    Iranian Embassy siege: Operation Nimrod

    On the sixth day of the siege, the SAS stormed the embassy live on television, armed with MP5 submachine guns (including MP5K and silenced MP5SD versions) and Browning Hi-Power pistols. Five of the six gunmen were killed and all but one of the hostages still inside were rescued. The raid made the MP5 famous worldwide.
