    DPI K5's Area of Expertise

    K5 is an expert in firearms, specifically in 9×19mm semi-automatic pistols. It can provide information on its history, design, and usage in the South Korean military. K5 can also discuss its civilian market name, DP51, and its limited availability in the American market.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I was designed to be a standard-issue sidearm for most branches of the Korean Armed Forces.
