So I’ve been posting here about my love of the mp5 for years. I bombard you with videos. I know, I know, it’s the same shit over and over.

But I love these guns, and figure I’ll share them working so well with others who also enjoy the platform.

Only recently did I start to share these videos on instagram. To my amazement, IG likes these things WAAAAYYYY more than reddit.

But what really blows my mind is that mp5 content gets substantially less interest and viewership than something like a mk18 or car15.

I get that an sbr 556 and car15 look really cool, but do you really suppose the gun community doesn’t realize just how incredibly the mp5 shoots?

Some stupid video of shooting the mk18 for 4 magazines gets 10 times the attention of the absolute peak of firearms shooting experience - the mp5sd.

Has the larger community bought into the fud-lore about how old and dated the mp5 is? Are mp5’s not cool anymore?

I mean, I’ll put my AR lower mp5’s up against ANYTHING. The lack of last round bolt hold open is a tiny cost for the otherwise otherworldly shooting experience.

What are your thoughts?

Absolutely love my AP5-P, the only thing I’m not satisfied with is the can. It’s an OCL lithium 9. It sounds good but it just has a lot of back pressure and gasses me out even in semi out doors. I got it right before the milkman came out, I wish the timing was better. I’d also liked to have known about the incolite 9m. Not being satisfied, how would you proceed?

Edit: Maybe I should specify, would it be worth selling the lithium? I don’t really have any other hosts to put it on

Edit 2: Been running the 90deg LP for a while

I purchased my SP5 back in Spring. Only now I’ve finally gathered all the parts I wanted and finished the setup. The B&T stock rail can’t retract all the way in because the KAC picatinny handguard rail extends too far back. Maybe I need to grab the A3 stock to complete the setup. Never ends…

I’m looking to buy my first suppressor but not sure what to pick. Looking for a clean and flush look but not wanting to sacrifice on sound really. I’ve heard good things about the omega 9k, dead air wolfman, and the lithium 9. That’s kind of the look I’m going for

Here’s my AP5. Honestly, no regrets so far about not purchasing an actual HK. I’ve been enjoying my clone a lot. However, I’ve never actually held a real HK, so I can’t really compare the two.

For AP5, AP5-P, AP5-M, AP5-N, etc. Count all issues, including resolved ones. If you've owned multiple, report your worst-performing example.

Realistically how bad would it be to buy a rare greed trigger? I’m tired of the constant waiting for AS designs to put it out (and I do like the way the rare breed selector looks) but I also know that RB is a shitty company. Would it really be that bad to buy from RB at this point considering they’re currently the only one selling a drop in frt?

Looking for KES Mp5k stock, been checking online almost everyday for months and just found out they restocked 10/23/26 at 12pm and was sold out almost immediately.

I'm looking for a good but not super expensive compact light for my ap5. Any brands yall could suggest? I imagine with it having to mount so close to the barrel heat resistance is a big factor so, I haven't bothered with some lights i have laying around.

Does a pre-made sling like this exist: has an HK hook on one end, QD on the other? I'm sure I could buy a sling and two different sets of hardware to make it myself, but I'd love to make just one purchase.

Yes, I know this is weird - I have the eyelet at the front and my Magpul stock has the QD point since I'm not 100 percent sold on that stock.

After about ten times trying to login I finally do and can’t check out because some error on their website. Why do they even bother with the US website if it doesn’t ever work?

For MAC-5 and MAC-5K variants. Count all issues, including resolved ones. If you've owned multiple, report your worst-performing example.

For PTR 9CT, 9KT, 9C, 9R, etc. Count all issues, including resolved ones. If you've owned multiple, report your worst-performing example.

For factory HK SP5 and SP5K variants. Count all issues, including resolved ones. If you've owned multiple, report your worst-performing example.
