My second thought was "Hey those are M79 'Thump Guns'..."
Then I read the subsequent posts and realized those are probably from captured or abandoned American and South Vietnamese Army stocks.
Makes good sense, as it's a very simple and effective weapon.
I'm wondering if they were put to large-scale use during the 1978 Cambodian–Vietnamese War or the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War?

Although for the MP5, I'm rather curious as to where they were obtained...unless of course Germany has no problems with small arms sales to Vietnam.
Wiki lists Vietnam as an MP5 operator, specifically "Battalion special police" just as VietPhuong mentioned.
