Re: GSG 5 22LR
I just picked one up the other day. Been about 8 years since I had shot a .22. Let me tell you what a kick in the pants. I love it!!! FUN, Cheap, and pretty damn accurate as well.

Lots of fun, only issue is cost. ANd, well, its hard to not just spray 22 rounds in a few seconds!

Re: GSG 5 22LR
The GSG 5 is fun, accurate, and functions pretty well. That being said it is one of the cheapest and poorly made firearms I have ever put my dickbeaters on. I own one, and I enjoy it, but what a piece of shit.

Re: GSG 5 22LR
I like mine a lot but I agree - it's a little "chintsy." You can get a screw upgrade which makes a big difference, and surprisingly the parts you can get from *gasp* Airsoft distributors are more robust than the ones that come with the gun.
It is one of the most fun weapons I've shot, though. Add a red dot sight and a telescoping stock and you've got a great weapon to teach kids with that can fit their frame.
It's expensive, but I have to admit it's the most irrational purchase I've made in some ways. All of my other weapons have, or had, a purpose in mind when I bought them. This one was purely for fun.

That's the way I felt about my Walther P22.

Re: GSG 5 22LR
When I first bought mines I thought it was going to be cheap plastic and light weight, handled it at the store and it was pretty solid so I decided to plunk down the money for it.
Fires fairly accurate and it's a great plinker for sure. 22 is about all i'm shooting these days anyways. lol

Re: GSG 5 22LR
I only have 5 mags through mine. I use only CCI Mini Mags in it. It's a fun but expensive little toy.
Everyone who has problems with them has been taken care of pretty fast by the importer. Their CS is pretty good from everything I have heard.
Apparently they will accept many HK parts with little modification.
