L2E Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Maybe use the Dangerwerx low power flute valve? It should really drop the FPS on GG and put it at the sweet spot on C02, thoughts? I am so close to buying the MP5, I just want to make sure I have some recourse in lowering FPS on C02. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I think you would be better off waiting for the WE. Its coming out in a few weeks apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L2E Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not a WE fan due to bad experiences with parts shattering on M4 closed bolt, M4 open bolt, and AK. I have sinced moved to Viper for my AR addiction and GHK for my AK addiction. Now looking for a way to placate the HK urges... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I recently got rid of my GHK because they cant seem to help themselves from shattering the plastic hopup chambers. repeatedly. I would rather have a WE AK personally. with all new steel internals it still costs less then a stock GHK AKM. Also due to my LM4's terrible performance and strange design decisions, (edit, and apparently unfixable jamming and double feeding problems) I have recently moved back to the WE AR platform. I could see myself getting a Viper though if it weren't for the availability. I've had several WE rifles though, and aside from some broken loading nozzles I havent really had much issue with them. Loading nozzles I more or less expect to break though, hell, my VFC Mp5 broke like 4 or them before I just got an aluminum one.

thepunisher Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Brigg, What bb are you using with your KWA LM4? KWA LM4 can't use cheap bbs. Cheap soft bbs will break and causes jam and double feed. I used ICS and Cymax bbs in the past and they ruined the gun. I use KSC bbs now and 5000 shots later no jam/doublefeed. Sorry for discussing KWA LM4 in the Umarex MP5 thread. But just trying to help. Edited February 19, 2013 by thepunisher Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thepunisher Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think you would be better off waiting for the WE. Its coming out in a few weeks apparently. Brigg, I'm curious about where did you get the information that WE is coming out with an MP5 in a few weeks.. Coz' I've been monitoring and waiting for this WE MP5 since 2010.. And still nothing so far.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Just reading the news sites. During the HK Toy fair they said the Mp5 was coming in 6-8 weeks. And during shot show they again said that the Mp5 would be releasing in Q1. Just look up the articles on Airsoft2day or popularairsoft. There hasnt been too much news lately so it shouldnt be too hard to find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thepunisher Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks Brigg, Zereck! Great news indeed! I'm so getting one! I've had enough issues with my previous KSC M4, which made my life uneasy.. I don't want another drama with the MP5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yeah, I really want a perfect mp5. My ghk ak has been perfect with the enhanced recoil kit. This is after several thousand rounds through it. I was extremely close to getting a VFC mp5 because they have awesome externals, but I would like internals to match externals.

L2E Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well there is your problem Finbarqs! The WE will have *suitcasey* externals (trademarks) but possibly solid internals. The VFC has excellent externals but crappy green gas mags. I have read many positive reviews and negative reviews so I am sure I will drop it in the shopping cart when the UMP comes out (save a little in shipping). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 The WE externals wont be that bad. Also considering a few companies make after market bodys. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L2E Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Have you seen the soon to be released WE MP7...what an abomination! The fully traded AFC 416 is not anywhere close to the VFC 416 in terms of externals. I am a fanboy of none, just so you know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 do they make a replacement internal kit to make it awesome/reliable? Or maybe i should just wait for the WE version... I haven't purchased anything WE, because of the youtube videos that scared me way back when. Plus I was really tempted on the WE AK, but the crappy externals swayed me towards the GHK. But full travel, I'm afraid I have no choice.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The WE MP7 that has been displayed is a proof of concept only and WE have already stated that it is not going to be released in it's current form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From my research, the internals are good once you get the azimuth nozzle. The real problem is the magazine. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thepunisher Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I think WE's internal is getting better after their rough first run with their closed bolt system. Although not as solid as the KWA, WE is excused for their quality considering that the price is cheaper than the others. Good bang for the buck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yeah theres still alot of stigma attached to WEs CB system which bombed and thats what most people remember. The VFC MP5s internals are still made of cheese, even if you change the nozzle (which I went through 3 of btw, Azimuth..) It is just a shocking and unbelievable waste of money. If you want a wall hanger better off finding a De-Act. The magazine is just somthing else, totally retarded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I hear the CO2 mags are solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L2E Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 It is these night and day reports regarding the VFC MP5 that keeps me from getting one. I have read more than a dozen posts here and elsewhere saying that once you replace the nozzle the MP5 was solid, then I read the same amount of posts saying that it is complete garbage. I will probably end up getting one and get all C02 mags as I just can't resist how sexy the VFC is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Scroll back to I think page 3 or 4 you can see the extreme ware on the bolt from dodgy GG mags. Imagine what will happen with CO2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I still cant recommend that you get a VFC one. As much as I love mine, It really is a pain in the balls and wouldn't be worth the aggravation if I had to do it again. The amount of time I had to put into getting it functional was ridiculous, and even now it still doesnt work quite right and jams occasionally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SDU_Phil Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 The only things I replaced on my SD3 were the loading ramp (to the new 3 notche style) and the loading nozzle. This is hardly the pain and gun gutting that people are reportedly having to go through. I have not had an issue with cool down either. The only reason I needed to replace the loading ramp was because it was jamming with my new nozzle, eventually destroying it. the new version MP5's should have this loading ramp as standard so the only thing you'll need to replace is the nozzle.

Finbarqs Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Good news people, CWI is gonna be selling the MP5A2 Dx version!!!! hopefully this will make it skirmish-able and indestructable!!!! http://www.bbdragon.com.tw/product_info.php/products_id/3463 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
