Mp5's

[Cr0-Magnon]

Hi Guys,

 

Apologies if it's been asked a 100 times but I've been considering picking-up an MP5 AEG to chuck in the car as a back-up. Doesn't need to be spectacular, more looking for a workhorse that can take some abuse. As such I'm not looking at anything high-end.

 

Any recommendations?

CYMAs are TM clones perfectly good work horses but might be hot.

I like their "blue" range on taiwangun 🤔

Phwoar, check out the internals on that.

All I can see is that there are bearings on the spring guide and I had to pay extra for that with my Scorpion Evo, so must be good!

Just fished this out of the loft. Talk about old school. It’s got to be around 15yrs old. Maybe older. I’m gonna test it, relube the gearbox, new hop rubber and see what it does.

I kinda regret selling my Marui MP5K High Cycle. It was awesome in almost every way but was unusable at my local woodland site, as at 250fps it literally took ten or more shots to peoples plate carriers before they called it.

Not all of them. The CM.04x series are based on VFC designs. Scratch that, I thought we were talking about AKs for a second there

I've got a couple of JG MP5s and they are stupidly good for the money. Most recent one even has an adjustable spring guide which is handy.

Holy Mary sweet mother! I just did a chrono. 355 to 365 FPS!! What an Earth was I on in those days to build this beast. I honestly thought it was 325 to 330 coz that was the limit in those days. Looks like a spring change is coming. I’d better google how to crack this baby open.

Oh cool, are they polymer or metal bodied?

My JG G36C has that, and yes, it's a great idea.  Maybe 25fps of adjustment range, lets you compensate for spring weakening, tune yourself right up to the site limit, or come in comfortably under it as you choose.  They aren't advertising it on the stock available now though, which is curious.  Why drop such a handy feature, unless it's to save a Yuan or two?
