The V2 MP5s are full size MP5s (navy, A1-A5, etc).

The V3 MP5s are all the short versions, so MP5K and MP5K-PDW (MP5K with a folding stock). Marui originally made an MP5K a long time ago, it's still available, it's a great gun, it shoots around 280fps on 0.20g BBs out of the box and it doesn't need any upgrade whatsoever, 280fps is perfect for CQB. Its a very durable gun and will likely last many many years, maybe even forever if you power it with an old school 8.4v nimh battery.

Recently Marui came out with their high-cycle series and they made an MP5K. It has an inflated butt and fires a lot faster. It's also more expensive. The internals are slightly better to survive the faster shooting rate. The problem is that it fires a lot faster. When you play in real capacity games, you'll get through these 30 rounds mags really fast is you use full auto. You'll have to stick to semi. The advantage of the higher firing rate is that semi-auto fire is a bit more responsive, so overall it is a better gun is you plan to stick to semi auto and if you like the inflated butt they gave it. Real MP5Ks don't have large butts, so its not super realistic.
