GSG-5 .22 Carbine: Subgun for the Masses

If you're not put off by the $500 price tag and dig the MP5 sub-machine gun then cool GSG-5 is for you. It is a quality duplication of the look, feel, heft, and mode of operation of the MP5 SD (of sorts). It's now lightweight at almost 7 lbs but it duplicates it's original's weight. The pistol version, mimicking the MP5 PDW, is a bit lighter and features a much shorter barrel, flash hider, and no stock. Upsides to both GSGs include a light double-action type trigger, quality construction, reliability, accuracy, a 20 round well-made magazines, and availability of factory accessories. While I don't have trigger time on the GSG, it is reported to be a high quality and reliable gun that is super fun. Downsides, at least for me, are the heavier weight, the fixed stock which tends to loosen under fire, and the expense. For my money I think a tricked out 10/22 is very hard to beat. But these are currently selling extremely well and are hard to find. If you want one, get it now before it's made illegal but some ridiculous and worthless law.

Correction: Meant to say GSG-5 not 9 at the end.
