bankz5152 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 If your new to GBBRs then this isnt for you. Then again i do dispise VFC with all my heart, I would personally spend less cash on somthing cheaper and easier to work on. See if you enjoy the GBBR world then move up. I will however be buying the WE version which im sure will be much better (not to mention cheaper) out the box. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honzo Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Not new to GBBRs, i've been through we, G&P WOCs, KWA lm4 (two actually) and the marui mp7 gbb. Wouldnt say i'm an expert but somewhat competent. I'm just wondering how flawed the design (if applicable) of the vfc mp5 and if it's worth it to purchase! thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

3vi1-D4n Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Does anyone have the website URL that compares RS MP5 with VFC MP5? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thepunisher Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I waited 3 damn years for WE MP5.. false promise after false promise, test videos after test videos, and I eventually fed up and bought a vfc mp5. And just days after it arriving, WE announced that the mp5k is available for order, and the the rest of mp5 family may follow suit. Damn it, really.. the vfc mp5 is now sitting and waiting for the longevity mod parts: azimuth bolt guide and crusader feed ramp. I can see how the bolt's side to side play can really cause the nozzle to slam at the mag's fake-feedlips. I dont dare shooting it without the bolt guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honzo Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Has anyone see these videos? It's about making a skirmish worthy VFC mp5. To summarize quickly, he added bolt guides to reduce play from side to side in the bolt which leads to less broken nozzles, misfeeds, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7TqQPcSd2o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faOOeo65uek Thoughts? Has anyone tried this and found great success with it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone tried this and found great success with it? Yes, and the person who shared that video is here in this topic too.. Vfc mp5 only need bolt guide, reinforced loading nozzle, and new feed ramp from crusader and you're good to go upgrade if necessary: new hi-performance valve, new copper cylinder, and hopup rubber. My mp5 never failed in skirmish although it is more likely to go on burst than single shot.. And 1 more thing, dont forget to rack up the charging handle before inserting new magazine.

thepunisher Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Is anybody experiencing a wobble, 0.5cm back and forth play on the cocking handle (in closed bolt position)? And if u do, what did u do to fix it? On the mp5sd3, does the plastic front grip supposed to wobble as it clamps freely on the tube? Thanks Edited November 21, 2013 by thepunisher Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L2E Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I will add that my MP5 has started to burst in in semi auto. However, there is a fix for it and it involves gluing thin layers of metal (coke can thin) in the selector trough. For me it took three layers of coke can metal to have semi auto run properly again. Unfortunately, I just used super glue so it eventually came off. The permanent fix should be to jb weld (epoxy) to the selector trough, let it cure, sand it down to correct height all while constantly testing the fit. Also, all VFC MP5 owners should do the VSR bucking modification as it drastically increases the range and couple it with a quality inner barrel for great accuracy.

Frexion Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 My right navy selector keep loosen off about 2-3 mm Anyone have experienced with this? if yes, how to fix it? thanks before.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 this probably will eventually get a thread of it's own, but http://www.crw-airsoft.com/mp5k-gbb-by-we-9189-p.asp WE MP5K! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freon Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I was cured of VFC after buying their MK18 mod 1 and having the bolt carrier break after less than 2000 rounds. Then having the single-fire mechanism fail after 2k rounds, followed by the breakage of their "reinforced" bcg in less than 1k rounds. Will not buy VFC, even if you paid me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

3vi1-D4n Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 My right navy selector keep loosen off about 2-3 mm IMG_00000294.jpg Anyone have experienced with this? if yes, how to fix it? thanks before.. I fixed it by: - Shortening the selector shaft by 0.5mm and the sides also with a hand file. This allows the selector to sit closer to the body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Anyone find that their MP5 shoots to the left on iron sights? Both mine and my mates MP5s shoot way off the sight picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) OK, lemme guess, no one really uses their iron sights with their airsoft guns... Edited March 20, 2014 by 3vi1-D4n Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Studie Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Anyone find that their MP5 shoots to the left on iron sights? Both mine and my mates MP5s shoot way off the sight picture. The VFC Hop up is trash, I redone the whole thing with VSR10 fixed everything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 The hop IS rubbish but I find that its actually the top cocking tube is bent left, rotating the front sight to the right. After a few hours with a hammer i finally got the front sight straight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Someone mentioned a vsr-10 bucking mod. Any more information on that? Mine needs a new hop now so I figure I might as well go for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I did a flat hop mod on the default VFC hop rubber, and added a more conventional depression nub, that seems to have made the hop a bit more consistent. Yes where is the VSR hop unit for an MP5? That would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tisane Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) It's a modification of the standard hop unit. I believe Nugentgl has a video on YouTube explaining how to do the actual modification, but it is really simple and gives FAR FAR better hop effect and range than the *suitcasey* standard VFC hop rubber. It is a permanent/non reversible mod however so personally I'd go for grabbing a new hop unit on standby in case something goes wrong or you want to revert back to standard for whatever reason. All you will need is X1 hop unit (just incase) X1 VSR type hop rubber of your choice, I use Maple Leaf diamond 70 degree. X1 Maple Leaf hop tensioner. X1 new inner barrel (possibly) I say possibly for the inner barrel because one of mine needed changing and one didn't, but I changed both of mine for VFC Psalm inner barrels anyway. Although he's doing it for another VFC gun, the mod is exactly the same for the MP5 range. Edited March 24, 2014 by Tisane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vilerk Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I find it also helps to put a section of 40S&W brass over the exposed end to give it a little more stability. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
