Why not? You can build a PTR91 for less than that.

hmmm. True. Wonder what the difference is? They are both made from flats. Maybe parts availability? Ease of manufacturing parts? I dont know. What I do know is I havent seen a MP5 that cheap.

Yea this seems like garbage. Like they targeted a loophole without any practicality to the firearm just to say hey look what we can do.

Side question, but the definition is that still considered a firearm? Like could it be full auto?

I don't know. To the degree it's an SBR "work-around", kudos I guess.

Easy. Popularity. They think people will pay it for an MP5. An HK91? No. But practically speaking in terms of materials you'd think the MP5 would be even cheaper.

Straight lands and grooves barrel. It keyholes around 50 yards (seriously)

lol... wow.

thats one question another one i had is, could you possibly suppress it without a stamp as well? like those maxim 50 suppressed muzzle loaders

I wonder if the bullet is stable enough to not give you baffle strikes every time you shoot though.

And this piece of crap:

4-5MOA at 50yds... piece of crap is right. Interested to see if this is a first crappy step that can be elevated to something that is good. Not holding my breathe though and now just upset I spent time googling that.

What is 4-5 MOA at 50? Is that 4-5" at 50yards and 8-10" at 100 yards?

I seriously doubt that rep knows the difference

Disappointed so far. More mp5 variants will eventually reduce prices. Not in for a 1900$ ptr or a 2k not fire arm not accurate. Hope things spice up, flop so far.
