Your sights on backwards.

I'm not going to lie, but meh...It looks cluttered to me, but if it works for you and you like it, more power to you. I'm not a big fan of it at all really. Enough hating yet?

Not my bag man....really honestly i don't like it because it doesnt seem to go
together one because i've never seen a red dot let alone a backwords one on
an mp5. Also with the barrel shround and the grenade launcher it looks even
less like an mp5, if mp5 is what you were going for.

I don't know why everyone thinks milsim means it has to look exactly like a production firearm.  To me, that's the beauty: you can make it look like whatever you want.  As long as it's aesthetically pleasing and works well, who cares if it doesn't look like gun x?  My next project (after the A5 is finally done) will be a pulse rifle.  It won't look like any real gun, but it will look milsim.  I think your setup looks great, though I do hate (there you go) the look of a double trigger on anything but an xball style (is that how you term it?) marker, but your reasoning makes sense to me.

Special Ops, MP5 mag and foregrip =/= beautiful and clean milsim look.

As long as you like it, that's fine. And the specs (besides cosmetic addons, rails, and sights) are decent and worth having. But I would be embarrassed to walk on to a field with a gun looking like that.

word.
anyway, those open red dots work like a mirror where the long part bounces a dot off the glass and towards your eye.
but eotech/holosights work by... magic?

is hijacking a gallery thread a jerk thing to do?

Yes it is a jerk thing to do. Remove that pop bottle from your barrel. It looks like crap.

ok. Thats what i wanted some honst opions. I knew the hate on this would lure you guys in.Well i agree on the sight(even being backwards) and weaver rails where a little much after looking at it and seeing all the feedback. But the shroud is staying and the barrel front is to long so I am ordering a new one. The  old one is 14" so i am going to cut it down to 10".
this is the shroud with the 2 stainless 6-32 screws and bored out so the barrel would fit in it.plus the barrel look to skinny with out the shroud...anyways I like it that way.

I don't like it. It's like an m-16/MP5 look with the sight on backwards.
Thinking about it...

man you have the best advice out of everyone...who cares , I like the damn thing.The performace upgrades are there and its shoots great.I know that I asked for it by doing this thread but its not worth it.Everyone else that I have played with loved it. I love it and thats whats important.I play woods ball not speed ball and it works great in the woods.Grenade launcher is sick too.
