DEMIGOD has written a review:

Is the GSG-5 anything other than a plinker? For shooters who need to use an MP5 “for work”, the GSG-5 may be a viable training platform since the controls are identical. In addition, a suppressed GSG-5 may have some law-enforcement applications.

According to Tony at Amchar, the first shipment to the U.S. will contain 1320 rifles and should be heading out to dealers around the country and the end of February 2008. GSG’s production plans for 2008 include 10,000 GSG-5s.

    WHY NOT USE THE HK MP5 9MM FOR TRAINING IE. THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT FOR WORK. LETS HAVE IT RIGHT IF YOU ARE IN THE OLD BILL YOUR PAY CHECK IS VERY GOOD AND WILL WELL COVER THE COST OF 9MM AMMO. PS. WHY DO ALL GUN WRITERS SAY SHOOTING .22′S IS FUN BUT THEY NEVER SAY THAT ABOUT CENTRE FIRE??? ISNT SHOOTING SEMI AUTO FIRE FUN!!!

    ALSO THE GSG COPY IS MADE BY MAKER WHO SPECIALSIE IN BB GUNS!!! THIS IS PROBERLEY A ‘MP5′ BB GUN THAT WAS CONVERTED TO FIRE .22LR…NOT HARD….22 IS A LOW PRESSURE CARTRIGDGE!
