Product Review: GSG-5 .22

I have had this weapon for a few years, and it is one of my favorite purchases as far as guns go.

It basically looks like a MP5 and operates basically same as the HK MP5.  The picture shows how it comes out of the box, with a fixed Stock and a “false” Suppressor, the Suppressor is there to hide the longer barrel that is needed to comply with NFA rules.

It takes 22 Round Magazines, and the only complaint that I have is that the magazines hold the rounds exposed to the air and dirt around them, but other than that the magazines are very good quality and I have had no issues with them whatsoever when firing.

Field Tests at the range have shown me the weapon is very accurate at 50 yards, and you can hold the rounds to a very tight group.

If you have a decent amount of firearms training .22 shouldn’t be any issues whatsoever and you can fire off a whole mag in less then 13 seconds very accurately, making it a extremely well equipped weapon for defense.

Don’t ever discount the .22 for Defense in a SHTF scenario, it is a deadly round and can do the job.  The .22 is a very cheap round, which you can purchase around 500+ for around $20-22, making it a very economical round.

The GSG makes it perfect for training, since you can practice shooting and moving, rapid engagement and defense of an area for extremely little amount of money compared to using your AR of AK47.

Just remember that NO ONE WANTS TO GET SHOT, it doesn’t matter what the size of the round is, once the crack of a bullet goes by or the dirt kicks up around that person, they will quickly take cover, or run off.
