Sooo many mp5's

[m102404]

You could stick an 11.1v Lipo pack into the foregrip...it'd probably fit no problem (careful with the sizing...it's tight).

As to whether or not the mechbox would hold up to it...I'd say no, not in stock form. But neither would a TM, Echo1, JG, TSD, Cyma, etc... At least, not for long.

Big batteries can provide a lot of sustained power to the motor. The motor turns the 5 gears and the mainspring is compressed. FPS primarily is affected by the mainspring...but is also affected by the airseal/compression/barrel length of everything else. The battery size has zero effect on the FPS (unless your aeg is setup improperly with a mismatched cylinder).

Big batteries result if high ROF...and hopefully your motor is sized to deal with that much power at the resistance load level of the mainspring/gear-ratio.

For example...with a stock gear ratio, 8.4v large 2200mah battery, and a M90-ish spring...it's entirely possible to hit 1200rpm at 340-350fps w/ 0.20g bbs. That's insanely fast and not necessary for any public games (at least around here). It's fun though...

If you didn't get/understand the last 3 sections...stick to "standard" stuff until you get a better handle on what's what. Get what you want, with whatever look you want. The worst that can happen is that you don't end up liking what you picked...and have to buy another.

only 300 O_O
arg that makes me wanna get a full stock but thing is it looks so uuugly... well imo...
*sigh*
battery or looks... hard descision

not really cheap cause its a minimum of 5 orders

[Dragate]

ahh tru so 400-500 is a good price?

I like my ICS sd1, only complaint is on the full stocks sometimes the battery door gets jammed.

I rock a jg mp5 ras sliding stock at 410 fps. Love the ras front and metal body. Battery goes in foregrip.
Compact, super-solid and mean. Also comes with a nice scope mount for an aimpoint.

My other is a echo1/marui/systema mp5k pdw. Just like Invasian, I LOVE it.
350 fps, high rof, super light and small. I often use it as a primary. It light weight makes it great for reflexive shooting.

I always recommend sliding stock. It gives you a lot more freedom for crawling, running, tight spots.

The sd series looks cool but that front end is limited for upgrades.

I would reccommend getting your rifles here rather than ebay. Ebay sellers are mostly in the states so you can't get them anyhow, or the ones in canada are POS guns that are sold to people who are underage so that they can feel cool.

JG isn't a bad starting platform. Swag upgraded the internals on my wifes MP5 RAS and it works awsome. I think we've had it just shy of a year now and the thing still rocks.

Nothing is better. It's about personal preference.
In airsoft, a TM or CA would be best.

Are u crazy?????

CROSMAN FTW!!!!


honestly though.....SD6 is nic

TM MP5K with full Systema / Prometheus upgrades to shoot 15 rds / second at 250fps, CA Metal body with PDW Stock.

This is my primary CQB instrument of death, gotten alot of kills from some pretty tight spots, amazing surpressive capabilities.

If you are of the shorter stature like myself, the feel of this gun is immesurably perfect for indoor use.

No words can properly describe my love for this gun...

I LOVE the MP5K/PDW!

for mp5k the gas gun is the only way to go

Classic Army MP5s already come with both flash hiders (regular tri-lug and navy style), at least mine did.

+1, however I'd love to get my hands on one of the new CA full metal B&T MP5K with the "SEF" fire selector switch.

+1, but with a few notes...
Spare mags are tough to find. Everyone's been out of them for a while: Tirador just found some for me after a couple of months of hard searching.
The gun needs to be upgraded if one wants to run propane/GG. Upgraded, it may also be fieldable outdoors, as it brings the m.v. to around 320 FPS give or take a dozen depending on temperature. Needless to say, you can't run 'em outdoors when it's cold.
ROF is... impressive.

ah for some reason I actually think a/navy series is better than sd, like sd looks cool, but not so much more that i'd choose it just cuz of the looks

yup thats my mp5

as for preference, id go with a full stock version. not only does it hold a large battery the gun feels more solid. also for the fact that mp5s with batteries on the handguard are much harder to fit in than batteries that go on the stock.

Totally agreed. A collapsible stock can come in handy at times, but really, I weight it as which comes in handier more often - a large battery, or a sliding stock. 90% of the time, I'd have the stock fully extended. 100% of the time, my large 8.4V 2500 mAh battery is useful.
