Common sight on MP5

veilside5 · December 20th, 2007, 13:02

I'm trying to find MP5s with red dot sight but I can't find any.

What are the popular/common RDS on MP5?

CDN_Stalker · December 20th, 2007, 13:07

I have a few of the cheap Tasco RDS sights, two of which are mounted on my MP5s, and they work really well and look decent.

you are going to see EoTech Holosights..

seems to be the trend now...

Ok, sorry my questions wasn't clear! I'm looking for what real steel users use on their MP5. Let's say, what kind of scope SWAT team will be using?

I guess Eotech would be the best answer, but anybody seen anything else?

Aimpoints were the previous popular choice. But just about any sight has been seen on any gun, so just go with what tickles your fancy.

CDN_Stalker · December 20th, 2007, 13:49

Ya, you were kinda vague.

I would stay away for magnified sights, since they stray from canon, but even there, why not...

Yeah you are right. I've never understand why people would put a magnified scope on a MP5. Not only in airsoft, but in real life too. Come on, a 9mm SMG isn't a sniper. It's a CQB weapon. So for my MP5, I'll probably use my Aimpoint replica and eventualy buy an EoTech replica. Thanks all!

There are some variation setup as counter snipers, but it goes against the traditionnal MP5 role.

9mm is still a decent caliber.

Aim-point would look nice.

Aimpoint with a low mount, keeps your aiming sightline nice and snug with the body. If you're using a face mask, go with a claw mount or high rail mount (just don't put it on backwards)

You'd be amazed what kind of accuracy and range you can get from a 9mm in a GOOD quality SMG.
