Pictures of new SRC Steel MP5
 

It's hard to see the weld marks on the heavy duty all metal upper receiver from photos this far away - but trust that these are some of the most realistic and accurately weighing MP5's on the market today

A steel Mp5 is sick but the only real difference is you get a solid top reciever continuous through the cocking tube. I personally like the old design because it's easier to change parts if you just get a metal cocking tube to complement your metal reciever.

Unless I am wrong and this Mp5 is designed like the real Mp5s where it's a giant piece of stamped steel (instead of two halves of screwed together cast zinc or aluminum like standard airsoft Mp5s or the real steel GSG-9) which is then folded together and welded.

it's folded and welded.

Then I want one! I hope their GBB Mp5s are made in the same way. Who would have thought SRC would be innovators one day?

I've been waiting for the SRC MP5 for sooooo long

We had a couple in the store i work at and there amazing. Our arms officer has a real one and he said it feels exactly like the real thing. Fits real steel parts too which is pretty good. Performance wise they're shooting about 300-310 fps and not sure about r.o.f cos we only have semi in nz.

Man i want one of these steel babies. Someone get some!!! The top right of the box says Gen2. Is it talking about the version 2 gearbox or is it only a Gen2 of the version 2 gearbox?

It's the SRC Gen II gearbox which has slightly inferior parts to the Gen 3s (bearing spring guide, bearing bushings, m120 spring, etc).

They will be doing gen3 ones soon though i think
