The MP5 A5 is great gun with the classic SAS/SWAT team style, the small design makes it ideal for CQB (Close Quarters Battle) but still is a favourable weapon for woodland skirmishing. The metal stock is sometimes complained as it wobbles slightly but as many before me have said 'get over it, it's a toy'. With its EG700 it is able to pack quite a punch with an 8.4v battery giving it quite a ROF There is a problem in that it holds a small battery but I find that I can easily have a good days play with only one or two extra charges, but then again I am not insane on the trigger......If you really can't stand having a small battery then a larger fore grip is available but it doesn't exactly compliment the guns looks, alternatively you can get some large to small connector leads and put a battery bag on the bottem of the fore grip.
There is a myth between the newer generation of players that 'a small barrel means a bad range', this however is untrue, the accuracy is affected by the barrel size not the range but again the accurate range is quite satisfactory, evidently the accuracy will not be as good as the G3 SG1's but then again the A5 is half the size. It is one of the few marui AEG's that can take a serious punishment without danger of damaging the internal mechanism. The weight of the A5 measures about 1.5-2.0 lbs, which is quite light but rather useful when running around all day but for some weight just adds to the fun! To sum up the MP5 A5 is a great gun to have whether you are the newest of newbies or a 'combat hardened veteran'.
