Charging the battery couldn’t be easier
either, just use the supplied dock. Plug it
in and check the charging lights, similar to
modern power drill chargers. Each battery
is an 11.1v LiPo that provides a rate of fire
around 1,000 rounds per minute, which is
quick but not insane. The batteries have a
1600mAh capacity which, considering it
is a LiPo, will be plenty to last most game
days. Plus if you’re particularly trigger-happy
you have a second battery to fall back on
– happy days! Firing from the box around
350fps with Blaster 0.20g BBs the power
is consistent, and the hop keeps your shots
nice and true.
The MP5 design has been around for
a long time, one of the oldest in
airsoft if truth be told, but G&G has
not only faithfully replicated the
design, the company has made
an outstanding airsoft rifle. Its
patented pneumatic
blow back system is
functional, and not
detrimental to the
performance of the
rifle in any way.
Recently I had the
chance to use a PM5 RTB
in a game. The only thing
“Everything that should be metal
is metal, and it doesn’t appear to
be your usual cheap lightweight
cheese alloy either”
that had been
altered was the
fitting of a Laylax
6.03 tightbore
barrel. I can, hand
on heart, say that I’ve
only used a handful of
rifles that shot as well
as that rifle did. The player
who owned it boasted that
he was yet to use the fullauto as it was just so damned
accurate.
So, would I buy this rifle? Hmm…
Tough one!
I am a skirmisher through and through
and have had many rifles that failed to
impress me and were rapidly sold (just
the thought of my old King Arms 556 is
enough to bring me out in a cold sweat).
For me a rifle must perform well without
