Default Just a notation on MP5A4s and A5s

I've noticed quite a few movies where IMFDB members have mis-identified MP5 guns as MP5 A4s and A5s. (the ones with the 'fourth' 3-round burst selection). The vast majority of movie MP5 guns that don't have the S-E-F triggers are in fact, the old MP5A2 (full stock) and MP5A3 (telescoping stock) guns with the NAVY trigger groups installed. It's hard to find any original MP5A4s or A5s anywhere in movie armorer inventories, though there are some. Just be sure to check and double check that the plastic lower has four or three fire selector positions before declaring it to be an A4/A5.

Thanks.
