  1. “Since they removed this gun . . . it feels like a piece of my heart was removed with it.”

    I feel the same way about Glenn Rhee, turned to zombie chow last night.

    • Not only is the answer yes, but there are some gamers who have made cash money profit on their HOBBY and can still manage to hold a full-time job, raise their kids, and pay their mortgage.

      What kind of dividends does your gun hobby pay you, cupcake?

  2. Personally, I don’t really care. There’s better options now. I’ll still buy my MP5K, but that’s it. And that is for nostalgia.

    • What, in 9mm, is out there that has proven to be better than the MP5? I love the gun and it’s natural point of aim, the only thing I like more is the UMP45.
      But there is a lot that I haven’t shot. A whole lot. What out there is better?

      • I have an SP89 and a 4.5″ 9mm AR, both proper SBR’s – I’m considering selling the SP89, as much as I love it there’s no contest to the AR platform. For me, at least.

      • Pistol ARs are soft and accurate, and can accommodate sidearm magazines. The Skorpion, MPX, and other new players do the MP5’s job, but cheaper and better now. The MP5 only has a track record to tout right now, and it will, but honestly, it’s not the best bang for your buck anymore.

        • I haven’t shot the MPX full auto yet, but I have a lot of time with full auto pistol caliber ARs as well as the MP5 and UMP45. Full auto, the MPs win every time, at least for me.

  3. I kept waiting for them to show a picture of the Jeep, or truck that was fallowing him around with all those “spare” magazines he was using
