Not PPU, but I’ve run a bunch of Fiocchi 158gr subs through my MP5K-N. It functions great.
HK always warned against heavier than 147gr, but this was due to the Izzy black tip 158gr +P+. Jim Schatz (may he RIP) previously confirmed that 158gr subs were safe. |

I ran 158 IMI in my PTR without issue.

That Izzy 158gr +P+ stuff makes my Mini Uzi SMG run like a cat on fire - never shoot it in the MP5 platform. While you may (or may not) get away with running a few rounds, a steady diet of it will lead to problems/headaches you don't need.

I've ran a few boxes of the PPU 158gr without issue.
My AP5P doesn't like to feed the last two rounds in the mag if they're flat nose, so I load the PPU 158gr for those since they're one of the only available round nose subs. |

Also have run 158 subs, from PPU, zero issues.

158 Fiochii runs great in mine and I just found that AE 147 subs do not run all that great in my AP5.
