MeatShield0123 Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Can it use TM magazines? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan74 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Not sure if I mentioned it here (I know I've said it on the airsoft atlanta blog millions of times) but it will work with EVERYTHING marui will. If you are buying something for it, just think of it as a marui. The clamps look like they should be able to come off they arent glued to the mags or anything. Looks like you just need too take off a few screws then you can put it on other mags. Just looked at a pic of a marui clamp, and they look the same. I'm going out in a few minutes, so I don't think i'll have time now, but I will try to get gearbox pics as soon as I get back. I can't compare it to a tm gearbox cause I don't have it with me, but i'll try to find a pic of a marui ver 2 gearbox so you can compare them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Is there anywhere in the UK that sells these, or any retailer that will ship to the UK? Seems like a good way to get into airsoft, and if it's as good quality as the TM guns, then I'm laughing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan74 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Like an airsoft gun . Anyway, I'll get some accuracy tests when I get home on Tuesday. I'll be getting home late monday and probably won't have enough time. It'll be dark too, and the lighting in my yard is horrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nightwalker Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi! Â I am from the Mainland Europe, Hungary. Any news when it will be available in the EU? I heard there is an export ban in the US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrewLawson Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 What is the FPS, Range, and accuracy compared to a TM MP5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingcodez Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Ban? No ban that I've heard of. Check the usual UK sites or just order from the US. Redwolf or some other HK site should have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seth Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) I'd definitely buy this as a low FPS CQB gun and plinker if its 90 dollars AND has DECENT quality. I have no intention on upgrading of course, as I only upgrade my gas guns, but I think we'd really like some chrono results, accuracy tests and reliability measures soon....

BOEL Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Are there much differences between TM and these new AEG??? I´m wondering about it but I´m not still sure... Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippiehater44 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 great review jordan74 i will probably be looking into this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seth Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Airsoft Atlanta says the UTG is a Marui clone with a Version 2 Gearbox, 250 FPS stock with .2 KSC BBs, and takes all Marui MP5 upgrades and magazines. The gears are also metal, not plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Redwolf or some other HK site should have it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No HK retailer has it yet. From the US it'd be the same as if I'd order a TM from HK... I'll check the UK retailers but no one on this forum has reported any appearance on the British Isles... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At such a low price it sounds like I might have to pick one of these up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BOEL Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Seems to be interesting those FPS are the same that performs my TM UZI, so it may be a nice chance to adquire one of those UTG for my Spanish IM uniform... Â Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lacroixpamplemousse Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) Airsoft Atlanta was having a sale, $79 for the gun and $7.99 shipping. Guess you guys missed out, one day only. Luckily I was able to pick mine up during that time period  http://airsoftatlanta.blogspot.com/ Lol, they got in trouble for the low price.

vengecore Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) Note to everyone! Â do not take the selector switch off, It will not fit on again properly. Â see, it takes a set screw to hold it in place with the rod that is connected to the other side and passes through the gun. that screw is stripped on mine is won't get any tighter. at least not enough to securely fasten the 2 pieces together. Â anybody got a remedy? Â Â Hey Jason! whats the deal with the mags? how do you know when to stop winding? It seems like it can't load BBs in to the chamber fast enough. its only spurts out few at a time. Edited September 6, 2005 by vengecore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Apparently UTG is going to release an AK47 clone around Christmas time. Maybe I'll just save up for that instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan74 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Okay, I was pretty busy with school work today so sorry I didn't get the accuracy done. I'll get it tomarrow, probably won't have alot of homework. Â ...Hey Call! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lacroixpamplemousse Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Airsoft atlanta is really on the ball, thats why I order from them . Can't wait untill they open Airsoft Knoxville, then I can finally order stufef in state, it will only take like 2 days to ship . Â My mp5 is currently in transit.

BigT6000009 Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 So I get home from school today (thinking about my mp5 all day) and then, on my doorstep I see...nothing . I wait around till about 5:00, then I go to my garage to get a drink. There it is, right in my garage. So I get inside and open it up. Stand around for awhile looking at everything it comes with. Once I realize that I'm just wasting time, I start charging the battery. Now, to fool around with the gun. I'm picking up everything (gun has nice weight, supposed to be .25 pound lighter than marui, but I dont have a marui mp5 so I wouldn't know) The build quality is really nice, doesn't feel like that horrible springer plastic. The grip/lower reciever, and some other parts feel nicer than the plastic on my tm ak47 spetz. The rest of the gun feels about the same. The rear sight has the 4 adjustable rear sight settings. For anyone who doesnt have an mp5, you probably already know the "ghost ring" (the one thats O shaped). There are two of those,one is bigger or smaller. There two settings that are pretty much like the O shaped ones, but they extend up to the top, there is a skinny one and a not skinny one. I've hk slapped it a few times (locking the bolt back then hitting it down so it flies foreward) Doesn't seem to do anthing bad, but its not my fault if yours breaks  . The battery is in the foregrip, I'll probably mod it to the back and use the full stock, or get a battery pack and just strap it to the gun/rectractable stock. I personally don't like batteries in the foregrip, simply because I'm bad at changing them . It's got an ambidextrous (pretty sure thats the word...) selector switch. Let me say that a very light tap will get it from safe to single, and it clicks into that well, but it isnt hard at all to get it on full auto. I put in the battery and started to shoot it. Wow, Very nice. Hop up is a little switch that sticks out of the foregrip. Easy to access (unlike my ak where you have to hold the bolt back) and easy to adjust. It doesn't sound as good as my spetz, But it sounds really nice. More on the shooting later... I noticed that the mag release was kinda hard, but it's starting to loosen up after a few minutes of just pushing it over and over again. I really like how this gun looks. I never really cared much for mp5s (didn't hate them , just didn't really like them) besides the k, but this has changed my mind. I'm having trouble rectracting the stock, didn't understand the directions. Any help? When I picked up the solid stock, I noticed it was heavy, and there was something in there. I was confused, so i took off the butt plate to see what it was. Something wrapped in tape, it was the shape of those gold bars you see in movies/tv/whatever. I jokingly said to my mom "hey, I guess I win a gold prize for being a special customer", and sure enough, REAL GOLD!!!ONEONEONE+SHIFT, MY PARENTS DONT WIN THE LOTTERY, I DO! Wait, thats not gold...thats....cement? Yes, cement in my stock. Need more weight...get cement blocks? Hmmmmm Now shooting it...Put the battery in (took me forever cause i'm bad with mp5/m4 foregrip batteries, and probably any other foregrip battery out there) started shooting. The joy of shooting a new aeg...priceless. Very easy to tell when its out, you won't be shootin blanks and not realizing it, unless you couldn't hear it. All of a sudden i hear a noise. It's almost like...shooting with nothing moving inside. Uh-oh...grinded gears already? So i put the battery back in and it turns out it was just dead. I couldnt wait long enough to shoot more than 5 minutes  . Shots don't go through the bottom of a can, but in the side of one it will either go through one end and dent the other, or bounce off the side, but still put a hole in it. Well, I'm gonna go take some pics...turns out i am going to florida, so i'll take the pics then upload them on my grandparents computer and finish the rest of the review. Sorry I couldn't get pics on here yet...Lots of big pictures to come tommarow, and more about the gun. If you have any questions just ask and I will answer them tommarow. I'm gonna bring my mp5 to florida (my new travel aeg ) so i'll be able to take more pics and stuff like that. Thats all for now... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
