Conversion kit parts
Intended only for supervised training conducted in accordance with Simunition® safety training pro-
tocols by Law Enforcement, Military and Simunition® approved Commercial Range Programs.
The safe use of the 9 mm FX®and CQT®cartridges requires the installation of the appropriate conver-
sion kit. Proper installation of the kit is required to help preclude the inadvertent chambering of most 9
x 19 mm live, lethal ammunition and ensure the proper operation and cycling of the weapon. For safe-
ty reasons, conversion barrels are manufactured from the same quality steel as service barrels.

Installation
1. With the muzzle of the weapon pointed in a safe direction, remove magazine, lock back the bolt
assembly as per weapon OEM factory guidelines and visually inspect the chamber to verify that
it is unloaded.
2. Field strip the weapon and thoroughly clean the service barrel as per weapon OEM factory
guidelines.
3. Using the handle and insertion tool provided (Parts E & F), insert the sub-calibre barrel into the
service barrel from the breech end (Fig. III & IV). (Note the arrow stating “muzzle” on
Simunition®sub-calibre barrel)
4. Holding the barrel group vertically, rest the tool handle on a hard surface (Fig. V).
IMPORTANT!! This contact will adjust the head space of the kit to your weapon for
functioning FX
®
or CQT
®
ammunition. Failure to properly make this adjustment will
result in improper cycling of the weapon and DAMAGE to the Simunition®sub-caliber
barrel lip.
Place the holding device over the Simunition®sub-calibre barrel (Fig. VI). Maintain the barrel
group vertically with the tool handle in CONTACT with a hard surface. Starting with the screw
closest to the front sight of the MP5, use the provided allen key to FIRMLYtighten the hold-
ing device screws, alternately (Fig. VII).
IMPORTANT!! Failure to firmly tighten the holding device screws will result in
Simunition
®
sub-caliber barrel movement during functioning followed by improper
cycling of the weapon and DAMAGE to the Simunition
®
sub-caliber barrel lip.
IMPORTANT!! Keep the Holding device screws lubricated with oil or anti-seize to pre-
vent them from blocking without holding the Simunition
®
sub-caliber barrel lip proprely.
This could prevent the sub-caliber barrel from being damaged.
5. Separate the locking piece and the bolt face from the carrier. Replace the service locking piece
with the one provided in the Simunition®kit (Part A). Store the service locking piece in the sup-
plied storage box. Reassemble the Simunition®locking piece and the carrier as per weapon
OEM factory guidelines (Fig. VIII, IX, X).
Note: Press the bolt face and carrier together and observe the roller locks to ensure they are not
engaging.
6. Manually cycle the weapon and ensure all mechanisms are operational as per weapon OEM fac-
tory guidelines.
NOTE: For optimal function with the kit, SIMUNITION®recommends that the barrel
and chamber be cleaned using a 9mm /.38/.357 caliber bore brass or stainless steel
brush after the firing of every 80 cartridges.
Returning the MP5 to service use:
1. With the muzzle of the weapon pointed in a safe direction, remove magazine, lock back the bolt
assembly as per weapon OEM factory guidelines and visually inspect the chamber to verify that
it is unloaded.
2. Field strip the weapon as per weapon OEM factory guidelines. Set the parts aside.

Be aware that a firearm converted with this

can be dangerous and lethal. Consequently, the
Simunition® conversion kit accompanying these Handling and Safety Instructions
has been sold under the express understanding that the manufacturer of this conversion kit declines any responsibility for conse-
quences arising out of either intentional or accidental discharge of firearms and ammunitions used with this conversion kit, or from

cable.

WARRANTY: General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems-Canada Inc. (GD-OTS Canada) warrants that the goods shall be free from defect
in materials and workmanship during the period of 24 months following the date of delivery. This warranty is the exclusive warranty given by GD-
OTS Canada.
LIMITATION ON WARRANTY:Simunition®conversion kits are designed to fire Simunition® reduced energy cartridges only. Use of this Simunition®
conversion kit with any other kind or brand of ammunition shall void the warranty.
STAND-OFF TRAINING DISTANCES FOR FX®MARKING CARTRIDGES ONLY: The FX®9000 Series protective equipment has been designed
and tested under rigorous laboratory conditions to resist impact from all FX®Marking Cartridges. GD-OTS Canada strongly recommends
the following minimum stand-off training distances when firing at protected personnel*: 1-foot (30cm) for 9mm FX®and .38 cal FX®
Marking cartridges, 3-foot (1m) for 5.56mm FX®Marking cartridges clipped and 6-foot (2m) for 5.56mm FX®Marking cartridges linked.
Due to the nature of the FX®training system, end users must refer to their respective in-service training guidelines and regulations for the
authorized force-on-force stand-off distances. * Protected personnel are defined as personnel using approved mandatory FX®head, throat
and groin protection (and no exposed skin when using 5.56mm FX®Marking Cartridges).
The FX®8000 Series protective equipment may still be used with 9mm FX®and .38 cal. FX®Marking cartridges only.

3. Separate the locking piece and the bolt face from the carrier. Replace the Simunition®locking piece with
the service locking piece. Store the Simunition®locking piece in the supplied kit storage box with other
kit components. Reassemble the service locking piece, the bolt face and the carrier as per weapon OEM
factory guidelines.
4. Loosen the holding device screws and remove it. With the tool handle and removal tool (Part E & G)
push the sub-calibre barrel from the muzzle end to remove it.
5. Clean and lubricate the weapon as per weapon OEM factory guidelines. Clean and lubricate the
Simunition®sub-calibre barrel before storing it.
6. Reassemble weapon as per OEM factory guidelines. Manually cycle the weapon and ensure all
mechanisms are operational as per weapon OEM factory guidelines.
NOTE: It is very important to strictly follow the above instructions. Once the sub-calibre barrel is with-
drawn, standard 9 x 19 mm ammunition will feed and chamber normally. If the Simunition®locking piece
is forgotten in the bolt carrier, this live ammunition will fire and result in an unforeseen high-energy straight
blowback action which could damage the weapon and be dangerous for the user.
