mallomiu Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) My arms get so tired after playing with a mp5 all day, I'm also only 4"11 so it's not very ergonomic for me. I don't know too much about guns in general so not sure what to look for, I'd really appreciate any tips and recommendations. Thanks ☆ミ Edited March 22 by mallomiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chev Chelios Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Get a good 2 point sling. The Ferro Slingster is the goat https://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/ferro-concepts-slingster-19772-p.asp copy https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005542124269.html? it allows you to adjust it on the fly so can pull it tight to the body to give your arms a rest. Get some dumbbells do curls. "Woman the F up" Edit: Welcome to the forum BTW Edited March 22 by Chev Chelios Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavinkempsell Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Depends if you want a nice light polymer pew or a steel pew, MP5 is a pretty small rif to carry, doe's your MP5 have a full or retractable stock? A sling is probably a good shout unless you want to go super small like a P90, MP7 or MAC11. What other kit are you using, chest rig? webbing? pockets?

EDcase Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) MP5 too heavy? 😲 AAP-01 with drum or 50rnd mags and a stock? Edited March 22 by EDcase Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Plastic bodied mp5s are probably one of the lightest AEGs around so tbh I'm not sure you'll find anything significantly lighter without using a pistol. As others have posted your best bet is to get a sling Tackle and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted March 22 Supporters Share Posted March 22 Ahoy and welcome. Which type of MP5 are you using at the moment? Just trying to get a feel for what you consider heavy or light. If you can find one, the plastic Galaxy MP5K (G5K) is comically light, while still being a surprisingly usable gun in CQB or woodland. if you're playing purely CQB, pistols are indeed usable as primaries. P90s are a decent shout, and p-chan is best chan. Tackle, Tactical Pith Helmet, ak2m4 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Pith Helmet Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Stock length has a big effect on arm tiredness. Mrs TPH uses an AKS with the stock collapsed. Its all metal, but holding the weight closer to her, she does fine all weekend at milsims/filmsims. She's 4'11" too. I play at Snetterton sometimes. My son uses a VZ Skorpion with a li-po there. Ultra light and with a drum hi-cap you only need the one mag. Edited March 23 by Tactical Pith Helmet Rogerborg and Tackle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Tackle Posted March 23 Supporters Share Posted March 23 Bullpup tend to be fairly well balanced, which helps to mitigate the usual issues with ris systems & outer barrels making guns front heavy, but most are still quite weighty guns. The best exception to that would probably be the magpul pdr-c, all polymer bullpup, tiny & super light, the only downside is they're expensive & not many around, but still worth considering ?. One question, how old are you ?, your profile pic indicates young but that can be deceptive, reason I ask is if your below 18, or even below 16, then your still developing & will get stronger over time, barring health issues. The other thing you could do is work on your fitness/strength, a good simple start would be calisthenics for the upper body, no fancy weights or equipment needed & you'll literally see results on a few weeks if you work at it.

Colin Allen Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The polymer Double Bell KAC PDW is small and incredibly light; it takes standard M4 mags as well as the replica 6x35 magazines. https://extremeairsoft.co.uk/product/double-bell-pdw-polymer-body-black-808/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackCommandoUnit1972 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The KWA MP9. It's only a little bit bigger than a pistol and they are about £200. However, the mags run about £50 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egon_247 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 My boy has the same issues... he's 13 and slight. So he's tried all but one of my pews in my armoury. The L96 is nearly as tall as he is, so he's not bothered. He sports a P90. Sometimes with the M4 mag adaptor on it, making it a sub machine support weapon!!! LOL. He's had a Ump45 and i ended up cutting the stock down and making it shorter so he could use it. He tried the M904G i have and seems to enjoy using it (although it is a beasty so that's probably why!) and regularly sports his pistol and a riot shield because he's nuts. He tried the AK47 and being a cyma its light but too long, making his arms ache. The G3 was a 10 minute wonder and is WAAAAY too long for him. TLDR: P90. Tune it and it wont matter, cos you'll be unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sewdhull Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If you like the mp5 if you can source a plastic version you'll get to use your mags again. The metal one is significantly over 3kg. A short adjustable stock would help but any mostly plastic gun would help you. The p90 is a good choice. Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
