Custom "EOD"
MP5 You can find more info at the DEN Trinity website, and at CL's personal page for this very impressive piece of Airsoft-smithing. Images from DEN have been used with their kind permission - Arnie There now follows Jesse's review of his prize from Op Savage Garden: |
"...I was expecting to come home to the new replica, so I rushed up to my room to find the box from Airsoft Supply sitting under my bed. I ripped it open (which was a hard task with the 4 inches of bubble rap) and my eyes were just glued to the gun. This is one of the coolest airsoft guns you will ever find, with there being only one of it's kind that alone adds to its luster, there are very few mp5s with a sun project m203 mounted on it but none with all of its parts. I will say it is a gun near your pants over just holding it.

The weight is around 8 or 9 pounds which is okay for a mp5. It includes a metal top receiver, cocking tube, barrel shroud, grenade sight, m203 (of course), and everything that's metal on a real-steel mp5a5. The replica is a joy to shoot. The loud bang it makes it's quite impressive, and the replica's average chrono reading is 417 fps. This is a little to high for most games, but I'm hoping most people would except this fps, if not oh well...it's ROF is around 700 rpm this slower fps is due to the upgrade I find that it has little or no effect to it's gaming quality. |

The range is quite good using .20 grain bb's it was tested at 200ft. with "pop can accuracy" it was dead on hitting every it with every shot made. Most people want to know if it is true that the m203 is mounted poorly, unfortunately I'm not at liberty to say, right now it moves slightly but it is not nearly as bad as it was made out to be. The reason I'm not really at liberty to say at this point is because the 4 screws that would secure the m203 are missing, thus I really don't know yet. The replica has a sg1 grip on it that is cut to the right size of a mp5 and has a grenade sight on the left side, this side works out in my favor because i am left handed, but the it really serves no purpose, I will explain the reason why in a second... |

The main and really only problem i have with this is the battery - this is a small and easy to fix problem but it is annoying for the time being. The battery is only a 600mah mini 9.6v battery that has to be externally attached.

Now on to the Sun Project M203 - this in itself is a great and intimidating thing. I must say it surprised me by both its sound and power, both were a big plus. The sound it makes is a big popping sound with a crackling of gas at the end. You can hear 18 or 21, (in my case 18 bb's) fly off and hit the target you aimed for. It is true that the range is not great with it unless you arc it like a true grenade launcher. I would say they have a range of about 50ft. (note: this is the 18 round ANGS grenade with no hop-up) The grenade is a fairly simple item and is very reliable from what I've seen. As for gas usage..... you'd better have a lot of money, as the thing will steal your last pennies in gas. |

The ANGs shell stores about the same amount of gas as a magazine, but keep in mind this is a single shot item. Even with this awsome gas usage it is still a very effective item. The shell has an effect somewhat similar to a shotgun shell, as it features a good shot-spread
