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

"Not sure if this gun is still in production so this is a quick review.
*Precise and reliable. I keep it lubricated and it works fine.
*All polymer body, which means it's extremely lightweight. Just don't bang around on it too much to avoid cracks.
*Unparalleled recoil. It's lightweight so all that blowback energy just kicks into you. Everyone I let use this thing gets a huge smile on their face. This also means that you gotta dial in your optics cuz you aint seein where that BB goes when your gun is shaking.
*Loud cracking sound when fired
*Mags are a bit expensive but can hold just under 40 rnds. HOWEVER, you need to file open the feeder lips so normal sized BBs will slip through. Feeder lips will crack open after some use otherwise.
*There's a carbine conversion kit out there if you want to up FPS for outdoor range, but the accuracy of the standard barrel still lets you land hits from decently far away.
*I ended up buying a second one after years of use because IDK what I'd do without this.
* Recommended if you you want a good sensory shooting experience while still having an accurate gun, so long as you don't mind maintaining a gas blowback gun.

"Great cheap gbb airsoft gun.
I got this gun cuz I wanted to have some fun with friends and would lend him that gun...but now I wanna use it and let him have my gun, very sturdy plastics and metal internals, could take a 20 foot fall like a champ and work fine. i think the only bad thing about it is that the button to fold the stock is a bit hard to press in but that should be no problem. and the muzzle is pretty big but that also doesn't matter in a gun just looks large. and the last thing is that it is alittle on the smaller side and is close to a pdw but its good for short and medium ranges. everything else does work like a real gun, nothing is loose or rattling, fitted nice and tight. plenty of rails for modularity. it does shit with a bad mag tho but you can still use it fine the only reason i think its bad is because its co2 carriage fed and is hard and slow to reload them things, but has a good 5 mags of ammo until it runs out. you can buy the green gas mags and thats what im going to do to save on time. all in all 82/100 gun

"This is GHK's "budget gbbr". However, for it being a budget gun, it competes with almost every gbbr out there. If you're not looking to pay the heavy price tag of their m4s or AKs, the G5 will suit your needs almost just as well as those other 2 in many aspects.

Pros:
-Very lightweight, which is good for long game days and fatigue.
-Magazine capacity is misleading, I could only ever get 30 rounds max instead of the advertised 40. However, this is overshadowed by amazing gas efficiency. I can get 2 mags out of these magazines even in winter, and 3 to 4 in summer.
-Lightweight Magazines (The new gmags, previous G5 mags were quite heavy.)
-Accuracy is exceptional and can be easily upgraded with aftermarket parts. Personally, though, the hopup and barrel are perfectly fine, and I don't see a need to upgrade until they break.
-Heavy HEAVY recoil. Seriously this thing kicks, and makes shooting it never get old. (This can be a con as well though see below)
-Completely ambidextrous. The charging handle requires some disassembling to switch, but thats fine because if you're right-handed you won't be switching it anyway.
-The stock iron sights are pretty good as well.

Cons:
-Plastic Body. Its a very strong and sturdy polymer, but if you're going for realism this gun is for sure not for you.
-The Infamous G5 Crack. Even the V2 G5's can get this crack. It can be easily avoided though by always shouldering the weapon, and never shooting with the stock folded. To ensure it doesn't crack, you can do the "epoxy mod" look it up on youtube or the internet because I personally haven't done it.
-If you're a big person, the G5 can feel quite small and underwhelming. (could be a pro as well)
- The Charging Handel can break, as it is polymer as well. There are aftermarket steel/metal charging handles to choose from though, but do be careful with the stock charging handle if you plan on keeping it stock.
-Magazine are expensive. $60 each here on evike, which can destroy anyone's wallet. I think you need atleast 3-4 mags to be able to perform well enough for a long period of time.
