Recommend me a stumpy to replace my MP5

These DE Honey Badger things seem all the rage right now, and judging from the feature-packed spec plus bargain price, the overwhelmingly positive reviews from airsofters and the sheer number of people buying them of recent, I'd say they seem like a great choice.

If I was in the market for a good all rounder I'd seriously look at one myself.

 
Personally I'd never buy anything with a PDW style stock, battery options are totaly shit unless you have a PEQ box / the battery mounts in the front.

My son has a Firehawk (which we've modded a bit), and my primary site uses them as rentals, and they genuinely have a lot of plus points but they're massively let down by their mechanical trigger. It's so easy to not pull it fully / hold it in long enough for the gearbox to fully cycle on semi-auto and end up with a jam, with you then having to flip to auto to cycle the gearbox. After Santa pays him a visit this year I'll be bravely, or stupidly, attempting to fit a GATE Aster or Titan in it in the New Year and at that point it would become a beast of an AEG as it has a huge air volume.

Personally, and this is a bit "out there", if I wanted to use M4 / Stanag mags but have something stumpy I'd be seriously considering the...

Specna Arms Rock River Arms SA-E18 EDGE

... which you could even end up using as a sidearm with a DMR or sniper.

 
+1 on the SA-18E. Rather cool pistol-like AR, almost like a 40k bolter, PEQ battery, looks cool. Tempting...
