My first gun, the Cyma MP5K Platinum with the 5KU spitfire/tracer suppressor. Just back from being upgraded so it has a longer inner barrel which runs nearly the whole length of the suppressor. Also has a Gate Aster, brushless high speed motor and upgraded hop up. Accurate to 55/60m and 27RPS.

2,500 green tracer BB's, Nuprol NX600S torch, rail to mount it and a smaller battery so I can take the stock off the gun. I decided to have a go at a local indoor, night CQB game and wanted the right 'kit'.

Similar to Daveoc33. I am new to this so started with day hire or borrowing a mates back up gun. Really wanted a MP5 because SAS, Die Hard, The Matrix....... Yes I am of that generation. I bought my own Cyma Platinum MP5K which was epic compared to what I had been using. One of the guys at my local site had the Bolster armouries patch and a MP5K which looked very similar to mine so I asked him about it. He very kindly let me have a go on the range, I think he was curious as well. The Bolster tuned variant was just better, smoother, more accurate, better sounding, snappy trigger response. Was it 2.5x as good as the platinum, difficult to say it did convince me to send mine off to be 'tuned' with a longer 'polished' inner barrel, high speed brushless motor, Gate Aster, hop up etc etc so it did make an impression. I am thankful I got to have a go as it showed me what I wanted and what could be done and how much better a well set up, shimmed and polished gun could be and stopped me going to a tech and just saying 'make it better' like the noob I am. Out of the box they are expensive but they have got some lovely internal upgrades but it is the law of demising returns at some point.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! So far I am getting away with the cost as its exercise, similar to going to the gym, which is expensive....... Right..... The games I have played so far the youngsters (teenagers) run off and are followed by the aged (avoided using mature and experienced) then stroll back past to respawn before I reach the front line. Will post a picture of the MP5 when it arrives, gone for a longer tight bore barrel so will be keeping the suppressor on when on the field to keep the inner barrel protected.

Hi Forum Quick intro, started playing last year, borrowing kit from a good mate who got me into the game. Mostly been playing outdoor, forest mil sim at Invicta battlefields woodlands Kent and had real fun, starting to learn how the game is played. Been buying my own kit over the winter and now have a reasonable amount of British army green forest camo along with eye and face protection etc etc. Decided to go all in and just bought my first gun (Cyma Platinum MP5 CM0.41L) and the associated trimmings after my first CQB indoor event, which really got the blood pumping, the gun is going in for a bit of tuning before it comes to me with a longer barrel and an upgraded mosfet along with a couple of other upgrades to personalise and remove some of the reported weaknesses. Next I need to choose an optic but wanted to play a few games before deciding what to get.
