Velocity Arms Mp5 Sportline series discussion
As a noob, it's my favorite series. Didn't find a main discussion on them, so thought I'd post one here.
Yeah, they're cheap guns, yeah, they're not all that great in certain areas--but hey, as a budget airsoft gun, it's not that bad (Especially when I picked mine up for $110).
From what I gather, out of the box they clock at an average of 310fps. Mine chronies pretty much right on that mark. A single hi-cap mag holds about 200BB's, and you can get a 'dual-mag' (it's actually one solid reservoir) that holds 560 rounds. Uses a nunchuck-style battery.
personally, I have the MP5A3 variant, which has the collapsible/adjustable stock. I love it in the CQB environments like Ultimate Airsoft; the adjustable ironsights make targeting easier. It also has easily adjustable hop-up, too!
In terms of outdoor gameplay, I haven't actually had a chance to game it yet (soon to change this Sunday; see you in Whitby fellas), but my buddy has the exact same model and he says it does him pretty well. Obviously, due to the low fps out-of-box, .23's seem about the heaviest BB you can game without upgrading the gun, so wind plays an unfortunate factor.
However, it sure beats my previous airsoft gun which was a clearshit M4 that clocked at 240fps.
So, any experiences; either for, or against, this series of Airsoft guns?
