 Great Gun! February 13, 2007
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
This gun is really cool! It has decent aim, great fire power, and the charge lasts a long time. The only thing i find a little usettling is the fact that the clip only holds about 20 bb's at a time, but hey, you can't have everything. Anyways, great buy!
Great gun (Teen's review) February 3, 2007

When i got this gun it looked really cool. The assembaly is easy, but the laser scope thing is the only thing hard to assemble. I tried it and i would say it had 200+ FPS. The only thing bad about this gun is that it takes some time to reload the magazine. Also the gun says it comes w/ a flashlight. It doesn't have it. Also, if you're looking for a good size gun, this would b good 4 u. Also IT'S ALOT OF FUN DUDE!

This gun has a pretty high rate of fire, and as long as you give the magazine a good shove when you put it in, then you won't have any bb's jam. This gun is worth every penny (but not much more than that). it is great for indoor battles or small scale outdoor battles. The hop-up is very effective and the gun can take any type of bb you put in there. To truly get the best effect from the hop-up, though, you should probably use high-polished .12 gram bb's.
Excellent Starter Weapon, However, Cheap in Execution January 30, 2007

I've been doing air soft parties with my Air Force buddies for quite some time so I get to try out a diverse selection of air soft weapons from the cheapo single-shot handguns to the full-auto SAW weapons. The CYMA MP5 was a cheap alternative to purchasing over $100 rifles since you are then entering the price range of real rifles that I find more fun to shoot.
The CYMA MP5 did not take all that long to charge and depsite constant target practice (and constant harassment to my unsuspecting neighbors when they're not looking) and outside usage I have yet worn down the battery to necessitate a recharge. Despite prior reviews I have yet to experience a problem with the stock 30-round magazine; the drum however, not quite so successful.
As for the power, it's 200+ FPS may not seem like much but that may indicate your battery is low. I 'tested' the FPS out on my unsuspecting brother from 20 feet away and the lasting whelps on his arms suggest a rather unpleasant that WILL get your attention; for this reason I strongly suggest taking safety precautions to avoid injury. The rate of fire is consistant, but with any full-auto weapon it is vital to realize there is a difference between sustained fire and continuous fire. Since air soft guns cannot easily be tweaked to lower the firing rate full-auto airsoft guns are prone to jam unless CO2 powered due to the firing mechanism.
It is vital to understand that you cannot, and should not, just go Rambo and unload like there's no tomorrow. You run the risk of throwing the firing mechanism out of whack and then you have a busted weapon. 2-3 round bursts are the way of the day even when conducting supressive fire. BEAR THIS IN MIND when using the CYMA MP5, especially if you're purchasing this for a younger user that may not be familiar with close combat beyond Counter-Strike.
Now, to name some cons; this weapon is cheaply made. The scope cannot be accurately mounted unless mine came broken. It seems to makeshift snap on to the upper receiver and easily wabbles. I compensated by screwing in (with a power tool) a weaver rail and mounted one of my actual red dot scopes. Now it's semi-accurate up to 30 yards. My flash light attachment simply does not work and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to work. Oh well, never gonna use the thing anyway. Many people have noted the weapon is prone to jam on the first round and this is true and there's a way to prevent it; pull the cocking hammer back and then slap in the magazine. Once in, slap down the hammer or you can insert the magazine then pull and release the cocking hammer.
Sometimes the full-auto also jams on the first shot. To get around this I switched to single-shot, fired, then switched back to full auto since it already primed the next shot. Then there's the instructions... written VERY poorly. I've read garage door opener manuals with better translations. It's almost to the point where I have to read the instructions soley from the pictures.
Other than this, it's a good cheap starter weapon for younger, or novice shooters. It's also a great product to teach new shooters firearm safety since the basic safety principles still apply (finger off trigger, point in same direction etc). There are better alternatives for more advanced players but this one is good for beginners and those (like me) that just want a beater.
 You get what you pay for, not much. January 28, 2007

I recieved this gun about a week ago and couldn't wait for it to arrive. It managed to arrive one day early because I live close to it's store in California. When I recieved it I couldn't figure out why I could not mount the scope. It was broken. Next I tried to read the instructions which are total crap because they are awfully written. I started to shoot it and every time I wanted to use the larger clip I had to jam it into the socket every time it stopped shooting, which was quite often.
Next I had my sister shoot me with it from about 10 feet away and didn't even feel it when the BB's hit in a T-shirt. Plus, aftera while of shooting the semi-automatic started to fail and it would only shoot automatic. Lastly, in it's first CQB the strap fell completely off.
Here are the main good's and bad's of this gun.
Good:
-relatively cheap
-lays down a lot of BB's in a short amount of time.
-collapsable stock is nice.
-relativly accuracte at close range
Bad:
-Clips either tiny or worthless because it won't stay in the gun.
-extremely weak
-accesories may come broken.
-insructions awful.
-low battery life.
-fire settings jam/don't work
