Summary
Edit
The DW-P5 is fully automatic submachine gun with a twenty-four round magazine. It features a mounted scope. The DW-P5 is an all-around excellent weapon. Its adaptability for different situations has made it a favorite with various combat units. It can be modified to use night vision optics, a short range scope, a silencer, a flashlight and a red laser dot.
AdvantagesEdit
This submachine gun has balanced stats. Compared to other weapons, it is quite accurate. When using the scope, the weapon will switch to a semi-automatic fire mode for increased accuracy.
DisadvantagesEdit
The weapon has a short magazine which runs dry quickly when used in sustained fire. When held on fully automatic, the recoil will get the better of the weapon and it will become difficult to control. It is best used when fired in bursts.
UsageEdit
The weapon has seen widespread usage by various combat units. Notably, it has seen use by dataDyne shocktroopers and by Carrington Institute tactical teams. Joanna Dark and Jonathan Steinberg have both used the weapon on a regular basis in field ops. It is likely due to the weapon's balanced features and interchangeable attachments that it has maintained its popularity.

Perfect Dark (Game Boy Color)
- This gun appears to be in the game as the SMG option. It is more likely supposed to be the AR34 (As Rare hadn't designed the DW-P5 yet), however the image resembles the DW-P5 the most.
TriviaEdit
