GHK G5 Airsoft Hard Kick Gas Blowback GBB Rifle (Color: Tan)

"I have used this gun for two months now. I have taken it out on multiple ops and it has performed perfectly. It is a gas blow back, so you will need to give it a little more TLC than a AEG but this gun has worked perfect. It really shines in the CQB settings. It kicks really hard and feels really good in your hand.

I would strongly encourage anyone to take a hard look at this gun.

"Very satisfied with the gun. The metal bolt moving around in the polymer body provides existential kick back when compared to most gbbr of its size. I play field with the 12'' carbine kit on it and it performs very well. It is nice of GHK to provide after market parts for there guns that way you know you are going to get the same build quality to expect from them. I do recommend that you purchase the steel charging handle (can be found on evike) because it is a key part of the weapon necessary for function. Overall its a great gun.




One down side is all the "codsofters" mistaking this for the Scorpion Evo 3

"this is an amazing gun! i got the last one (sorry all of you looking to get it) i highly recommend this rifle to anyone looking to get a GBBR that is extremely light, has badass hard kick recoil, and is so loud you couldn't believe it was CQB friendly. Plus its not like every other M4 out there.

It does have its share of problems that aren't so hard or expensive to fix.
I actually bought one and took it home and while test firing and trying to zero in the sights i noticed that it was misfeeding every shot. Apparently there is a little rubber o-ring on the bolt that acts as a buffer so the bolt doesn't smash into a little seal in the inner barrel. if you fire on full auto for a bit it falls off and the bolt totally destroys that little plastic seal causing it to miss fire and need to be replaced.

What i did is go down to a hardware store and buy an HNBR o-ring kit. what works best is a 1/4"x27/64"x5/64 o-ring. get that and save you some time and money and replace the original one and you got yourself a kick ass little gun.

i just field tested it today and damn i felt like the coolest guy at the prom. Everyone was asking to try it out and those who i graced with it are probably ordering one right now. so here's some pro's and con's

pro's: hard kick, lightweight, loud and proud, sexy, CQB friendly

con's: that o-ring problem but now that i told you about it you can go and fix it or whatever! also the stock mag it came with leaks if i release all the gas and leave it overnight... but if i fill it up and leave it the leak tends to dissipate... i don't get it but it happened to 2 mags already so there's that

"Just got this gun and i'd have to say I'm impressed. The polymer body is really sturdy and its texture feels great. Also, its not heavy. the included magazine is super high quality and the bolt function is very crisp. No wobble at all, even in the folding stock. there's a speed loader included with a lip for feeding WA type magazines like the one it comes with. the only downside is the spare mags aren't cheap. Overall, it's the best gbb rifle i've seen if you can afford the spare magazines.

"This a good GBBR. I recommend this to anyone whos looking for a first time GBBR.

Pros:
- Extremely snappy
- Good ROF for a GBBR
- Exceptional gas efficiency
- Lightweight
- relatively easy to maintain and disassemble compared to other GBBRs.

Cons:
- the G5 magazines are prone to cracking and will even crack on the body. If the feedlips crack you will get you gun jammed.
- plastic construction, it feels very light and doesn't feel realistic.
- the Infamous lower receiver crack, this happened on mine within 1 year of ownership and was only a $40 replacement. Not bad, though reassembling the lower can be a pain.

"Pros
Accurate as BALLS even with stock inner barrel and hop up.
Light weight body, so you wont get fatigued running around with this.
Crisp kicks from the bolt
Looks really good with an M4 butt stock
Mags are really gas efficient and can take a BEATING. I've dropped them over 10 times from chest height and nothing is broken or leaking.
easy take down

Cons
Mags are EXTREMELY heavy and pricey
Lower receiver took a dump on me and cracked almost in half.
hop up is a PIA to adjust.
pistol grip is slightly uncomfortable but it can take any m4 pistol grips with the exception of some.
My lower receiver literally cracked while firing semi automatic in my backyard only after 2 full game days

Evike has replaced my lower receiver for free under the 45 day evike warranty.
They wont cover it if its been abused or dropped all crazy i would think. (based on their RMA page info)

"Absolutely amazing gbbr. Great price point, great quality. A few mods are very recommended.
1. The mags need some sanding on the polymer injection points as the mags will get stuck in the magwell otherwise.
2. Get the Hephaestus aluminum charging handle if you want to HK slap it. The stock polymer one will snap if you are not careful.
Other than that everything is solid. The stock has a tiny bit of wobble but that's what allows it to be folded into the catch. Irons are dead on out of the box. Accuracy is amazing for such a short barrel, hand size group at 40yds with .28s but drops off quickly after that, hard to hit a man size target at 50 yds.

"Just got this and the carbine kit and it is fantastic. Installing the kit was easy to do thanks to the construction of the gun and the polymer feels light but not like a somewhat better quality plastic so much as an actual polymer. The default stock is also really nice and the fact that the gun also already comes with an m4 buffer tube to put m4 stocks on is really nice! Even better is the efficiency of the gas system. I can charge these mags for only 8 seconds and they can empty an entire mag. However, this gun has a few MINOR cons.

-This might be up to opinion, but the default iron sights are a bit small for a peephole sight and I changed the rear sight out.

-The magazines are VERY stiff to load and as such they require a few loads to loosen the spring.

-Also, the mags have a slightly larger lip so the adapter that comes with it to fit the lip of the magazine for speed loaders is the only one I can find that fits, so DONT lose it!.

-On top of this, because of the stiffness of the mags, you need to put some force onto the mags to not have a speed loader pop back out when pushing the plunger in to load BB's. It is a bit more tedious, but I find hand loading to be a bit more consistent although when you get to about 24 BB's the spring is a bit to tight to hand feed anymore. Get some more mags to compensate I guess.

Apart from this, great gun. If you want a good gas blowback, this is the way to go.

"Overall, an excellent buy. The rifle itself is amazingly light, but that doesnt take anything away from its durability. I've had this rifle since November and have played in cold (for a Floridian that's 50 degrees) and hot temperatures. When it is cold out, you have to be very careful with your rate of fire because it loves to jam. The solution is odd, but I find it best to run this gun dry. The more you lube it, the poorer it performs. If you must lube, use a light coating of the lightest silicone oil you can find. In the warmer temps however, it performs flawlessly with the exception of a few mag feeding jams on a few occasions. I'm satisfied with this gun except for the fact that my gun did not come with a bolt catch, and Evike refuses to special order it for me. While it doesn't affect the performance of the gun, technically, its depressing that the bolt doesn't lock back when you're out of ammo and simply continues to fire.

Pros:
Amazing kick
light
durable
low maintenance
Reliable in warm weather
Reliable enough in cold weather
CQB Friendly
Loud

Cons
No bolt catch (I seem to be the only person with this problem)
Loud
Low ammo capacity
Expensive mags
LIMITED SPEED LOADER COMPATIBILITY

"Easily can say already that this gun was one of my greatest trips of airsoft for me. Ofcourse though theres pros and cons to everything. This gun is great known for its kick, I for one love this feature as well with the modifications tou can do on the gun you can either keep it as a cqb (close quater combat), a carbine, or id your up too it you can convert it to a dmr. This gun has great accuracy with either of these modifications. But ofcourse the downfalls... like i said this gun is known for its hard kick back. With comes to an issue with the polymer frame. The back of it easily breaks off after a few 1000 shots later. Ive come to fixed this problem around 3 times. And ive grown tired of this issue now really. So with the charging handle. If you slap it down enough upon with reloading it easily breaks off. Plud as well theres no instructions video of how to disassemble and reassemble the gun so your going to have to tinker around. Over all i think its fair to give this gun a 3 star. As well its a good tip to throw out there if anyone is considering buying this gbb rifle. Your going to have a fun time with this gun, but its maintenance is sort of like a real stuff. You have to lube alot of parts on the gun, and repair is usually a constance. If anyone is up the task good luck and enjoy this beautiful gbb.

"This was my first GBBR purchase after having many issues with aegs. I am new to the gas blow back rifle world but I have had a few issues with this gun.

pros:
-epic kick; the kick on this gun is amazing it feels like nothing other, the name says it all
- decent range; I have it all stock right now and took it to a pretty big field and it preformed pretty well
weight; could be a pro or con but the gun itself is really light being all polymer where it is needed
-construction; from the heavy use I have given it the past few months it has stayed in good shape. I take care of it but still use it alot.
- they provide a converter for an m4 stock so you can buy just a buffer tube and stock for a quick exchange
cons:
THE MAGS: where do I begin with the mags,
-they are just a pain in the butt to reload,
-they dont hold but 20 rounds without being impossible to put more in, they have feeding issues,
-I have had a few of them jam on me already,
- there is issues with the gas tanks leaking out of the box(you have to manually tighten them)

- the bolt has to be cocked back in order to feed right( this is annoying during quick reloads in a fire fight)
- the bolt catch is a bit flimsy; it feels like the lip on it can chip off at any given time if not careful
- the bolt lever is polymer and feels cheap
- the outer barrel is polymer so it is tricky to take he orange flash hider off even though they provide a black flash hider

overall for the price being a cheaper gun this was a good purchase knowing that there are alot of aftermarket parts for it, I do not like the mags or the feeding style but I am more of a m4 fan.

"The GHK G5 is a lightweight, reliable, and efficient platform great for cqb, but with its hopup, it can easily be a field gun. It has a fast rof, and very accurate. I destroyed everybody with it, and got lots of compliments of how cool it looks.

Complaints:
The lower reciever cracks. It is time for everyone to realize that it is a consumable part. On samoon, (ghk's retailor) they lowered the price of a new lower to $15 instead of $40 because of this issue. It is a PAIN IN THE BUTT to take out all the parts in the lower and reinstall them into a new one as the selector switch uses a 1mm allen key to take off. I havn't gotten a chance to find one, but a friend installed my new reciever. You might beable to gorilla glue your reciever back together to fix it, and sand down some edges, but there is a way that can atleast help stop it.

1. Get epoxy,
2. Fill the back of the lower reciever (where it has reinforcement plastic thingys)
3. Use a buffer tube adapter with the stock, as it cracks easier with the stock folded.

I gave this a 3/5 but it would've been a 5/5 if not for the lower reciever. I would honestly buy another one but if you want one make sure you find a tech that can replace the lower for you if you are not very diy inclined.

"This gun is absolutly amazing. It has an amazing build quality for a polymer, it shoots great with propane and .25 gram bb's. And the kick is absolutly amazing, it kicks atleast twice as hard as a 22 lr.

About nine games in i found out the problem that just destroys your gun. It irritated me so much because i kept my gun in great condition but the main default is the gun is all polymer. So because the gun has so much recoil it split my lower reciever right behind the fire selector. This mad me so mad so just a for warning, other than that the gun is amazing!

Pros:
Hark kick
Shoots great/Hard
Compact
Great build
Loud
No Wobble
Very accurate
Great range

Cons:
Lower reciever splits....

"yes the gun is awesome but you can get more the a month out of the gun before your lower receiver starts to crack that another 50 down you replace it and again i had to replace 3 lowers already in 3 month and i only play around 3 times a month
