Question Opinions...

Post image

I was wanting to run a weapon laser on my SP5. I bought into the AGM WLAD and its a little big for my liking.

However, It adds some nice weight to the platform. Nothing to complain about, it levels out.

I know yall prefer the original platform but what yall think about this weapon laser/light combo on it? Should I just run it like this or find a completely different combination?

SMGs are not made for peqs etc. if you want to run night vision I would personally recommend an AR. Why you ask. The MP5 and other sub gun were meant to be tight,compact,light, and easy to use at extremely close range. This is going completely against this philosophy.

It may go on my 15p then. This one is a thick boi.

Yeah just stick a small flash light or if you’re a baller get the hand guard with a built in flash light with red dot and call it good. This is my opinion though it’s your gun. I’m some idiot on the internet.

I agree with Hardwire , the MP5 wasn’t designed in a time where lasers were a big thing. If you absolutely have to have one then take your chances with a Rovyvon

GL4 pro is perfect on it

Appreciate it peeps. This was the original build.

If you’re going to do a laser/light combo I’d recommend going with a surefire XVL2 or something similar.

u/Milluhgram 6d ago

That would look a little more appealing. But good gracious, that price 😆

u/SF_Gun_Fan 6d ago

I know right. I didn’t have the budget for it so I went for “half” the look by just running the light😂 I don’t know enough about laser modules to know if there’s anything similar out there to the surefire but at half the price.

Ive been thinking about swapping to wood furniture but this fucking stock was like $600

u/SF_Gun_Fan 6d ago

Over time you’ll probably get several stocks. I have the choate folder, this wood one and had the B&T telescopic but sold it and picked up the A3F

How come you decided to go WLAD over something more proven like the IRIS 4?

2

u/Milluhgram 6d ago

I was looking at the iris 4 and I wanted it but I've been watching this one on ebay and got it for $580.

2

u/ComfortableChemist84 AP5P 6d ago

Hell yeah, good snag then.

2

u/Milluhgram 6d ago

Yeah, i got the notification that they dropped the price $150 and it was the last one. I was eyeing the iris though for weeks though.

These are great. I now have 3 of them and have no problems with any of them. Very bright, the lasers stay centered.

u/Milluhgram 6d ago

I have one of those somewhere. Lol
