We cant really chose which gun you want. We dont know how you think. The internals are all the same. Which one looks good to you is what it really comes down to.

Im just asking for other peoples opinion. what one is more modable, does the sd5 shoot more accurate. Just some basics I want to know and read from other players with the guns. I know I know look at other forums. Well i have been and there isnt much on just the guns themselves.

Sd5 probably has a longer barrel but in looks I like the A4 better.

I think the SD5 is superior in every way except length.

Just my opinion.

Go to a game, get age-verified, and look at the MP5 models when you are there. Then choose.
They are identical internally, as you were told. So pick what you think looks cool.

agree w/ greylocks on this one. They are pratically identical in performance, so it comes down to your preferance in looks. But dont judge it online, hit up a game and try both out.
Personally, I prefer the A4...the SD just looks weird.

I prefer the A4 over the SD. Yes they are both the same internally, but You can always easily add and remove a silencer on the A4. That and I think the SD is ugly, but that's just me.

I think the barrel length between the two is the same. Not sure CA compared to TM, but the TM comes with a 229mm inner barrel. Just recently I cut and added a 330mm barrel to my SD, sits a couple mm inside the supressor, and go figure, it's more accurate and even knocked my fps up by another 20fps!

yIf your looking for opinions and advice you should take it from black orchid, she helped me out when i was looking for an Mp5, and in my opinion very talented and knowledable on the subject. Yeah and the SD is uglier than a normal one, just the look is all, i have something about integrated silencers.

My MP5 started as an A5 with retractable stock, I added an M4 Slither Stock to it (looks awesome and works great), then bought an entire SD front end and put it on. To me, the A series looks too police, but the SD look more military/SpecOps, which is why I went for the SD front end and have stuck with it for over a year & a half. Still love it, to the point that I sold my A front end last year.

You know what... I wouldn't pick up the Mp5 unless you have a second AEG.
The range on that V2 Gearbox is not that far because the A4 has a short barrel. If anything you might wanna upgrade to a longer barrel + silencer.
Also the V2 gearbox isn't as reliable as the V3. So Your best bet for your first AEG be go for the G36C or the AK's. The G36C looks liek a Mp5 on Steriods. Foldable stock making it good for both CQB and Outdoors.

Still no full after all that feeding? :smack:

Just go with the one you like on looks. Full metal body is definitely wise choice especially since it's just a bit more pricey, but well worth it.
