Looking for some hotter than usual 9mm FMJ brass ammo to wake up my MP5. Cheap is good too. Any recommendations? I've heard Fiocchi and Sellier & Bellot mentioned.
 
My MP5 and MP5 clones cycle perfectly with any 9mm 115gr. ammo. What do you mean by "wake up"? If you are having cycling problems I can steer you to the right people to fix it. S&B & fiocchi are on the higher end for velocity and should function fine.
 
A lot of military arms, such as the MP5, are not designed to operate reliably with pistol ammunition. They need military (NATO) spec ammo to to cycle reliably. Most of my experience was with the Ingram MAC 10 in 9mm. This gun would simply not function with 9mm pistol ammo but would absolutely sing with NATO spec ammo to the tune of one round every .04 of a second.
 
I probably won't spell it right but I used some 9mm sub machinegun ammo once and the name was something like Hirtenberger.
 
I have some Winchester 9 mm NATO. The person I bought it from said it was a lighter bullet 110 grain and 1250fps.
I only asked because the boxes just M882 cal 9mm, ball or such like that.
Primer cups maybe "harder" or thicker but I didn't have any issues.
 
I found some S&B 115gr 9mm for $199/1000 so I think I'll order that and try it out. They rate it at 1280fps.

I was having a couple FTE issues with the MP5k, but it is a brand new gun and I didn't even oil it - just ran it out of the box. So it may need both some breaking in and cleaning/oiling. But yea regular 9mm recoils so softly in this thing it's ridiculous. It'll probably like some hotter stuff, as some of you have already suggested.
