Hello all! I have a JG MP5SD6. Love the platform. The hop unit is something to be a bit miffed about! It's the MP5 type which is adjusted by a small lever at the top of the receiver. I love the idea behind it, however it seems fairly loose and whenever I fire, the recoil from the gearbox alone lowers the hop. Anybody else experience this? I am thinking maybe a washer or two on the mechanism to prevent it from moving, just wondering if there was a better or easier way? My mates JG MP5 does not have this problem despite being the same age (1 week old!) Unfortunately the MP5 seems to be one of the harder guns to take apart in my experience. Even getting to the hop unit and barrel means taking apart the receiver and removing the gearbox (Unless I am doing something wrong!) Its a shame there is no true aftermarket replacement for this particular type of MP5 hop unit.

Just picked up 3 scrim scarfs, one in OD and 2 in Vegetata, for my ghillie project

No the hop is still crap but I play CQB so it's all good. Something I will look at modding soon though.

Glock collection starting to build up with the newest OD framed member arriving today.

As noble as the idea is (and it is , I’d love everyone who wants to have a go to be able too) even if manufacturers did start releasing equipment for the disabled to take part by the very nature of the sport it isn’t really that disability friendly when you think about it . Outdoor/woodland ; you’ve got structures/obstacles /uneven ground/dense undergrowth/low hanging bushes&trees and multiple terrain variations in a relatively small area . CQB ; Most are in disused industrial sites on multiple levels which have lots of hazards to anyone with even minimal movement , spatial awareness or disability problems . Plus you’ve got the game play it’s self , which from experience I find at outdoor games is quite mobile around the site so unless the player is happy with more of a ‘static’ role in the game then there’s a good chance you could feel ‘left behind’. CQB even if the site is physical disability friendly (like Strikeforce in Gloucester for example , one huge single level area) it’s still an incredibly fast paced game and unless you can move quickly then again you will miss out on the action due to it being so ‘fluid’ around the venue , plus with both types of sites you’ve more than likely going to have problems just getting to the site before you’ve even started the warm up game ! Whilst the strikeforce gamezone is disability friendly to access it you still need to be able to walk up a fire escape stairwell as its on the first floor , and i can’t remember ever going to a woodland site that had a proper car park with hard standing and metalled walkways to the safezone .

Thanks for your help gents! I have found an official product that may fix the issue. Its called a Strike Chamber and it will tighten the arm up using a rubber O-Ring and plastic attachment. In addition it includes a modified hop arm that apparently gives better shot consistency. Hell even if it doesn't work I have to open up the gun anyway to put these parts in regardless. If I need to add an additional washer then so be it! https://shop.ehobbyasia.com/first-factory-strike-chamber-for-marui-mp5-series-aeg.html Unfortunately the shop was having a sale on other MP5 parts... Time to pimp this sucker out! More ramen to eat this month...

Balls to a disability or not I just want one anyway ! 😍
