GBB Airsoft guns seem to be very difficult to get hold of these days - most dealers are showing 'out of stock' on the majority of guns listed on websites. Don't know why - Brexit? Supply chain issues? Small manufacturers producing single 'runs' of products? Who knows?
I've been after an Umarex VFC MP5 for ages (if anyone has one for sale please let me know
), but there's no stock anywhere. Then the other day I stumbled across a WE MP5 (IN STOCK would you believe?) so I grabbed it.
The WE MP5 isn't a licensed product so unfortunately has no trades, but apart from that it's a damn good copy. It's 1:1 so many real steel bits fit straight on. All steel and alloy where it should be, the weight comes in at about 3kg so there's plenty of heft. It has single shot, fully auto and the best bit - 3 shot burst (which the VFC doesn't have). Plenty of blowback and a nice cocking lever that allows the H&K Slap (see vid below).
Pictured below with a deactivated MP5K (this is an earlier model so the finish and detailing are quite different).
