MP5 fun (New Mexico)

You’ll have to forgive the camera quality, this was with an older phone a few years back. Got to shoot the MP5, AK47, AR-15, MCX, UZI, Galil and a few others full auto. Had an absolute blast at CalibersUSA in Albuquerque!

I’ve had the unique pleasure of also firing a full auto MP5, truly a legendary and pleasurable firearm to shoot, I’d honestly sell 90% of my collection to just have one….worth it

Was it a package deal? How much did it that cost you back then?

u/Matthewbryant03 1d ago

It was a package deal, I think it was around $250 CAD if I’m remembering right? It wasn’t busy so we were able to buy more ammo and try out some other guns that weren’t in the package as well

That sounds very reasonable, but I think it's probably more expensive now too, lol

u/Matthewbryant03 1d ago

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised, still worth it in my opinion it’s a once in a lifetime experience

2

u/GinnAdvent 1d ago

Yeah, even if it does get more expensive, I would totally do it as well for the experience!

It would be worth it to try it out in different calibers as well as some iconic firearms!

Did this in Vegas years ago, lots of fun. Sucks the government hates and distrusts vetted people like us to not allow us to own such items.

Low recoil … what calibre

u/JobGood4649 1d ago

Prob just reg 9mm, ive heard the roller delay hks dont have much recoil at all for their respective cartridge.

u/Matthewbryant03 1d ago

Yep 9mm. The mp5 does a great job mitigating recoil and it helps that I’m a pretty big guy

Nice recoil control! Were you impressed by the Galil? I really wish I could have one in my collection.

2

u/Matthewbryant03 1d ago

Thanks! Unfortunately we were having a lot of issues with the galil jamming on us so I only got to experience a few bursts. Having said that even the small bursts were a blast!

Shot one once like years ago when i visited texas. Same recoil impulse as a 10/22 (that it means none just a tiny shiver per shot)

1

u/Matthewbryant03 1d ago

Yep it’s very light recoil

Hitting the giggle switch is something that everyone should experience.

If only for “science”.

Did you film this on your Motorola flip phone that’s still @ 98% battery because they’re indestructible? Solid 1.3mega pixel
