No offense. I like the fact that you can purchase the upper by itsself and slap it on the M-16/AR-15 lower. The 4.68mm round is larger than the 5.56mm(.223 REM) and smaller than the 7.76mm(.308), which makes for a nice mix.
Since the firearm laws are based on the lower, its all good. Sorry if I offend anyone with this message.

What's the MP5 like as a weapon? I've always had a liking for it, but never handled one, handled an SA-80 once at an airshow, deact of course and chained to a board but it was a lot lighter than I was expecting it to be and the scope was very nice too.

MP5's are great SMG's, well balanced. Kind of a pain to clean with the chamber but as long as you keep it in clean shape they are very dependable.

I am an Uzi guy myself.

As a CQC weapon it is excellent. Not as much muzzle rise as the M16, AK47, and the over all stopping power which is expected from a .45 cal. Accuracy isn't the greatest but in the CQC scenerio it isn't important. It is a spray and pray weapon.

A .45 MP5? I have a feeling you are mixing it up with the HK UMP which is available in .45, but IIRC the MP5 is only available in 9x19mm, 10x25mm and .40S&W.
