Escort has aquired the previously defunct Youth Engineering MP5 lineup, and they have finished the prototype of the new Escort MP5. It uses Marui MP5 mags and has been upgraded and updated.

Very limited production as the die for the beautiful YE metal body has been lost.

Wow, if they actually improved the YE design this will be a seriously impressive weapon.

Wish I could afford one sad.gif

A copy? That would be like saying Armalites are copies of Colt rifles. biggrin.gif

The old YE has a very good mechanism as is. The main drawbacks were the hop up and magazines. The latter were pretty hard to come by (although SniperX seems to have found a source and is selling them), but I don't like how they function.

This new version takes AEG magazines and has an improved hop up among other things. I'd buy this in an instant if I already wouldn't have the old one which I'm working on. Guess what I'm trying to do? You got it - improve hop up and make it take AEG magasines.

Could this be an indication that they may produce a new line of escort guns when the mp5a5 run has ended?

Sniperx mentioned that there was the possibility of a release of the sd6 series in the near future.

Wow, I hope they'll never stop doing things like this (you know I'd be angry if they stopped doing these when I get a good salary tongue.gif).

Why is it called an "Escort" MP5? Do you have to pay $6000, and does it go with you to fancy parties ... does it do more for you?

Price could make or break this for me. The only things that make me shy away from classics are the lack of available mags, and hop up (the only reasons I sold my mp-40) so since this escort mp5 has eliminated both those problems, I'm close to sold. Should we expect a price around that of the Sun Project M-16 series?

Where did you put in the gas on the YE MP5? In the mag?

Where is the gas going to go on this? Pistol grip?

Ok, thanks.

And it is made by Escort Corporation. You may be familiar with the Escort hand grenades. Home page:

Price is TBA. Hopefully somewhere in that ballpark. smile.gif

Gazchap: Like hitman said. This gun, like all YE MP5s and Escort guns, is powered via external air. HPA or Co2 with a regulator.
