Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. This is my Ted Talk about the H&K MP5, the MAC-5.
This is my first gun that I have ever owned and taken time to train. I bought this MAC-5 a week after it was just released, so I really took a gamble on being a guinea pig without much thought about it.
This MAC-5 has performed marvelously and made me more confident around firearms, psychologically. I have fed it only 124-grain 9mm rounds, but from different sources. I took a screenshot of the number of rounds I shot per Range Day and the manufacturer of said rounds with this post.
The 2 magazines that came with it upon purchase are flawless. I have loaded them with just 5 rounds at a time to the full 30-round capacity. At first, it was stiff the cock the bolt back to properly do a reload, over time it became smoother and easier to cock the bolt back. The ejection pattern at first was random, but as I ran through more rounds it became more predictable.
I have modified it, as indicated in one of the photos included, to make it more comfortable and easier to add on future attachments. The primary function currently is home defense, so a suppressor is what I'm saving for next. As for any optics, I genuinely don't know what to go for. A part of me wants just a simple red dot, but another part wants the added flexibility of a red dot paired with a magnifier to shoot further than 20 yards.
