The Heckler & Koch MP5 is one of my favorite guns. It shows up in almost every cover operation movies. And it's always exciting to watch. The MP5 comes in a number of variants. My favorite is the silenced version, which probably won my heart in the Rainbow Six video games on the PC. So once I have gotten into airsoft, naturally, I have wanted the JG M5-S6 silenced MP5 airsoft gun. But, due to one thing or another, I never have gotten the JG M5-S6 until recently. The photo below shows the airsoft replica of the silenced MP5.
Although the name seems to indicate that it is a replica of the of the MP5-SD6, techically, it is actually not the case. If you refer to the Wikipedia page on the Heckler & Koch MP5, you'll see that it is actually a replica of the "MP5SD3: Retractable buttstock, "SEF" trigger group, integrated suppressor."
The JG M5-S6 airsoft gun comes in a nice cardboard box as shown in the photo below. A huge stick is pasted onto the left side. It's pretty much impossible to peel off the sticker without destroying the box. I suspect that it is covering a trademark that it infringed upon.
Upon opening the box, you can see that the MP5 airsoft gun is nicely packed in the photo below. All of the accessories are in boxes.
After unpacking the gun and the accessories, we see, in the photo belo, the package includes MP5 high-cap magazine, instruction manual, 8.4v battery, and charger. What is not shown in the photo below is the airsoft cleaning rod.
The photo below shows the specification for these accessories. The AC/DC adapter model JG-TY02 provides 8.4v with a maximum current of 250mA. This AC adapter is for 8.4v batteries. It's not clear whether it can charge 7.2v batteries or not. I suggest you don't take a chance on that.
The included 8.4v battery pack provides 1100 mAh of capacity. The included BB is 0.2g, but really is not enough for it to be much use.
The JG M5-S6 is mainly made out of polymer (plastic). However, it really feels sturdy in the hands. If I have not known that it was plastic beforehand, without examining the gun, I would have thought that it might be made out of metal. In fact, the weight of the JG M5-S6 is quite heavy for a gun that is made out of plastic. Perhaps it is because it contains numerous metal parts.
The left side of the receiver, shown below, has the mode selector switch. It provide three modes: safe, semi-auto, and full automatic. The bright red shows excellent contrast against the black receiver. But I wonder how easy it is for the enemy to spot on the battlefield. You can also see a sling attachment forward of the receiver.
The right side of the receiver, shown below, has the same mode selector switch. This airsoft gun provide ambidextrous support. A waring label show the following message:
The magazine eject switch is right in front of the trigger guard. In addition, there is magazine release on the right side of the receiver, much like the M4 carbine. The magazine release on the right side springs back. But the magazine release on the front of the trigger guard doesn't. I'm not sure if it is suppose to or not.
