I was mildy interested in getting one at first, but after reading up on ar15.com and seeing the numerious problems and failures, even splitting barrels I determined it is basically a $100 gun for $500, that just "looks" cool. It seems to be in the quality neighbouhood of a lorcin saturday night special. I'd rather buy a ruger 10/22 for $150.
@classyhobo60 I put off getting one cause I've heard it has issues with some ammo. Have you experienced this or is it like the Sig 522 and runs well with everything?
damn..the camera is louder than the rifle....u should really look into a suppressor for that 1970s camera.....lol...j/k....very nice rifle....looks bad ass
Don't think you needed the earphones on when shooting .22 outdoors, or were you shooting super-sonic ammunition? I wear headphones anyway when shooting outdoors but most of the other people i know don't bother. Does this rifle have a full-auto option? Because as long as it hasnt i may be able to get one in the UK, thanks, great vid btw ;)
Not hard to tell that you have never owned a firearm ..... LOL! .22lr with no ear protection eh? Go ahead and try it..Also It would be called sub-sonic ammo, not supersonic...sigh.. And no it does not come in full auto and you would have to check you local gun and import laws for any kind of firearm.. Not on Youtube.. My advice would be to attend a novice gun safety class before you do anything.
@Toyman07 Haven't I? And what i was getting at is if it was super-sonic, he'd need to have ear protection, but i shoot 22 outside all the time without ear protection and i know that it's perfectly safe, i wouldn't attempt it indoors mind, it's bearable but not for extensive use, but then again, i shoot sub-sonic, CCI Standard if you must know, sorry for the confusion :/ Oh yeah, and btw i don't need a gun safety class :P
i've shot a 22 sig once and it jammed a lot, im more of a 9mm kind of guy, but i am looking for a 22 rifle and i read about ammo and the gold remingtons i've heard are the worst. the sig i shot was using that value 500 golden bullets. i suggest you use CCI
@blaziankhmer are u taling about the sig 522?? the .22 version of the sig 556? cuz i was just thinking abut buyin it but after seeing this idk... wat were your impressons on it?
@nick097 it was the sig mosquito, so now i wondering if i should even get any .22 lr at all. ammo is too expensive nowadays, need something to kill time with. but i am very tempted on buying a 10/22 but will probably not like the week cycling of a 22
great vid! i bought one of these about a month ago. would you happen to know if there are any alternate iron sights for this rifle? im a little displeased with the sights that came with it. im more of an open sights guy and the drum sight seem really cheesy and the front post is extremely thick, making it hard to get pin-point precision. thanks!
@zinger313 That's it. There is one that's been recalled because it's illegal. It does make it slightly quieter than the 10-22. At least from the shooter standpoint. I love mine. Bought it for my 16 year old daughter on the same day I bought a SEIGA 7.62 for myself. Well my daughter likes the 7.62 better so I traded her. She loves busting rocks up on cliff faces. I like drilling holes in holes.
The GSG-5 is selling for about what now? I bought one last year just for the reason of hopefully making some money on it one day. I think i gave right at 500 bucks for it. They werent in production long at all. I guess we will see in about 10 yrs
What a shame that the toy looking magazine kills the look of a otherwise nice MP5 clone. Even airsoft MP5's have replicated the magazine better. The only GSG flaw I have found yet; otherwise a realiable fun to shoot 22 sub gun.
Rules for firearm ownership vary by State and Country. Where I live all that is needed is to compete a standard 4473 form. Check with your local gun shop. They should be up to speed on the rules in your area.
well heres why i asked i am deciding between a gsg and a 10/22 with the arch angel mod the ruger will be cheaper than this but this seems more fun... im on the fence about the two would u push me to one side
@MrLoveslittlekids Tough choice... Do you have the opportunity to shoot either one before you buy? The 10/22 will most likely be a bit more accurate if that matters but the GSG has the cool factor going for it.
@MrLoveslittlekids I suppose value is determined by the owner. There are several alternatives to those wanting high capacity .22 caliber rifles; the MP-15 22 from Smith and Wesson, the Sig 522 from Sig Arms, the Ruger 10/22 and the GSG products.
From my perspective, you get a semi auto .22 for fun plinking. None of the above rifles have any other useful purpose i.e. self defense, hunting serious target shooting . I hate to be evasive but value is a very illusive word.
I have owned one of these. The look the part if you want to be army boy but they are SHITE! It would not hit a barn door. It jammed all the time. The construction is monkey metal and I hear they break easy. I bought mine as new after about a thousand rounsyou could see a lot of wear. But I do agree 22lr is not to be laughed at any tit that says 22 is rubbish let me put a few rounds in him and see what he says.
@Semjasasslave You're kind of a punk aren't you. You have NEVER owned one of these, but since you have discovered you can jump on the internet and make any sort of comments you please you're just having fun pretending to be the expert. Be assured NOBODY takes your ridiculously worded comment seriously. It, and you are both seen for what you are...a goober trying to be noticed in the world.
For all customers who own a GSG 5 or GSG AK 47 or for future customers who are interested in the new GSG 522, the GSG 1911 or the new 110 round rotary magazine which will fit to the AK 47, then to the GSG 5 / 522: please have a look at our videoclip GSG 522 / AK 47 /GSG 1911.
you should consider getting a camera tripod for the majority of the review it was kinda twitchy. but i agree this is a great gun and its worth the money.
I don't have one of the GSG-5 but I think I'd rather spend my money on a 10/22, put some bells and whistles on it and spend whats left over buying 5 thousand rounds of ammo and some good reliable magazines. With a good scope dialed in right you have a pretty good zombie killer to use until the threat requires something with more stopping power.
You can unscrew the fake suppressor tube and it will expose the barrell. The fake suppressor is simply a hollow tube the covers the barrel. The rifle will look rather silly without the fake suppressor tube attached.
I've really been looking at this gun, 22LR is very underestimated, i wouldnt mind having this for a Home Defense weapon. At close range this gun would be devestating.
Ok, about the .22, you have to understand that "stopping power" is not the affect that a .22 has when it enters the human, body. a .22 is known to deflect off bones, and bounce all over the inside of a body, those causing extensive damage to organs and tissue. take 5.56 NATO for example, used in M4's M16's ect. All it is is a high power .22 made for going longer distances, with greater accuracy. i wouldn't feel outgunned having a .22 loaded in my house.
If you want to protect your home a .22 would not be a good choice. A fat slow pistol round would be best. You don't want a rifle round that can go through walls and miles and hit someone. I use a 9mm, .40 and .45. Works for me. .22 is a good varmint round out to 150 yards.
Urban Knight is correct. "Stopping Power" is not the idea when thinking of a .22 caliber rifle. If you shoot your enemy in the head with a .22 it will absolutely kill him. Bounce around and scramble his brain. Sorry if i'm being too graphic. I have obviously never shot anyone and don't plan on it unless I have to. But the fact still remains that IF YOU CAN PLACE THE BULLET WHERE YOU WANT TO - you can do a lot of damage with a .22
plus as far as that rifle goes, you could just use it for tactical training. I'm sure that is somewhat - what the manufacturer was going for. That's how I would use it to train courses. So cheap to shoot.
@stlilc4, Thank you, I'm pretty sure the leading caliber for accidental shooting deaths in the United States is the .22 LR, because it's very underestimated, and people view it as a toy. I wouldn't want to be shot by one ;)
Not a big deal that you call it a weapon... guns are weapons. People will comment on absolutely anything the can think of apparently. Good video buddy. I'm looking at getting a GSG-5 myself pretty soon
I have the 1st anniversary edition, and sadly, Ive been having a lot of failure to feeds, and even had a round get stuck in the barrel. Its probably the ammo Im using though. I havent shot it much, so the next batch of ammo I will try something else to see. Unfortunatly, theres like 450 rounds left in the current batch XD
Dispite that, I am very please with its accuracy. Using the stock sights, its almost a point and shoot.
the makers of that gun just got a lawsuit this october & they cant make them anymore or import them cause I think there from germany & its A HK model MP5
It is really up to you. If you do a lot of AR15 shooting and want a similar platform to train with using inexpensive ammo then the Colt or S&S might be the better choice.
How much are you looking to spend? Is this a fun rifle or are you looking for a tack driver? Do you currently own an AR15 style rifle or would you plan to a some point buy an AR upper for the AR lower?
Neat looking gun but the ruger charger beats in just about every way. About about $200 cheaper, much lighter, accepts any mags that fit in a 10/22,and unlike the gsg is still in production with parts being made for it.
The GSG-5 is not for everyone. There are other choices in the .22 caliber market place. I believe the law suit effecting production will be dismissed but we'll have to see. Ultimately, the value of the GSG-5 may increase if it's importation and manufacture are prohibitted. So in the final analysis, to each his own.
It's an okay trigger. The GSG is not a tack driving rifle. It is just a fun nice looking .22 caliber rifle. The trigger is not designed for those wanting MOA accuracy.
It really depends on what you want to do with the rifle. If the M&P gives you the ability to upgrade the stock trigger and MOA shooting is your goal, perhaps the M&P may be a better choice.
If on the other hand you are looking for a fun, cool looking rifle to shoot then the GSG-5 is a good choice.

The stopping power of a .22lr is not good. You would be better off with a rifle that fires a pistol cal bullet like a .45 acp.

Ok, about the .22, you have to understand that "stopping power" is not the affect that a .22 has when it enters the human, body. a .22 is known to deflect off bones, and bounce all over the inside of a body, those causing extensive damage to organs and tissue. take 5.56 NATO for example, used in M4's M16's ect. All it is is a high power .22 made for going longer distances, with greater accuracy. i wouldn't feel outgunned having a .22 loaded in my house.

If you want to protect your home a .22 would not be a good choice. A fat slow pistol round would be best. You don't want a rifle round that can go through walls and miles and hit someone. I use a 9mm, .40 and .45. Works for me. .22 is a good varmint round out to 150 yards.

Dont worry i have my Para GI Expert 1911 for backup :)

It really is, very affordable and reliable :) I would recommend it to anyone
UrbanKnight12 2 years ago
yes..cant go wrong with a .45... that my weapon of choice for home defense..that and a shotgun.

Urban Knight is correct. "Stopping Power" is not the idea when thinking of a .22 caliber rifle. If you shoot your enemy in the head with a .22 it will absolutely kill him. Bounce around and scramble his brain. Sorry if i'm being too graphic. I have obviously never shot anyone and don't plan on it unless I have to. But the fact still remains that IF YOU CAN PLACE THE BULLET WHERE YOU WANT TO - you can do a lot of damage with a .22

plus as far as that rifle goes, you could just use it for tactical training. I'm sure that is somewhat - what the manufacturer was going for. That's how I would use it to train courses. So cheap to shoot.

@stlilc4, Thank you, I'm pretty sure the leading caliber for accidental shooting deaths in the United States is the .22 LR, because it's very underestimated, and people view it as a toy. I wouldn't want to be shot by one ;)
UrbanKnight12 2 years ago 13
@UrbanKnight12 Same here. I've been told they ricochet inside of you and do much more damage than the higher calibers.

Why are you calling it a weapon? Are you using it as a weapon?

You are correct. Force of habit. My appologies.

Not a big deal that you call it a weapon... guns are weapons. People will comment on absolutely anything the can think of apparently. Good video buddy. I'm looking at getting a GSG-5 myself pretty soon

I have the 1st anniversary edition, and sadly, Ive been having a lot of failure to feeds, and even had a round get stuck in the barrel. Its probably the ammo Im using though. I havent shot it much, so the next batch of ammo I will try something else to see. Unfortunatly, theres like 450 rounds left in the current batch XD
Dispite that, I am very please with its accuracy. Using the stock sights, its almost a point and shoot.

I have had excellent results with CCI Minimags. They are a bit more expensive but run flawlessly. You might want to give them a try.
SavageLE2B 2 years ago
@SavageLE2B $8 for 100 doesnt sound too bad. Thanks for the advice.

My pleasure. Please be sure to let me know how they work out for you.

should i get this or a colt 22 cal ar-15
HALE2daKINGbaby 2 years ago
Hale,
It is really up to you. If you do a lot of AR15 shooting and want a similar platform to train with using inexpensive ammo then the Colt or S&S might be the better choice.
SavageLE2B 2 years ago
Savage, should i get an ar-15 lower and a spikes .22 complete upper or go for a gsg5 or a s&w 15-22? Thanks
bmwzr3 2 years ago
bmwzr3,
How much are you looking to spend? Is this a fun rifle or are you looking for a tack driver? Do you currently own an AR15 style rifle or would you plan to a some point buy an AR upper for the AR lower?
SavageLE2B 2 years ago
Neat looking gun but the ruger charger beats in just about every way. About about $200 cheaper, much lighter, accepts any mags that fit in a 10/22,and unlike the gsg is still in production with parts being made for it.
Llepsdog 2 years ago
The GSG-5 is not for everyone. There are other choices in the .22 caliber market place. I believe the law suit effecting production will be dismissed but we'll have to see. Ultimately, the value of the GSG-5 may increase if it's importation and manufacture are prohibitted. So in the final analysis, to each his own.
SavageLE2B 2 years ago
Ruger 10/22 sounds like a better deal to me too, especially with all the aftermarket accessories available for the 10/22

Does it have a quality trigger
Browningabolt7 2 years ago
It's an okay trigger. The GSG is not a tack driving rifle. It is just a fun nice looking .22 caliber rifle. The trigger is not designed for those wanting MOA accuracy.
SavageLE2B 2 years ago
thanks
my choices are the gsg or a s&w m&p15 22
Browningabolt7 2 years ago
It really depends on what you want to do with the rifle. If the M&P gives you the ability to upgrade the stock trigger and MOA shooting is your goal, perhaps the M&P may be a better choice.
If on the other hand you are looking for a fun, cool looking rifle to shoot then the GSG-5 is a good choice.
The opinions on the S&W 15-22 seem to be mixed.
SavageLE2B 2 years ago
how much? I want one. My dad says I can only get a .22 So if I have to get a .22 this would be the one.
