GSG5 - shoots .22 ammo... thats about the best reason to buy a gun these days. thats the difference between having fun for hours or having fun for minutes.

I know nothing about the Ruger.

I have a GSG-5 rifle version, and it is fun as hell. Shooting the .22lr is definitely a plus, because it is cheap. I bought 300 rounds of .22lr for the same price as one 50rd box of .45. The rifle is a blast, lots of cool accessories, very well built and extremely accurate.
I love mine. Well worth it, and they are hard to keep in stock.

I put the retractable stock, tactical hand guard and fore grip on mine.
I bought some extra 22rd mags and I want to put some optics on it.
Definitely a good buy.

I like the hand guard/rail system you have there.
What is that?
Is that for an MP5? Because I think some of the MP5 parts will fit on the GSG-5.
Very nice....I am glad I bought mine.

I think on the thread he started on it, he states it's for an Airsoft model of some sort.

No brainer; GSG5.

It's an imported "EBR" - to be extinct once OBiden takes over.

And if you don't have an AK yet, don't wait much longer.
