This covers the range portion of the video.&nbsp;  <!--more--> <\/p>\n<h1>GSG-5 Range Video<\/h1>\n<p>by Jessie Indracusin<\/p>\n<h2>Introduction<\/h2>\n<p>There is an old saying, you get what you pay for.&nbsp; The performance of this gun is definitely one of them.&nbsp; By no means does this guns performance live up to the expectations of the guy it is trying to pay homage to (The H&amp;K MP5K).&nbsp; However, realistically, this gun is a .22 LR weapon, so you wouldn&#39;t even use this gun seriously in most cases.&nbsp; This gun would not be used in shooting competitions, home defense, etc.&nbsp; If you are looking for a cheap Tactical Weapon and are on a serious budget, this gun does deliver exactly that.&nbsp; To be honest, based on the price point, it is very hard for me to critize this gun against firearms that are exponentially more expensive.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Design<\/h2>\n<p>The Design of this gun is fairly good.&nbsp; It is, at the surface, a very similiar look and design to an MP5K.&nbsp; When you take the gun apart, and how you take the gun apart, almost makes you feel like you have a high quality airsoft gun.&nbsp; The inside components of the gun are a bit different than what you may be use to.&nbsp; It does feel similiar to the bolts seen in .22 LR upper kits for ARs. <\/p>\n<h2>Innovation <\/h2>\n<p>As far as innovations go, I would say that the magazine design is where the true innovations and failures exist.&nbsp; The tension release tab on the side makes the magazine very easy to load.&nbsp; This is great for casual shooters or female shooters that may have problems loading traditional magazines. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Durability<\/h2>\n<p>This weapon is very heavy for it&#39;s side.&nbsp; This is mainly because of the significant amount of metal this weapon has.&nbsp; There is one things that I would feel comfortable saying you would be able to give this gun a few drops without issue.&nbsp; Problems that I see would be with the assembly screw since it would be easy to strip the screw heads.&nbsp; The rear adjustment site is also a bit flimsy.&nbsp; It is not well designed and not an exact science.&nbsp; It does take a little bit of time to get this gun adjusted.<\/p>\n<h2>Reliability<\/h2>\n<p>This is a bit where the gun falls apart.&nbsp; The bolt system does tend to cause miss feeds in the weapon and actual &quot;bend&quot; the soft .22 LR rounds.&nbsp; The magazine tension button on the side also causes jamming if you hold the gun more typical for this type of a gun, using a mag well hold.&nbsp; Ideally, a vertical pistol grip would be ideal, but then that would be illegal for a weapon categorized as a &quot;pistol&quot;.&nbsp; Failures ran on the average of 2-3 per 100 rounds.&nbsp; This is fairly poor, but fine for a VERY cheap plinker gun.<\/p>\n<h2>Accuracy<\/h2>\n<p>At 10-15 yards, accuracy is exceptional from a standing position.&nbsp; This quickly goes to crap at 25 yards.&nbsp; Mainly this is due to an uncomfortable hand hold and a poor weapon balance.&nbsp; Resting this gun on the magazine to bench fire also creates malfunction problems too.&nbsp; However, if you can sandbag it and lay the gun in an appropriate position, you can get some impressive accuracy out to a maximum of 25 yards. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>REVIEW:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/JAMESW%7E1\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/> PRICE:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><\/p>\n<p>FEATURES\/DESIGN:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><\/p>\n<p>INNOVATION:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><\/p>\n<p>DURABILITY: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;RELIABILITY: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>OVERALL: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/glock.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"47\" height=\"33\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><a href=\"index.php?option=com_seyret&amp;task=videodirectlink&amp;Itemid=27&amp;id=78\">CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO PORTION OF THIS ARTICLE<\/a> <br \/><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click the READ MORE below to read the full article on the GSG-5 .22LR and the video portion.&nbsp;
