Gsg 5 .22lr

[WhiteWhale056]

I'm thinking of picking one up shortly and was just wondering who has had them and what they thought.

I have one and it's a fun little pinker. Seen tons of rounds with only one hiccup, that being a piece fell into the stock and was easily fixed by the awesome staff at engage.

Decent amount of FTE but that's from Walmart bulk crap so I can't bitch to bad.

 

[zoostation]

I have the pistol version and it's a fun little plinker, like a .22 clone should be. It does have an annoying malfunction rate if I use bulk ammo but the good stuff like Mini-Mags runs flawlessly. I will put my opinion in now because I know there are going to be comments about these guns having alloy metal and this or that other .22 clone gun is better and.........yada yada. But bear in mind these are meant to be fun guns, not something to face the apocalypse with. I enjoy the heck out of shooting mine.

What's FTE?

I've heard they are fun to shoot with, but a $600 price tag at Fred's has me looking online for them.

failure to eject= FTE

 

[StantonCree]

I'd wait if I were you the STG44 and MP40 are coming out

 

[WhiteWhale056]

Oh I gotcha. I get that with my other .22 from time to time.

Anyone know of a fairly well priced place to get magazines and parts for them?

 

[StantonCree]

If your looking for tacticool parts, I'd just buy regular air soft or the equilivent junk. I mean it's not a battle rifle, it's a paper puncher.

And as always copes comes in to play http://www.copesdistributing.net/rifle-parts-c-32_97.html

I can't view the pages at work (damn filter) but google (GSG STG44 or GSG MP40).

Or google shot show GSG MP40

Actually you can also shoot a PM to Hafers (IP Section). I know they are waiting on some and I'm for sure driving my ass up to Washington County when they get some in.

Looks like the mp40 will not be available until 2013. They are concentrating on the stg44 first. At a projected price of less than $450 for the mp40, I'll definately be buying!

So will I!!! Again you can PM tim at Hafers for more information. He sent me a couple PM's letting me know he has a few STG44's on order and was VERY good at getting back to me when I sent him responses.

I'm dying to get one or both hahaha.

I have one of the original GSG 5. The kids and myself have ran alot of ammo through it. The only problem we have had was with winchester. A few misfires, but that lot of ammo did the same thing in the 10/22 and SW. Handgun. We have ran subsonic,Target and high velocity REM and CCI with no problems. I have gotten some CCI AR tactical to try. They should do just fine. One thing you want to watch for is slamming the bolt off its holder. You can bend the alloy receiver. (SGN article) Good luck with your choice, I am on the list for an STG 44, can't wait!!

Anyone to comment on or compare the gsg 5 to the umarex mp5 .22?

I have the HK umarex version with fake suppressor and collapsible stock. It looks more like a true MP5 than the new GSG's. Also, it's been very reliable.

I have an eotech on mine and it's a lazer at 50 yards. I use cci velocitors and have no malfunctions. Hkparts.net is where I get my parts.

Is the mock silencer built on to the gun to keep it from being an SBR?

Yes and no. The mock silencer is on there so that it doesn't look entirely too stupid with a 16 inc barrel.

If you unscrew the nock silencer the barrel is directly underneath. So its ment to hide the fact that those guns look dumb as hell not being SBR'ed

Unless you have the pistol.
