Looks good, though I would probably have gotten rid of the front grip since you have the mag on there. Any more plans for it?

Just curious, how many times have you used it? I had nearly an identical setup and got tired of the weight. That Rap4 magazine had to weigh nearly 2 lbs all on its own.

While I am not a fan of ventilated shrouds on pb equipment (they tend to catch branches when moving through thick stuff*) I like the way the shroud goes with the stock.

*The shroud I had experience with had elongated openings; perhaps the smaller one's won't present as much of a problem.

I was really trying to keep the MP5K styling so I left it. The only thing else i have planned is that mod to make the cocking pin cock with every shot. o and the egrip with selector switch, just to make it look a Lil more milsim.

I have used this bad boy once.... not very practical lol. its extremely heavy and taking the time to actually look down the sight just wastes time. but I play more of a speed ball style so ya. When i Take it out to a BIG field im sure it'll do fine, as long as i use the remote.

putting together this gun really made me realize that weight makes a HUGE difference, in my style of playing anyway.

You can look down the sights with a mask on? Surprising to me.

EDIT: I guess it's not a problem without the stock extended.

that gun looks sweet!!! i have a similar set up on my a5 (i too have the mp5 rap4 mag). i agree with oldpbnoob. the mag is a beast but it makes the gun look sick. one question though, where did you get the red dot? im lookin to get one for my mp5 a5. still, nice gun. you must have put alot of time and cash into this gun!!!

I got the sight from a good package deal on ebay($90 for the mag, stock, and sight) its a BSA red dot sight, honestly thats the only money ive put into it. When I bought it, it came with a crappy m4 kit so I traded it even for the flatline.

IMHO I feel that sights are purely aesthetic, as I have stated before actually taking the time to look down the sight will take too long and you'll probably get shot in the process. Plus as you probably already know, Paint balls are incredibly inaccurate! So with those facts in mind, Just get one that you think looks good for your gun. As far as liking mine.... sure I think it suits my gun well. I like the red dot sights with the medium sized squarish window that the dot projects onto but those were EXPENSIVE. So i'm just gonna stick with this one.

Thanks alot man. im getting paid like 100 bills so i was looking to get a sight and maybe an offset rail. we play at all sorts of places. outdoors, in the woods, a new place just opend up thats indoors but its not speedball, its more like a S>W>A>T based setting. i always get shot so that wont really bother me. my only fear is that the sight would break if someone hits it.Cry any comments on that?
Thanks again

My red dot has been hit before and has no damage. Just wiped it off and it was okay. I find it helps tremendously with first shot accuracy.

No selling on the forum. Better take that post away before you get a strike.

all sights can break...

but is highly unlikely if somone has their gun set at like 400fps and shoot it at point blank i doubt it would last long but the sights are built to take a beating so you should be fine.
