TM MP5 NGRS Owners

First game day today and it ran well, despite my attempts to dig a trench with the magazines. I need to build a more MP5 specific rig. Hicaps ran well enough, trigger response and accuracy good, although I really feel some sort of micro red-dot would aid in the first round hits. Was surprised by how fast I burned through the mags. :) Not the ideal gun for going prone, of which there was a lot today.

Also, only used about 50% of the battery, which I felt was pretty good considering how much I was shooting.

Spoke to another user who says a small titan brick will fit and who'd got a slightly stronger spring in. There was a noticeable difference, but I didn't feel compelled to rush out for upgrades just yet. The site was Green Ops, which is basically rhododendron jungle fighting, with a couple of slightly more open areas, so a good test environment. It might have struggled more in open woodland.

3rd burst is still brilliant.

Good site. I was there today as well.

Yeah some of the rhoddy takes some getting through.I consider it a clean site regards to the terrain when wet. I think it's due to the sandy soil which soaks up the rain and doesn't turn to mud.

Regards

What are people doing for batteries?

Best fit I've found so far is this -

View attachment 79529

I've rewired it to MR30 connector (badly, I am utterly shit at soldering) and it does fit. 16AWG wiring, which seems the right sort of size. Some of the others have 14AWG, but then that's just thick enough to stop everything fitting. Dimensions on this are 86Lx33Wx15H.

There are probably nunchuck style ones that people are fitting in instead, but in terms of relative ease (once you get rewiring done) these should be simple enough to swap out at lunchtime. If you need the connectors you can get them here. You might be able to get everything fitting using the adaptor that's included, but I prefer to free up the space by not using it.

The biggest battery I have managed to fit in so far is this https://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalog/product/view/id/4717/s/vapextech-airsoft-7-4v-1800mah-30c-lipo-battery-with-case-lp015-deans-version/

I think if it was any bigger it would be more of a struggle and in danger of pinching the wires, you can feel abit of resistance when you push the handguard into place

Anyone know what the limits are for the mosfet in terms of battery?

 
I'm assuming I can't cut off the MR30 in the gun and get a regular deans in there instead given the 3 wires/crimped connections?  No idea tbh, never seen this connector before.  I just got to the point a few months ago where every single other gun and battery I have is all on deans, only took over a decade.

You could do, although you'd have a "spare" wire and then presumably not be able to take advantage of Marui's battery when it comes out. I'm not sure what the third wire would be used for but I'm guessing at battery cell monitoring of some sort.

Probably a smarter choice to just make up a connector though (as Jebus has illustrated)

 
Ho-Ho-Ho now I have a machine gun! well actually I've had the gun for a while but only one magazine.

If anyone is looking for mags (not the 72 bb version as these are like rocking horse pooh at the moment) then try sendico. 

Sendico is a Japanese site that buys stuff for you that you normally can't buy from Japan. You need to sign up and add funds to the wallet to make purchases. The way it works is you find an item on their site, which browses all the Japanese retailers, and click buy. They charge you 500 yen per purchase (about £3.30) and then buy the stuff for you and give you a quote for shipping. Shipping just took me 10 days with EMS from Japan.

If you shop around you can find the 200 hicaps for as cheap as £21. it's also worth mentioning that if you buy 1 magazine from 1 place they will charge you £3.30 but if you buy 4 mags from the one place they will still only charge you £3.30

Also watch out as the old MP5 mags are usually listed as standard and the new recoil mags are listed as next-generation. here's an example:

https://www.sendico.com/rakuten/item/konan:11354709

I've got another 3 hicaps on the way and expect them to be delivered this week some time.

 
Good to know.  Does Sendico work with RIFs too, do you know?  I know a few services don't allow them.

i don't think so. most of the yahoo auctions come back as blocked due to shipping so it might be sendico's policy to block RIF shipments

 
20 odd 72 rounders just went up on firesupport…sold out before I could even find my card!

 
Yeah, I got the notification and there were 54 on there. Gone before I could get any (at work)

 
According to my inbox I snagged a few as I'm able to use my phone in work, feeling like I might've gotten pretty lucky there.  Only signed up for the email alerts from them by pure chance 2 days ago after I trawled google for stock, but finding none I signed up for all 3 alerts I could find from reputable retailers instead.

That said, I've played with the gun a fair bit in order to build a little muscle memory having not owned an MP5 before and either my mag catch sits a little deeper in the housing than it's meant to or the design isn't ideal.  After a few dozen reloads seating the mag got harder and harder to a point it was pretty unreasonable.  There's a lot of paint missing inside the housing now on my gun and a small chunk of plastic taken out of the top of the mag where it pushes on the catch.  I think the catch just has a lot more spring tension on it compared to any AR or AK I've ever handled, real or airsoft.

God dammit. I shall return it. I risked it because I couldn't find an RS or a system stock. If you have a link that would be fantastic or know anyone selling

I've just ordered a VFC GBB fixed stock as I think that will fit as well.  VFC stocks can be found on wgcshop at around £46.
