MC51 was an interesting compromise between an assault rifle and a submachine gun. It was developed in the mid-80's by a famous gunsmith Bill Fleming for a British firearms manufacturer FR Ordnance. The weapon was based on Heckler & Koch's G3 battle rifle. Contrary to the popular belief, the MC51 was not manufactured nor developed by Heckler & Koch, although the 51 in its name comes from H&K old numbering system (the first 5 indicated a select-fire SMG, while the 1 indicates its chambering for the 7.62mm NATO round).

MC51 was manufactured for the British SAS and SBS, who required a compact but powerful weapon, for situations in which the stopping power and armor piercing capabilities of 9 mm SMG round were inadequate. All weapons produced were shipped to the UK special forces. Most of them were replaced in a few years by HK53.

Basically MC51 was a shortened version of the G3, using the same 7.62x51 mm round. It was very similar to H&K MP5 in design, but had a longer G3-type receiver. MC51 used a 20-round 7.62 NATO-magazine and was also able to use an old 30-round FN FAL-magazine. It had a collapsing stock similar to H&K G3A4 and an S-E-F triggergroup.

MC51 was produced in three variants:
- Standard variant, described above.
- SBS variant, which had either a fixed or collapsing stock and an integral suppressor, similar to the one in H&K MP5 SD.
- Tactical variant, with fixed stock and a 3-round burst capability.
