Fun with the Banshee

[Winterborne]

I had a chance to run the
CMMG Banshee MK57 in 5.7x28 with a suppressor attached.

This thing is FUN.
Mk57 had a few up grades.

Thoughts:
The Gisselle SDC trigger makes double taps a breeze.

I need 5.7 sub sonic ammo to get the most from the Wolfman.

The magazine release needs to be a bit closer/extended back to my trigger finger.
It's not bad..just noticeable.

Sorry..no range pics as it was busy...just table top.

It takes the FN Five Seven mags.
The PSA AK-v and Archon where fun as well but the Mk57 stole the show.

I was looking for Yamaha pics!! Lol

very nice setup looks like a good time

Buddy of mine has a 5.7 upper for his M16/AR lowers that takes the big 50rd mag up top. The brass falls straight down out of the unused magwell. Lots of fun when we run it on one of his select-fire M16 lowers.

I've been thinking about one of the 10mm Banshees at some point. Sounds like they are worth the money...

 

[Winterborne]

Well..they ARe not cheap...lol

I was thinking about a PS90 till I saw the Mk57..way better ergonomics and the Barbie Doll effect.
(Barbie Doll effect= Accessorize as you see fit, triggers, furniture and optics.)

The PS90 what you see is what you get.

The 5.7x28 is like a mini AK74 5.45x39 7n6, performance bigger than its size and flat shooting.
Low recoil..I have Ruger 10/22's that kick more.


My wishes would be full ambi controls..but it works as is.
Accurate..out to 200 yards plus.
Flat shooting, so red dot sight is more than adequate.
Light weight..irons, optic and laser/light.

The 8" barrel gives a bump to velocity, more rail for my longer arms.

CMMG Banshee Radial Delayed Blowback in the 9mm, 10mm and 45acp I have no experience with but the Mk57 has been a pleasant surprise.

One big complaint is with all these pistol caliber carbines can we not design an updated upper receiver to a decent side/forward charger that doesn't leave a gap.
No gas tube so that section of the upper can be reconfigured as needed.

Interesting AK variant... is it 9mm or?

 

[Winterborne]

The AK is PSA's AK-v 9mm

Its heavy and solid and the mags are awesome if you can get them for $15.

The thing is a blast to shoot and not that expensive.

My ranking system at the moment is:

Zenith Mp5RS..smoothest and finest..common..its an Mp5 !

CMMG Banshee Mk57...holy crap.. Punches above its price...smooth

PSA AK-v...dude this is cool...solid simple fun.

CAA Micro Roni..if you are invested in Glocks..you should have one..adds another level to the pistol.
p.s. I am not a Glock guy..
So it is going bye bye.

CZ Scorpion...not bad at all.
Problem is by the time you configure it the way you want it you have spent a lot of money and it still jumps around like a Mexican jumping bean.

How can you rate the mp5 clone as number one if it's not in the group pic?
