If you are in the market for high grade MP5 airsoft guns you need to look no further then the galaxy G5K. Below will will offer our review of the galaxy G5K MP5 personal defense weapon, or PDW as it is commonly known.
To start with the first thing that will impress you about this gun is the price, most online retailers will offer it for under $100. But do not be fooled by the low prices because unlike other guns in this price range this is not a plastic low grade weapon but rather a full metal solidly built soft air gun that looks and feels like the real thing. more
When you first pick it up you will be amazed by the weight of the gun for its size, this is due to the amount of metal used in its construction. You will also notice how tight it fits together and how solid it feels when you hold it. You will feel no loose handles or grips or rattles with this weapon. In fact even the included 240 round magazine snaps tightly into place with little to no wobble.
Out of the box using.2 gram BB’s this air soft gun will shoot 320-330 feet per second with a rate of fire that is in the range of 9-11 rounds per second. In tests we were able to accurately shoot out to a range of about 75 feet, after that accuracy degraded quickly. Although if you want an MP5 airsoft gun you realize that they are meant for close quarter battle and not long range shots!
No honest review would be complete without pointing out something that was not liked about the product. Although it was very hard to find something we did not like about this gun it would have to be the paint on the firing switch looked old and faded right out of the box. Although not a big problem or one that will affect performance it is still worth mentioning.
When it comes to high grade mp5 airsoft guns the galaxy G5K really stands out from the rest of the crowd. With great construction, low price and good performance it makes perfect sense for anyone who wants to inexpensively get into air soft and have a weapon that can advance with them through the hobby.
