I was expecting lackluster performance for outdoor use. Would work in indoor games. Honestly, they should start a Marui Europe company. Japan standard just does not cut it anymore.. Why would you pay 500 euros for a gun that is on par with an 80 euro Cyma. Hmm... Well maybe collecting reasons. Yeah I know skill of the player is more important than the guns they use, but still... If they'd care for the market outside Japan (which they don't) they would become the greatest manufacturer again. Other than their GBB pistols, I don't ever see myself buying a TM.

TM don’t give a monkeys about anything than their domestic market. If people are buying them for performance reasons then they are making a mistake. I’ve got a couple of CYMA MP5s and the TM is light years ahead in build quality, features and immersion. It depends on what the buyer is looking for.

Nice content.

@@AnvilAirsoftTV true. Im a canadian and I buy tm for their build quality, realistic-ish controls and the aftermarket performance. Love my mws mk18 and really want this mp5. Sold out instantly on both shipments when they arrived to our shores 😑

Thanks

It’s great fun to use. More to come on it.

Thankyou. We have some restrictions but nothing like Germany.

@@AnvilAirsoftTV yeah sounds good. I am into Airsoft since 2003 and it went even more worse with the years. Since big Players like "Umarex" and "GSG" got licence from HK there is no way to get an HK clone Airsoft into county - you can only buy Umarex crap so there is no way to get a Marui HK gun

Thanks! Full review to come as well.

I’ve said it before, If people are buying TMs just for the performance they are wasting their money. There’s many things to like about them but the cost to performance ratio is not one of them.

I’m sure Tom will mention it in his review there’s nothing pot metal about the new mp5. Its probably the best aeg I’ve ever had come through my doors. It’s the next next generation. And if you can fit a spring your self it costs 9.99 for a spring to upgrade that low power. Everything else is icing on the cake that I wouldn’t want to comment on to much, it’s personal preference and usually heavily influenced by budgets and preference. But the spring upgrade, just based on people’s constants complaints about tms low power is a must, it’s the only must do upgrade. Which is usually followed by just as many shouting “no need to upgrade, leave it alone”. Truth is it’s a premium product not designed for our country, your either passionate about it or not. Other wise there’s plenty of other brands specifically made for the uk market that are keen to take your money instead. Not offering the features of this mp5 of course. This one is like no other.

I’m going to have to cover what ‘pot metal’ refers to at some point :) I’ll cover this is the review too but I’m happy enough with the power as is. I’m not sure why we insist on a 9mm pistol caliber replica having the same power levels as a 5.56mm Carbine

@@AnvilAirsoftTV taken in context it’s a negative connotation. Regardless of what pot metal technically is. Ie generally cast items made from flowed zinc or aluminium. Having disassembled both the bolt and tm mp5s I can safely say it’s night and day yet the bolt is the one with the “steel stamped” upper, supposedly better. The cast upper allowed them to be much more accurate in its shape internally allowing for over all a better fit especially on repeated rebuilds. I highly encourage stripping it down, it’s a joy. And dat fire selector click … that’s gbb levels of luxury click. Regards power, I mean if real steel could have 9mm that acted like 9mm but hit as hard as 556 I imagine they wouldn’t need 556 any more. Airsoft’s essentially the same, you get faster speed to target, can utilise heavier ammo, which gives tighter groupings and potentially more range if enough lift is applied with the power boost that negate the heavier Ammos deficits, and all it costs is 9.99 for a power spring. At that point I would have to say if people are still arguing, then it’s just for the sake of it. Ie the world is flat levels of arguing. Obviously it’s complex, what if the person isn’t able to fit the spring them selves. But in my opinion If people are truly honest, it’s because of the costs, not any personal beliefs that low power is better or the low power airsoft god they pray too, it’s just cost. I mean if we started doing free power upgrades, how many would say no? And in my humble opinion no one on the forums etc should really be judging other people in airsoft about whether they should or shouldn’t, do or do not spend the money. Just lay out the facts. That’s all you can do.

And ofc: the same BB’s I use in NL. Bio bbs are mandatory

I generally do a lot more than just an unboxing :)

I love to when Thérèse is range test

It is what it is mate :)

You might get a few more metres. I’m very used to shooting in moderate crosswinds now. We had a cross/tail wind at about 7mph on the day so it would all probably just cancel out.

I just watch the grass! :) 7mph tail/cross wind on that day. Maybe I should do a graphic at the beginning like 9hole reviews do?

@@AnvilAirsoftTV I do like their format

Hey thanks

We did a shorter test as part of the total recoil video

@@AnvilAirsoftTV I'll try. Thanks. 😎

small 7.4v LiPo, the sort of thing that you would put in a stock tube

@@AnvilAirsoftTV easy enough. Thanks for the fast response. How are you enjoying the MP5?

I sold it a while back. Couldn’t get enough mags to make it viable for skirmishing and put the money into other projects for the channel.

I shot a real one a long long time ago!

Thanks Daniel

Might want to check in with me first before advertising on my channel.

@@AnvilAirsoftTV you right sorry.

It is pretty awesome

for consistent reliability I would go with TM. More expensive though.

Probably one of the CYMA platinum range

You make a brief appearance! :)

Yes thanks, back on my road bike, eating a lot better and drinking a lot less, 20kg off so far and another 10 or so to go.

@@AnvilAirsoftTV Well done, keep it up sir!

@@AnvilAirsoftTV drinking less ks definitely something I should be doing too. Need to get on the gunisthenics when I can find space and time for regular training

Alcohol, lack of exercise and sugar/carbs are the killers

Yes places like eagle 6 have a set of upgrades for them

@@AnvilAirsoftTV thank you.🙂

Haven’t had any trouble with up to .32g BBs so far.

That the way we define it. It’s also known as battlesight range. It’s non-sensical to use part of our definition to then criticise our own definition.

Been running .32g for years with pretty much everything and no trouble.
