dapprman Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) G2 has been out for a fair while - I got mine in HK in April and it was not new out in Europe/US then. You could always ask a retailer for pictures Edited November 22, 2014 by dapprman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Want a new GBBR for friends to shoot in the garden. Will probably go through a máximum of 2.000 rounds a year. 30-35º Celsius weather. I do NOT want to have to open any GBBR I buy. Should I get the GHK G5, WE 416 or WE G39K? Thanks!

Hanfritter Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 @chas: If you don't want to open any GBBR, you shouldn't buy any GBBR. GBBRs need love, they want to be taken care of.... If real firearms need to be lubricated and cleaned, why should a replica deserve anything else? Regarding the question, which one to pick, i'd say go for the G5. I had both, the G39 and the G5 and i personally like the G5 more. The G39 is a nice airsoft, but while firing it, it sounds more like tupperware(is that even a word in english?). Means it sounds much more like plastic, than the G5. Both will never sound as good, as a fullmetal GBBR, like the WE SCAR, or anything like that, but in exchange for that, you get much better cooldown-resistence with plastic, than with metal. So i would vote for the G5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well, being as I'm a gun hoe and can't keep my guns down. I picked up one of the GHK G5 again, had a 2013 long long ago, but have a 2014 version now. Just ordered a Hep - Charging handle, and some spare mag parts. Love the gun already, running an AEG buffer tube on it this time. - Had to polish the bottom of the bolt though, seems the welding job done was pretty bad on my bolt... A lot smoother now, but might keep going at it to get rid of the welding marks. Pictures to follow. ---- Also consider the G5 is light, and easy to maneuver with.. the parts are widely available @ WGC and super cheap. You state you don't want to "Open" up an gbbr, but you have to for maintenance.. else just get a pellet gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Real steel ranger plates fit. Hmm I tried, but I couldn't get them on? I will try again tonight, I think the lip part where I slide the ranger plates on was a bit thicker then the the pmag. Picked them up here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuey Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I can promise you there is no welding in your G5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would take GHK G5 any day of the year, I bet you would end up taking it to game and it being your primary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Improper wording.. Pics inbound later. Ranger plates worked.. Didn't try hard enoug lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I thought you mean PMAG Ranger isn't it...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I thought you mean PMAG Ranger isn't it...? At first it didn't work (Real Steel ranger plates on G5 PMAG), but then I tried again, I had to push a bit harder, but they worked on all three of my G5 magazine. They don't go in 100%, but they go in about 95% of the way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Welp, my M2 Ranger plates, lol. Was playing a game, guess I pulled them to fast the wrong way and "popped" went the plates, and my springe follower.. and black part... LOL. GG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glitchdj Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I know the G5 is the succesor of their PDW, but is the PDW still available anywhere? All I see is out of stock etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hopna Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Here you go: http://en.safarasoftair.com/ghk-kac-personal-defense-weapon I've got this one as well and I believe it's a Gen2 version with fixed hop-up. It's quite gas efficient, it makes a lot of noise and it kicks harder than my G&P M4A1 with steel bolt carrier, so I love it. Also, some spare parts can be bought here: http://fg-airsoft.com/en/5-parts-for-ghk-pdw If you order from Safarasoftair, keep in mind that it comes with a orange flashhider. It's a 14mm CCW if I remember correctly, so replacing it won't be a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gonna email 'em to ask what version it is before I buy because I'm looking for the 2013 adjustable hop up version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Just did a VSR mod to a G5, in response to G5 losing hop from green gas/lubrication use and a deformed hop lip. Works well, much better consistency than the stock rubber. FPS is around the same, 340fps on .25g at 22*C. Edited January 5, 2016 by 3vi1-D4n Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 That would be very nice, mind to share the "how-to" part? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately I didn't take pictures. Basically: 1) modify the GHK barrel to VSR type with a dremel and a metal cutting disc, from the AEG form into this: (you can use a lathe also, Or just buy a barrel) 2) Bore out the hop unit with a 10mm Milling bit and use your hands to bore it out(I used a drill bit but the GHK hop unit material is really flexible so I switched to a milling bit, I frequently use the 10mm bits for VSR conversions) 3) Using a 10mm dremel grinding bit, polish out the hop unit. 4) Cut off the side tab off the VSR hop rubber with a dremel and a grinding bit/cutting disk, making the hop rubber round. 5) Add the barrel retention tab onto barrel and put hop rubber onto barrel 6) Watching the alignment, push the barrel/hop rubber into hop unit, until the retention tab touches the barrel (if it doesn't fit easily, go back to step 3) 7) Check alignment of hop area to the hop nub window. If alignment has issues, remove the hop and barrel and repeat 6) 8) The VSR hop rubber forward portion is longer than the normal hop rubber, so the rubber that is stick out of the hop unit will need to be cut and grinded back to the plastic, using a dremel and a cutting disc. 9) Reassemble the hop unit. Set the hop to lowest and put the hop nub on. You will notice that the hop lever may be pushing down too much on some rubbers (Marui etc) but fine on flat hops. 10) if the hop is pushing down to much, take the hop lever apart and file the rear part down (the round surface that sits over the hop dial). Reassemble hop unit and test again. 11) Reassemble the gun, test fire at range (50m) set hop up and zero the gun. And you should be done. Because I have cut the VSR hop rubber about 3mm back, its no longer a true VSR hop rubber and can no longer be used on a VSR or a Marui pistol etc, but since it retains the advantages of the VSR hop and has a fantastic seal to the bolt, it is well worth it. We were getting out to 60m with the VSR hop. TBH the Stock hop was not bad either, but small amounts of lubricants and water would affect its accuracy, which the VSR hop is a bit more tolerant of. As I was saying the reason we did this was because the GHK hop rubber lip decided to flip inwards for no reason and jams BBs and negatively affects FPS even though taking it apart there was no reason why that was to happen. Wish i could do the same thing to AEGs...airseal issues plague my JG G3 to no end and VSR hops are much more accepting of movement and tolerance issues.

Katotaka Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Seems very doable for me, VSR hop is very tempting, saw too many G5s flip their rubber and normal AEG rubber don't fit too well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 http://www.socomtactical.net/bloguploads/ghk-g5-exploded-diagram.jpg So you mainly do modifications to G5-06 right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hmm. If there's enough interest, I could see about getting a G5 nozzle and hop-up unit from Samoon so I could design a 3d-printed ereplacement which takes VSR hop-ups and rubbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 GBL released two chambers for the GHK AK / M4 to use VSR10 bucking and inner. Maybe they'll make one for G5 soon too?

DarkLite Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Those rubbers don't look like TM spec, at least with the locating nub on the side. Nice designs though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Yes its G5-06. Finally GHK answered the call. Unfortunately I like my WE M16A1 too much to ditch it for another M4 GBB... Edited January 6, 2016 by 3vi1-D4n Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Not for that price. I'll ghop the ghk before I spend that much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I am sure it should be pretty simple to VSR hop the existing GHK M4 unit if the G5 wasn't "much" work. I just need a guinea pig (looking at my friends' GHKs) Most work was ensuring the VSR hop rubber fitted into the bored out hop unit as when I used a drill, it enlarged the material temporarily but shrink as soon as the drill was removed. Never had that issue on the VFC MP5s or M4s when I did this mod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
