I Love your Reviews and the Intro....., for that you earned the youtube Oscar. just awesome! We are still waiting for V2 here in Germany :-( Very nice details with the markings. Even the German proof mark from Ulm (antler pole) is included! That would be forbidden on an Airsoft in Germany (forgery). the possibility to shoot a GBB in FA ... also a no go. :-D Thank you for your review and have a nice Christmas time.
Haha, danke mein freund. I'm glad to hear you liked my video. The markings are incredible! I think you would love the V2, they need to hurry up and make the SA version for you. Merry Christmas to you too :-)
Thanks bud, really appreciate it! I’m cool with the amount I have now to be honest. Not everyone likes gas guns I suppose and I don’t upload on a consistent basis.
It’s probably better to choose one in the meantime, the comparison won’t be showing up for a while yet. I’ve got a few videos that are coming before it.
Hey BadaBing! You are pure evil! Making us wait for the comparison :D What I wanted to add is that I have a TM MP7, the first time I took it out to a game that stretched into the late night I didn't even realize how cold the spring night was until I sat down in the base to eat something. The MP7 didn't slow down at all. At least during normal use, I'm not a trigger happy guy. At the end of the game we did some tracer magdumps, because it looks cool and only one of the mags couldn't dump the last 2 rounds. So my point is that it can be done even with slim & long SMG mags if you put your back into it.
Thanks buddy. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are bad. Also sometimes they don’t finish their products correctly and they leave it to the consumer to fix it. I don’t put much faith in VFC.
And here we go again, another sleek review of a very sleek classic. And it even hit the Christmas theme with the Die Hard reference. (Love your dedication to make it as... well... immersive, as it gets. 😅) However, as beautiful as it is, the wobbly stock and most importantly the unrealistic boltstop are a huge red flag to me. I am looking very forward to the upcoming comparison to the WE Mp5. 🙂 Merry Christmas from Bavaria. 🌲
Great Review & presentation. The biggest problem with this platform is that for the most part, it was already done! I find When VFC uses surplus parts to make a "new" gun, they cut corners, unlike the G3 that was entirely new, and thus far less flawed. I think the VFC FAL will be just as good as the G3, slightly better even because of overall build quality, taking the edge because it ships with a steel outer barrel! I find the best part of the A5 is the trigger pack, being pretty much as real as it gets (with the exception of two springs), down to the trigger you don't like, which funny enough, was the same complaint Garand Thumb had about the real A5. Kudos to you for being able to disassemble it, an ill-advised feat for most. The worst being the front end. This is realized whenever you unscrew and screw on the tri-lug adapter, and inadvertently unscrew the barrel! A fixed stock would alleviate your wobbly stock woes as you mentioned. If you go with a real stock, make sure it's polymer so it flexes better, the receiver isn't 1:1 so stocks with metal end plates require filing. I was able to fit a B&T folding stock, but the rear pin becomes very tight! Worth it! All in all, still a great buy as you said, despite flaws VFC could've easily addressed IMO.
Thanks bud. Yeah, real fixed stocks are affordable so that’s an intriguing option. Oh I haven’t stripped down the trigger pack. Not yet. While everything still works, I’ll leave it alone. Their upcoming PSG-1 is sooo tempting.
@@BadaBingPictures that PSG-1 definitely looks like a good buy. I love their stamped steel rifles, especially since they tend to be the best bang for the buck, just as the real counterparts were intended.
Well BB, you have truly pulled out the stops in this production, the dummy in the lift, the attention to detail in replicating the "best Xmas movie ever", it's all there, even done to the vest lol. Great review, and it's good to see VFC getting a lot right with this one, but ahhh, that wobbly stock, I mean, what the hell, I've always said it, if you can build this, to what is, for a airsoft GBB, a reasonable and acceptable looking performing model, why oh why, do you let it down with the utterly unacceptable stock, it amazes me, always that VFC, get so much right, but falls down on the simpler points..... Well, thanks for the share BB, although, I guess it's 2020, we shouldn't expect too much, and to be fair, I loved the video, the review, the attention to detail to the original movie, it was a blast. However Bing, the coffee dunking, yes we know it's to down to the original movie, but, nothing will ever replace the toblerone.....

I thought I would make this one a little special. Set it up nicely with props and filming on location, a kind of guerrilla style of film making haha. I got odd looks indeed! Thanks for watching, and great to see you back in the comments section. Indeed, they got a lot right with this. Looks like I'll have to pick up a real A2 stock, at least that has a better chance of being stable. Oh absolutely, nothing will replace the Toblerone! Merry Christmas to you too, all the very best to you and yours for 2021.
I took the bait and bought one from the first batch back in May. Then a mother later I sold it. I had problems with constant shattering of BBs and single shot mode shooting 3 BBs.
Sorry to hear your problems with the A5. That’s the thing with companies like VFC. You can’t really put much faith in any review, sometimes it depends what arrives at your door.
@@TehSnake586 ...fits. The receivers haven’t changed. But contact customer service to verify. The V2 bolt group fits the V1 as well, just like the v2 magazines fit. You’d just have to purchase a complete V2 barrel and hop up assembly.
VFC is so realistic and sturdy that here in the US, we use VFC retractable buttstock on our real MP5/SP5 instead of the real HK one because the real HK one cost $1399 a piece. You heard right. $1399 just for the HK buttstock.
Its a royal pain in the arse, is what it is. Hahah! 4 Weekends getting the outdoor shots. A couple of weeks juggling desktop filming with work/life/Xmas. 10 days cutting it all together and a couple of days looking for gremlins/final rendering. Writing and in most cases re-writing throughout the entire duration. I'm sure there are easier ways to go about it, but we can't have that now can we? ;-) Cheers for watching, bro
Awesome video as always dude! The VFC MP5 seems to be pretty rock solid, aside from the stock. But luckily it looks like it can accept real stocks and what not, so that’d be cool to be able to buy a real A3 stock for it. The WE one however might be easier for me to obtain due to the ATF banning the VFC one from the US 😔💔 oh well, I’ll figure out which one I want by the time it comes to purchase one.
An atf ban for the vfc? I hadn't heard anything about this. Do you have a source article or are you assuming that's the case due to difficulty with customs? I guess I'm curious as to whether there's anything in writing because I couldn't find any specific decisions posted anywhere.
@@zacharygraham809 All I know is that Elite Force was told that the ATF won’t allow VFC shit to ship to the US. But that won’t stop me from trying to import one lol
@@WolfMan-nf4lv theres have been people Who gotten vfc gbbs into the states here, such as wayward airsoft got a mp5k and a friend of jetdesert Fox with a PSG1, which both are bought from redwolf airsoft
Another fantastic video, I do have a soft spot for the MP5 I've owned 2 aeg ones in the past but gbbr are definitely the best, shame it's not officially available over here but the WE is 🤔
I have this gun and hk416 long barrel. Side arm WE Glock 18c with some upgrades. use stealth Tactical Elite 0.25g BBs and nuprol green gas. Both good brands for reliability and build quality
And he dunks his Twinkies..., Good Man!!! Do you use a mag pouch for your MP5 mags if so what brand / model# ? I'm asking because I was let down by the Condor brand MP5 triple mag pouch. I can just barely get a single finger in those spaces but the VFC Umarex Elite Force MP5 mags are a no go in those spaces. I have a Condor Double AK/AR mag pouch that works perfect for 8 metal airsoft MP5 mags so that ones a keeper but the MP5 pouch is going back after Christmas. :(
@BadaBingPictures how is your VFC MP5A5 GEN 2 doing so far? besides the cocking tube breaking? Any upgrades? I am now debating between this and the WE TECH 36c......price is a concern but......i like them both and its so damn hard and ive watched several reviews on both.....i like to go full auto and the g36c is powerful for an airsoft gun.....but you did mention this MP5's weakness, so to speak, is full auto yes? Can you upgrade it with stronger recoil springs to make it faster? Sorry for all the questions I am a newb with SMG/GBBR I only own 2 WE TECH G17 glocks. However....I had told you I had a bad first impression with VFC as both my mags were leaking out of the box and I fully disassembled them and tightened them and its leaking more......I cannot make a decision. What would you do? I know I know you and I are exactly the same when it comes to the MP5 - it is the king of all firearms IMO......it would be my go to in real life lol....
I made a 2-year review a few months ago, nothings changed since then. I don’t bother with upgrades, the MP5 is good enough as it is. You don’t need them. The WE G36 is great too. Quite old these days, but it’s still a GBBR system which has a lot of value in it. Plus, it performs amazing as standard. Good hard recoil. While these GBB’s can run on fully automatic, it’s not recommended for skirmishing as you’ll be emptying your magazines very quickly. 30rds will not last long! And then there’s cool-down to contend with, depending on your local climate. They’re not meant to be treated like AEG’s where you spray and pray. Generally you should be using the best bbs you can afford in GBB’s, as cheap bbs will likely break apart in the action. 0.30g or heavier will achieve compressed groupings, so it gets expensive when you decide to rip up the air with automatic fire. Check out Explosive Enterprises for his amazing VFC MP5 review. And the excellent guides. th-cam.com/video/p_4PWj-w9R8/w-d-xo.html
@@BadaBingPictures you are awesome brother seriously. PS I take it you're somewhere in England? I have some family who live in Essex! I'm in the USA though. But yeah ugh I am very disappointed with my VFC HK416A5 Gen 3. You have no idea - for spending over $600 for this realistic replica + additional mag.... but I did hear the Vmags work better. They look very impressive based on what I've seen in TH-cam! As far as VFC MP5 GEN 2 vs WE TECH G36C - this is a very hard decision. G36c + 3 additional mags is just over $400! THAT IS A GREAT DEAL for a GBBR! I know I'll have a blast with it I can tell. However, there's the gorgeous VFC MP5A5 gen 2 which is similar to the PS5 in the sense that it is sold out frequently but.... the SMG + 1 additional mag will cost me $650+.... it's so hard to decide. Does the MP5A5 Gen 2 have enough spare parts yet in case things fail? The cooking tube isn't my concern that's simple. But yeah idk what to do. I wanna just friggin just use a full auto or 3rd burst to steam off on stressful days lol. Not even to go into the field lol. Lemme know what you think!
@@grayman1 Ah right, yeah that’s South Eastern England. I’m South West, South Gloucestershire. They have the latest version VMAG which is supposed to be decent. I’ve actually ordered one just to see what it’s like in my Viper Tech 416. It’s a tough decision as I love both of them. Depends if you want a rifle or Sub Machine Gun. The G36 is a great GBBR, and you could buy a separate upper to build a K or even a full sized G36. So you can have one platform for indoors and another for outdoors. They are also easy to work on and learn the craft of GBBR’s. The magazines though are a pain in the ass because you’d really need G36 mag pouches, or 7.62 ones. They are very chunky. The plastic shell is quite brittle as well, so you’d have to be gentle with them. Good thing is, the system is cheap and spares are plentiful. VFC MP5 spares can be found but mainly in Asia. Either direct from VFC or WGC, Pro Act etc.. 3rd party support is picking up too. The MP5 is a little bit better when you consider it’s construction. So it’s real gun / replica vibes hits much much harder than the G36. Not saying the G36 looks and feels like a toy, because it’s surprisingly rigid. But elements of the rifle look off when you compare it visually to the real G36. Or VFC’s more authentic looking Version 2 G36. I know nothing of their G36 though. It’s quite rare.
@BadaBingPictures wait where did you order your VMAGs, and was it recently? I cannot for the life of me find one that's not overpriced if it's not sold out already everywhere I look!!! 😡 Also , I JUST literally purchased the VFC MP5A5 V2 + 2 Gen 2 MAGS. I am hoping and praying I have zero issues. Especially I hope there are no issues with any of the 3 mags in total. Check out this link that baffled me - this is a first I've seen. Did you ever see this issue on the VFC MP5A5?
Hey sorry it wouldnt lemme edit my reply so I had to add it here. Here is a short clip I found on the VFC MP5A5 Gen 2 - th-cam.com/users/shortsbNem99E5NXI You ever see anything like this? He claims he cannot figure out what is causing it to go full auto on semi auto.....strange.....
YIPPIE KI YAY SCHWEINEBACKE! Well, you problably won't know about that last word but trust me, it's pure nostalgia. I upgraded my WE MP5SD6 with real HK parts. Sights, Stock, Charging handle and Cocking tube fore Charging handle. All steel. ALL STEEL. You need this bro, it's the only pieces missing your MP5. Also, those pieces aren't as expensive as you might think. I can hit you up with some links. Merry Christmas Schweinebacke. 🎄❄️🤙
I am not familiar with that word. I do not have a German tongue. Only French 😂 Thanks bro. Yes, I thought about buying some real HK parts for this MP5. It’ll be awesome. Perhaps even a VFC SEF Lower and SA/FA trigger pack. 3rd burst isn’t required. Links would be great! Merry Christmas to you too, mein freund.
@@BadaBingPictures I don't need burst either, but it's forbidden here anyway. www.zib-militaria.de/epages/61431412.mobile/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61431412/Categories/Pre_Neulistungen/MP5 dekowaffen-tuerk.com/WebShopDekoWa/product_info.php?info=p1264_original-hk-mp5-schulterstuetze-neu.html 10 pages to scroll through. :)
It’s so annoying. The VFC end cap on this moves around when it’s fixed to the receiver, something I haven’t seen. The WE A3 has a stiff connection to the receiver.
Mr Jon, nice to see you again. Thanks! Unfortunately no. Unless you use the older style bb follower that doesn’t interrupt the bolt travel. But it’ll dry fire… There’s not a lot of space on the magazine to incorporate a valve block or something similar to their G3. In the future they might be able to make something. In the meantime it is what it is.
Tough call. WE would be a wise choice. 45rd capacity is superior for the field. However the VFC MP5 has a lot going for it. I don't think I could round it off in a YT comment, there isn't enough room.
@@BadaBingPictures so maybe WE is better for skirmish, while VFC is better for its build quality? I'm more concerned about gaming performance and barrel/hop upgrade so I can compete with those AEGs indoor 😁
As w/ most GBB rifles/pistols/submachineguns Accuracy is average to awful out of the box. That's why I installed Maple Leaf Autobot hop up rubber w/ Maple Leaf Crazy Jet barrel 6.04 in everything.
@@neuzdost1939 lol !!!even in this video you can hear the gun is slugish!the first gen mp5 was trash , their m4 gbbrs are trash with bolt carrier problems, even after so many years !i dont say that we are perfect !but their glocks and their we apache mp5 are very very good!hope this helped
I work in Comms. I produce the ‘Breakfast Club’ on our local radio network. Also every a month the Midnight shift with ‘Late Night Love’. I take calls from love sick individuals looking for advice. I’m like Frasier Crane, but better.
@@BadaBingPictures I'm afraid not. Semi auto in rifles is only allowed in 22lr or 22 magnum calibres. But it functions the same as the 9mm version. You need to.do the hk slap to chamber a round etc. Your welcome.to come and try it out after lockdown.
Can we get these in the United States I’m either looking at? I’ve been lusting so bad for a GBB MP5 I’ve been looking at the at the VFC or the Apache version.
Your only option would be to import from Asia because it’s not sold anywhere else right now. The WE versions are available in more places outside of Asia but you’d have to Google it for specifics.
yes, longer barrels tend to help with velocity, distance & accuracy, but just like a real gun, it depends on the use, like “CQB” for example 20 yards max distance of interaction, its not going to matter how long your barrel is for the most part. FPS also changes accuracy alot but if we are talking about 2 guns with the same FPS, the one w the longer barrel is going to give more range for sure
Hey badabing just want to give a heads up, don't know if you know but turns out the cocking handle IS actually steel, it's just the cocking tube that's made of zinc or some alloy. No wonder it's HK slappable
@@Sandman21B6 You're right! I just pulled the handle out of the cocking tube. The Handle Grip itself isn't but the pin that it's fixed onto is, thanks man. Yep, no wonder we can slap it all day ;-)
The stock is a quality component, if it wasn’t for the fact that the base cap moves up and down. Stuffing an old chewed up o-ring between the receiver and the stock, it’s super rigid for a retractable piece. That’s how it should be. But apart from that and it’s silly bolt stop, it’s an amazing MP5. Thanks for watching the vid.
I could have gone more in-depth but it would have been a very long video, and this video alone took 12 days to edit...almost drove me insane! Comparison video is on the horizon.
Looking forward to the comparison to the WE MP5 A3 GBB! Thanks!

You need to make some gbbr asmr bing. Great video as always. Also an no5 mag dump in each hand better come 😭
such a soothing voice, it's as if my uncle's stubble is on the back of neck again.
What does it take... 5 days of filming and 10 days editing to make these?
I am blown away every time!
Its a royal pain in the arse, is what it is. Hahah!
4 Weekends getting the outdoor shots. A couple of weeks juggling desktop filming with work/life/Xmas. 10 days cutting it all together and a couple of days looking for gremlins/final rendering.
Writing and in most cases re-writing throughout the entire duration. I'm sure there are easier ways to go about it, but we can't have that now can we? ;-)
Cheers for watching, bro
Best intro ever
Thanks mate. I'm rather pleased with how it came out :-)
Awesome video as always dude! The VFC MP5 seems to be pretty rock solid, aside from the stock. But luckily it looks like it can accept real stocks and what not, so that’d be cool to be able to buy a real A3 stock for it. The WE one however might be easier for me to obtain due to the ATF banning the VFC one from the US 😔💔 oh well, I’ll figure out which one I want by the time it comes to purchase one.
An atf ban for the vfc? I hadn't heard anything about this. Do you have a source article or are you assuming that's the case due to difficulty with customs? I guess I'm curious as to whether there's anything in writing because I couldn't find any specific decisions posted anywhere.
@@zacharygraham809 All I know is that Elite Force was told that the ATF won’t allow VFC shit to ship to the US. But that won’t stop me from trying to import one lol
@@WolfMan-nf4lv theres have been people Who gotten vfc gbbs into the states here, such as wayward airsoft got a mp5k and a friend of jetdesert Fox with a PSG1, which both are bought from redwolf airsoft
Another fantastic video, I do have a soft spot for the MP5 I've owned 2 aeg ones in the past but gbbr are definitely the best, shame it's not officially available over here but the WE is 🤔
Let it snow~ let it snow~ let it snow~
I need this in my life
Oh I couldn’t agree more.
A classy SMG like this would look great on your channel 😉
Can you do a review of the vfc ump45 gbb? And Merry Xmas
That would be cool. I don’t have the funds right now, although I’m willing to accept donations 😊
Merry Christmas BadaBing.
Did you curl your toes on the carpet yet?
Worst advice ever given to John McClane!
Merry Christmas to you too!
I want to see the VFC FN FAL gbbr rifle.
this intro made my day :D
I have this gun and hk416 long barrel.
Side arm WE Glock 18c with some upgrades.
use stealth Tactical Elite 0.25g BBs and nuprol green gas. Both good brands for reliability and build quality
Cool! :-)
And he dunks his Twinkies..., Good Man!!! Do you use a mag pouch for your MP5 mags if so what brand / model# ?
I'm asking because I was let down by the Condor brand MP5 triple mag pouch. I can just barely get a single finger in
those spaces but the VFC Umarex Elite Force MP5 mags are a no go in those spaces. I have a Condor Double AK/AR
mag pouch that works perfect for 8 metal airsoft MP5 mags so that ones a keeper but the MP5 pouch is going back
after Christmas. :(
I only did that to annoy the Anti-dunkers, haha!
I don't have any pouches to take MP5 magazines. I don't play anymore so I have no need for em.
@BadaBingPictures how is your VFC MP5A5 GEN 2 doing so far? besides the cocking tube breaking? Any upgrades? I am now debating between this and the WE TECH 36c......price is a concern but......i like them both and its so damn hard and ive watched several reviews on both.....i like to go full auto and the g36c is powerful for an airsoft gun.....but you did mention this MP5's weakness, so to speak, is full auto yes? Can you upgrade it with stronger recoil springs to make it faster?
Sorry for all the questions I am a newb with SMG/GBBR I only own 2 WE TECH G17 glocks. However....I had told you I had a bad first impression with VFC as both my mags were leaking out of the box and I fully disassembled them and tightened them and its leaking more......I cannot make a decision. What would you do? I know I know you and I are exactly the same when it comes to the MP5 - it is the king of all firearms IMO......it would be my go to in real life lol....
I made a 2-year review a few months ago, nothings changed since then. I don’t bother with upgrades, the MP5 is good enough as it is. You don’t need them.
The WE G36 is great too. Quite old these days, but it’s still a GBBR system which has a lot of value in it. Plus, it performs amazing as standard. Good hard recoil.
While these GBB’s can run on fully automatic, it’s not recommended for skirmishing as you’ll be emptying your magazines very quickly. 30rds will not last long!
And then there’s cool-down to contend with, depending on your local climate. They’re not meant to be treated like AEG’s where you spray and pray.
Generally you should be using the best bbs you can afford in GBB’s, as cheap bbs will likely break apart in the action. 0.30g or heavier will achieve compressed groupings, so it gets expensive when you decide to rip up the air with automatic fire.

@@BadaBingPictures you are awesome brother seriously. PS I take it you're somewhere in England? I have some family who live in Essex! I'm in the USA though.
But yeah ugh I am very disappointed with my VFC HK416A5 Gen 3. You have no idea - for spending over $600 for this realistic replica + additional mag.... but I did hear the Vmags work better. They look very impressive based on what I've seen in TH-cam!
As far as VFC MP5 GEN 2 vs WE TECH G36C - this is a very hard decision. G36c + 3 additional mags is just over $400! THAT IS A GREAT DEAL for a GBBR! I know I'll have a blast with it I can tell. However, there's the gorgeous VFC MP5A5 gen 2 which is similar to the PS5 in the sense that it is sold out frequently but.... the SMG + 1 additional mag will cost me $650+.... it's so hard to decide. Does the MP5A5 Gen 2 have enough spare parts yet in case things fail? The cooking tube isn't my concern that's simple. But yeah idk what to do. I wanna just friggin just use a full auto or 3rd burst to steam off on stressful days lol. Not even to go into the field lol. Lemme know what you think!
@@grayman1 Ah right, yeah that’s South Eastern England. I’m South West, South Gloucestershire.
They have the latest version VMAG which is supposed to be decent. I’ve actually ordered one just to see what it’s like in my Viper Tech 416.
It’s a tough decision as I love both of them. Depends if you want a rifle or Sub Machine Gun. The G36 is a great GBBR, and you could buy a separate upper to build a K or even a full sized G36. So you can have one platform for indoors and another for outdoors. They are also easy to work on and learn the craft of GBBR’s.
The magazines though are a pain in the ass because you’d really need G36 mag pouches, or 7.62 ones. They are very chunky.
The plastic shell is quite brittle as well, so you’d have to be gentle with them.
Good thing is, the system is cheap and spares are plentiful.
VFC MP5 spares can be found but mainly in Asia. Either direct from VFC or WGC, Pro Act etc.. 3rd party support is picking up too.
The MP5 is a little bit better when you consider it’s construction. So it’s real gun / replica vibes hits much much harder than the G36. Not saying the G36 looks and feels like a toy, because it’s surprisingly rigid. But elements of the rifle look off when you compare it visually to the real G36. Or VFC’s more authentic looking Version 2 G36.
I know nothing of their G36 though. It’s quite rare.
@BadaBingPictures wait where did you order your VMAGs, and was it recently? I cannot for the life of me find one that's not overpriced if it's not sold out already everywhere I look!!! 😡
Also , I JUST literally purchased the VFC MP5A5 V2 + 2 Gen 2 MAGS. I am hoping and praying I have zero issues. Especially I hope there are no issues with any of the 3 mags in total. Check out this link that baffled me - this is a first I've seen. Did you ever see this issue on the VFC MP5A5?
Hey sorry it wouldnt lemme edit my reply so I had to add it here. Here is a short clip I found on the VFC MP5A5 Gen 2 - th-cam.com/users/shortsbNem99E5NXI
You ever see anything like this? He claims he cannot figure out what is causing it to go full auto on semi auto.....strange.....
YIPPIE KI YAY SCHWEINEBACKE!
Well, you problably won't know about that last word but trust me, it's pure nostalgia.
I upgraded my WE MP5SD6 with real HK parts. Sights, Stock, Charging handle and Cocking tube fore Charging handle. All steel. ALL STEEL. You need this bro, it's the only pieces missing your MP5. Also, those pieces aren't as expensive as you might think. I can hit you up with some links.
Merry Christmas Schweinebacke. 🎄❄️🤙
I am not familiar with that word. I do not have a German tongue. Only French 😂
Thanks bro. Yes, I thought about buying some real HK parts for this MP5. It’ll be awesome.
Perhaps even a VFC SEF Lower and SA/FA trigger pack. 3rd burst isn’t required. Links would be great!
Merry Christmas to you too, mein freund.
@@BadaBingPictures I don't need burst either, but it's forbidden here anyway.

Thanks for the other link too, very useful.
I really hope that vfc release a sef grip for their mp5k soon,im trying to make an early retro build ala black ops one :)
Buy a real one if you can source one.
I did, in order to modify it to fit my WE MP5K....although I may buy a VFC MP5k V2 instead.
Worth the wait dude :-)
Thanks mate!
FYI RS stock is as wobbly as you can imagine, check more RS photos in the 90s, you'd be surprised
It’s so annoying. The VFC end cap on this moves around when it’s fixed to the receiver, something I haven’t seen. The WE A3 has a stiff connection to the receiver.
Instant like
Merry Christmas
the spungy trigger sounds like most HK G3 MP5, they where not known for chrisp triggers
Great vid as always , do you know if there is an upgrade to allow the bolt to fully close on empty?
Mr Jon, nice to see you again. Thanks!
Unfortunately no. Unless you use the older style bb follower that doesn’t interrupt the bolt travel. But it’ll dry fire…
There’s not a lot of space on the magazine to incorporate a valve block or something similar to their G3. In the future they might be able to make something. In the meantime it is what it is.
ain't no better xmas present
Where can I buy it? Need this in my life
I wonder why umarex doesnt bring the mp5k green gas with auto feature when they have the semi on C02.
So in the end, would you suggest VFC's or WE's? I'm considering getting one HK slap goodness in 2021.
Tough call.
WE would be a wise choice. 45rd capacity is superior for the field.
However the VFC MP5 has a lot going for it. I don't think I could round it off in a YT comment, there isn't enough room.
@@BadaBingPictures so maybe WE is better for skirmish, while VFC is better for its build quality? I'm more concerned about gaming performance and barrel/hop upgrade so I can compete with those AEGs indoor 😁
As w/ most GBB rifles/pistols/submachineguns Accuracy is average to awful out of the box. That's why I installed Maple Leaf Autobot hop up rubber w/ Maple Leaf Crazy Jet barrel 6.04 in everything.
Is the stock made of metal? Obviously the buttbad is polymer but im curious about the legs? Im also curious if the stock will fit a real mp5
The VFC or the WE?
i have a we one and its great!!! i dont trust vfc gbbrs at all!
@@frostylia1982 Exact opposite
@@neuzdost1939 lol !!!even in this video you can hear the gun is slugish!the first gen mp5 was trash , their m4 gbbrs are trash with bolt carrier problems, even after so many years !i dont say that we are perfect !but their glocks and their we apache mp5 are very very good!hope this helped
@@frostylia1982 Sluggish!? This thing is FAR from sluggish!
@@keyboardcommando5146 well, we will see when the versus video will be release 😉
Good production, we will need you with communications.... Gbb will not save us from NWO.
I work in Comms. I produce the ‘Breakfast Club’ on our local radio network.
Also every a month the Midnight shift with ‘Late Night Love’. I take calls from love sick individuals looking for advice.
I’m like Frasier Crane, but better.
I wonder where I could purchase one for myself
Love it bud, if you ever fancy letting go of it let me know! haha
Hah, of course. Although I'm getting rather attached to this MP5!
YEAHHHH BABEEEEY
What would comfortable temps be?
When i see this review reminds me all time the " Die Hard " movie scene at the lift who stand on the body with blood Ho-Ho-Ho 😂
Haha, welcome to the party pal!
When lockdown is over, you should come to south wales so you can shoot my walther mp5a2 in 22lr as it seems you love hk's so much :)
Wow. Sounds cool!
Can we not get semi auto 9mm MP5's?
@@BadaBingPictures I'm afraid not. Semi auto in rifles is only allowed in 22lr or 22 magnum calibres. But it functions the same as the 9mm version. You need to.do the hk slap to chamber a round etc. Your welcome.to come and try it out after lockdown.
Can we get these in the United States I’m either looking at? I’ve been lusting so bad for a GBB MP5 I’ve been looking at the at the VFC or the Apache version.
Your only option would be to import from Asia because it’s not sold anywhere else right now.
The WE versions are available in more places outside of Asia but you’d have to Google it for specifics.
Does Barrel length matter? Like does a longer barrel tend to be more accurate and give more range than a shorter one in airsoft?
yes, longer barrels tend to help with velocity, distance & accuracy, but just like a real gun, it depends on the use, like “CQB” for example 20 yards max distance of interaction, its not going to matter how long your barrel is for the most part. FPS also changes accuracy alot but if we are talking about 2 guns with the same FPS, the one w the longer barrel is going to give more range for sure
my mp5 has no wobble in the stock bought it this year.
An an owner of a real mp5sd I can tell you the trigger being awful captures the realism
Oh the intro LMAO! great!
Come back Badabing.. we miss you.... 🙏🏼
I'm still here man. I have lots of things planned, it's just getting free time to dedicate to it.
Hope to see you there!
Perfect.
Hey badabing! Just wanted to ask how's your mp5a5 doing after awhile? Still HK slappable? How's the internals holding up?
Hiya,
It’s only been a few weeks after posting this video and I haven’t used it since then. So it’s perfect 😉
Hey badabing just want to give a heads up, don't know if you know but turns out the cocking handle IS actually steel, it's just the cocking tube that's made of zinc or some alloy. No wonder it's HK slappable
@@Sandman21B6 You're right! I just pulled the handle out of the cocking tube. The Handle Grip itself isn't but the pin that it's fixed onto is, thanks man. Yep, no wonder we can slap it all day ;-)
Great review as always. I’ve been waiting a long time for a proper mp5 gbbr, this looks like it might be the one. The stock is disappointing.
The stock is a quality component, if it wasn’t for the fact that the base cap moves up and down. Stuffing an old chewed up o-ring between the receiver and the stock, it’s super rigid for a retractable piece. That’s how it should be.
But apart from that and it’s silly bolt stop, it’s an amazing MP5.
Thanks for watching the vid.
Most detailed VFC reivew ever lol. Please compare it with the WE.
I could have gone more in-depth but it would have been a very long video, and this video alone took 12 days to edit...almost drove me insane!
Comparison video is on the horizon.
@@BadaBingPictures No worries, I will buy you beer/ coffee for that lol
@@OscarPanzer Coffee please!
I don’t like alcohol.
@Stephan Kargel Hell yeah!
Coffee, plenty of water, balanced diet and I run 10 miles once or twice a week.
Super fit 😊 🤙
Are there modifications to fix all of it's flaws?
Where you bought this from? Great video man
