MP5 clone in .22LR (GSG-5)

[repair-man]

Not sure if any of you guys have seen this yet. It has a 16" barrel under the faux suppressor and apparently most original equipment will fit on it. Apparently, it was approved for import this month. The best part, $499.00 Looks like a fun plinker.

Atlantic is taking preorders on them:

The only thing I'm a little weary about is that this company makes high-end airsoft and paintball products. I'm going to wait to see some in the wild before I may buy one.


Here's the cheezy german production video too.

It LOOKS cool, but like you said, probably best to wait until we read some real reviews on it before giving it a thumbs up or not.

Also, at $500 one could buy a 10/22 and pimp it out. You'd have a great plinking rifle known to be reliable.

I saved the page, hoping more comes out about it. If the price came down a little on it I would seriously think about buying one.

Yeah at that price I think I would lean more towards an AR with a 22lr upper assembly, but one could do quite a bit to a 10/22 for that.

I'm hoping a someone else will get one and tell me if its reliable, it looks pretty rad. I'd love to get it SBR's and Surpressed.

Someone mentioned they were trying to make it work with the HK trigger packs too but its hard to tell since all the info is in german.

That looks awesome, much better than the MP5 looking shell that goes around a Ruger 10/22 barrel/receiver...

that video is funny. when they were showing those dude sitting around that laptop in some conf. room i kept on imagining that someone would bust in and kill them all with a GSG-5

is that wrong?
