Best MP5 for under £200?

[Seagal99]

I’m a newbie looking to buy my first AEG gun. It HAS to be an MP5 as I just love that gun (looked at other options but every time I look, I just end up back at MP5s). I’m sure it’s been asked before but I couldn’t find a thread. Can someone recommend a decent beginner MP5 for under £200? I have no idea about brands so any opinions would be appreciated.

I have just got the CYMA MP5SD6 https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/cyma-cm041-sd6-blue-limited-edition-airsoft-rifle-mp5-35253-p.asp

Its full metal and runs perfect.

You have chosen... wisely.

As to brand, sorry, can't really advise.  I have a cheapy Galaxy MP5K that's been surprisingly decent, but I do like those SD6s.  I had a brief play with a Jing Gong version that seemed fine, and it'll run you a bit less than the metal CYMA.

Remember you'll want to factor in a charger (IMAX/SkyRC B6), lipo batteries, mags and the rest of your stuff.

The Cyma / JG stuff is decent and will last a good while.

If you can find one 2nd hand get a TM or G&G toptech.

Might be a bit too out-there if you're new to AEGs/Airsoft .. buuuuut.

Patrolbase have this knackered one in their boneyard for £120. 

Usually a £275 gun new.

Buy it, post it off to Luke from Negative Airsoft and he'll have it running like new for possibly still under £200 all in:

Nice find!

Great. Thanks for the info guys. I’ve found the Airsoft community is like Twitter, but not arse holes and actually helpful LOL. I’m a little wary of taking on a project gun as I’m not the most clued up, but I really like the look of those CYMAs. I should get my membership number next weekend so will look to purchase then. Where’s a good place to buy batteries from? Are ones on Amazon legit?

Buy Turnigy batteries direct from HobbyKing

Just as long as you ask the RIGHT questions that is , even though you’ve asked an open ended one you’ve given everyone a good set of parameters to work within (you’ve already decided on what gun you want it’s just make and price you’d like advice on) the ones that drive most S’ofters demented and then get the sarcastic replies are the “I’m new what gun shall I buy and where from !”?‍ Literally the most subjective question possible to ask in ANY sport or hobby ! Your asking people to voice there opinions on a personal like or dislike , when you come down to it one man’s gold is another man’s piece of crap ! ?

So carry on with the good questions bud ! ?

And in this case, I'm not aware of any bad MP5 AEGs in that price range . So you're good to just pick whatever one you want at whatever price you're willing to pay and enjoy it.

Was looking at MP5s trying to track down an old ICS version recently that has the burst option, no longer available and I think discontinued

take a look at the ICS MX range, there ‘version’ of the MP5 on firesupports website
