I disassembled the MP5 late last night and the rubber plug has disappeared into oblivion. It must be somewhere on my desk among my tools etc... When I get time I’ll check the FPS and see how she runs. Yes, forgot to mention it’s the 2019 Version 2.

I might be tempted to offload my SD3, just FYI 😉

I’m surprised they got back to you. To be fair to them they got their V2 system tuned to perfection. It’s sooo good.

Righto I removed mine just to see and it works like normal. Although I haven’t tested the FPS.

Hmmm. Do you have the V1 or V2 SD?

I read somewhere that on the older gen VFC it worked as a gas cutoff lever. The V2 disabled this feature and it saved gas. Aside from that I never put much thought into it.

Cheers guys. This is the best community around!

Hiya, I’m cool thanks. The main reasons why I didn’t put the GBLS against the Marui MWS is because I had a limited amount of time that I was allowed to review the rifle and as the most realistic AEG I wanted to put it up against the most realistic GBBR I had. So that was the GHK M4. The best reasons to go for the GBLS is you don’t have to deal with all the hassle that comes with GBBRs. The physics of using system that is reliant on compressed gas which can fluctuate performance depending on environmental changes is an ongoing threat that you have to accept. Unless HPA sounds appealing to you...but that doesn’t sound like your cup of coffee at all. HPA’s for nerds anyway 😛 I think a lot of people here would agree that the MWS has the upper hand purely because it’s soooo user serviceable, and it’s got a vast supply of upgrades available to it. I can’t think of anything more frightening than stripping down a GDR-15 to its bare components. So in that regard the GBLS is certainly not better. There’s a million ways to break it down but it’s still an AEG. I found the stock range to be excellent. Over hopping 0.30g’s to roughly 70m. Accuracy was no better than my TM Recoil SCAR L. Is it that much better than an MWS? no it’s not. If your teammates aren’t comfortable with going gas, despite how cool your MWS shreds people, and they aren’t spooked out by spending almost £2k on the GBLS, they should go for it. The justification to spend that amount of money is the excuse to not have to deal with the issues that we happily take on the chin. The flip side of that coin is like Systema PTW’s/expensive cars, parts and servicing cannot be done on the cheap. That’s what it boils down to, off the top of my head anyway. Hope that helps.

I do. As long as you do it in a safe and well ventilated area you should be alright. I keep an eye on mine as they’re filling and weigh them as I go, this makes sure I don’t pump too much gas in. They can be charged with more gas than what they come with from new. Over the past few years they’ve begun producing them with one way valves which prevents you from refilling. I have a couple which won’t take so much as a breath of fresh propane, even using the pre-chilling method. I’m quite lucky as I have 3 cans which are older.

Hi Rob! Thanks buddy. lol, I get the blame for everything! I’m sorry to hear that you’re poor now though. Try to stay warm this winter. 😜 Damn, I miss Mr Nugent. He had such a valuable resource of information.

Mr M***s, how the devil are you? I was planning to do it next month. But might have some scheduling conflicts with another freebie, lol. So it might be January. Yes indeed. Hi bud, thanks!! Did you get the MP5?

This is completely normal. Mines really mushed in at this point but still cycles fine.

A hack saw would do it. Although, like some people have done, I’ve been looking at using shortened tubes to gain a little more gas storage without having to worry about overfilling the magazines.
