HK MP5 22lr by Walther - range impressions

[marcopolo_9mm]

I put on a rail and red dot scope with a laser. Sighted it in and all I can say is WOW! What a fun weapon. I think it's perfect for home defense. So far I have 500 rounds through it and have had zero FTE or FTF.

i have the exact same setup! im wondering how to convert it to FA

[TripleThreat]

All you do is add a thing a ma jigger and remove the what you ma call it. But that wouldn't be legal as far as I know.

So in general...would you guys say stay away from the GSG MP5?

i did mainly because it looked hard to clean and i didnt like the lower receiver part. id pay more just for the HK

I've had both and the Umarex/HK one is built better than any version of the GSG. Plus the Umarex one is officialy licensed by HK

I finally got to shoot my MP5-A5 this past weekend. Started off with 100rds of CCI Mini Mags then shot about 200rds of Rem Thunderbolts. Zero failures and ran flawless! This thing is a blast to shoot!

My MP5-A5 (left) and my buddy's MP5-SD (right). He had a few FTFs with the Thunderbolts.



Far left target is my PA 30mm classic red dot zero'd at 15 yards... not bad. Very happy with my purchase!

Is that bench rested or freehand? Finally got mine out to the range and let's just say that my groups were less than impressive freehand using the iron sights. This pistol shooter definitely has some work to do! Thought that the irons would be sufficient but I think that I'm gonna end up getting a dot.

The last group on the left was with the mag rested on the bench thru the red dot. I'm not the greatest either when it comes to freehand with irons. Decent enough groups though.

My Walter MP5 has been great as well. I've actually had more failure to ejects with my 10/22 Takedown than with my MP5. The more I think of it, I don't think I've had one failure to feed or eject with my MP5. That was with a diet of Federal blue box, CCI Minimags, and Remington Gold.

With all due respeck HK or GSG, they're all garbage. OP shoot a couple of bricks and let us know how it goes. The barrel will back out of the block and then you disassemble everything, locktite the threads rinse and repeat.

I've easily put over 2k rounds through my Walther in the last 6ish weeks with no problems.
