 94 and a 94k which both were SBR'd. When my factory DOC 94 hit $5,000 I sold it without worrying about it. I have a couple actual, factual MP5s but I always wanted a factory semi for a knock around gun. The MKE's knock around just fine, if you are interested, get one while they are here.
That said, once I have everything in order, a SP5k is next on my list. And if they ever make a factory 94 or SP5 pistol, I'll buy another.

Thanks - that photo was take before 2002 if that helps. I never thought to ask the person who sent it to me (the guy on the left) and I've lost his contact info. He never claimed that he was in the SAS but sent me a few souvenirs (small lapel pins, a pewter challenge coin, SAS card and an RAF aircrew release knife (they type that was sewn to the CRW vest shoulder)).
