Now I heard a rumour these were coming out a while ago, but the story seems to have gone a bit dead....

PING! then this appears today! Should be a nice weapon if the current B&T MP5's are anything to go by, and the fact its a K with an SEF selector (Finally)

Linky: Here

why the hell is that so expensive?

[ben3265]

Overpriced....the CA mp5 'lighted forearm' is the same price

and considering TM one is only £139.. i reckon £170 is a more suitable price

i believe that the tokyo mauri version is overpriced aswell...
it also says on the link, that the CA models are 219.99 euros...

erm, thats £219.99 sterling, they are overpriced.

Probably just AA knocked up the price because they got them first.

Old news. Announced by Classic Army on May 20th and UNCompany stocked since Jul 4th

I'm sure there was and ad in AI for these priced at £100, was possibly a sportline version

the current price is silly!

Two things.

1. These guns supposedly have the CA CQB style refined gearbox which supposedly justifies an increased price.

2. Why do these guns come with boreup kits? (at least according to the ad that i saw from CA.)

that might of been the Chinese Galaxy one, their going for around £100

[SGCDude]

SEF lower: Win! I love those lowers!
Price: Fail! I don't care what they put in there at that price unless it's an included LiPo or something like that. It's an MP5k for cryin' out loud...

As much as I would love to buy 2 of these, I could easily buy 2 galaxy MP5K's and upgrade them and buy better batteries for them. All for about the same price or a little more than this.

CA fails lol.

well, what are the stats? Any info on the fps, and such..

Have fun with the metal bodies

[Utty]

Yeah, my local store has this too, same price.

I don't see why people don't understand this price. It's cheap for a CA. Just because it's shorter, it should be cheaper? Cmon, don't be thick.

If my beloved Galaxy ever gives up the ghost, I'm getting this.

if this has good preformance, then im buying it..

[Lewis_Hodgson]

Im aware this is old news for the world, but its the first appearance of UK based (I'm aware arnies is multi-national, but the brits will be pleased to know)

One thing which has me stumped is the battery issue. One of the B&T Mp5's best features over other Mp5 designs was the internal M4 hop-up and the moving coking handle / ejection port. This meant that the cocking tube is filled with various gubbins...

So, these Mp5Ks must have the regular styled mp5 hop-ups or a magic battery compartment - I would love the latter by somehow I don't think so...

and what is this so called CQB gearbox and why is it so special?

[Crazy_Harry]

Just as a point, and to reiterate Lewis Hodgson- when pressing the "old news" button, so to speak, please be sure to check that it is, in point of fact, old news based on the topic title and topic content.

Something available at HK stores that becomes available outside of HK is news unless it has been specifically mentioned as such elsewhere, as the ability to shop domestic can often be a big selling point for the more wary airsoft customers.

The news forum would be filled up pretty quickly if there was a new topic for evertime a gun was released in a shop :/ Would be better if there was a thread called "Mp5k (or whatever) is released), then people can update it in there when necessary.

Fair point, however I've checked this site pretty consistently since the day this Mp5k was first mentioned and the only discussion that was featured on it was a couple of posts in a thread. So if anything this is the first place people have had to focus opinions.

All in all people have had some opinions, questions and wants towards this gun, not too bad for a news topic, no?

It's just one of the latest CA mechboxes with pre-upgraded internals and very smooth, quiet running. All you need to upgrade for more fps, is the spring. Basically a stock mechbox as it should be, good stuff!
