Description

All government trade-ins are fully functional but aesthetic conditions vary. All used items are sold as is with no returns.

The GSG-5 is a semi-automatic rimfire carbine chambered in .22 LR that mimics the look, weight, and controls of the iconic Heckler & Koch MP5. Manufactured by German Sport Guns and imported by American Tactical, it features a 16.25-inch barrel, a 22-round magazine capacity, and traditional MP5-style sights.

History & Lawsuit

• Release: Launched in 2007 as an affordable rimfire plinker styled after the MP5.
•
The Lawsuit: Because the original GSG-5 looked and functioned so identically to the real MP5, Heckler & Koch filed a trademark lawsuit.
•
The Redesign: Production of the original GSG-5 was halted, and it was eventually replaced by the GSG-522, which featured minor aesthetic and structural changes to clear legal hurdles.

Performance & Ownership Tips

• Ammo Choice: It performs best with high-velocity .22 LR ammunition; standard velocity rounds can cause sluggish cycling or failure-to-extract issues. [1]
•
The "HK Slap": While it mimics the MP5 layout, the charging handle is not built to withstand abuse; aggressive HK slaps can break the original pot-metal charging handle. [1]
•
Availability: Original GSG-5 models are discontinued
