In several online stores it is now possible to pre-order the new version of the VFC replica of the HK MP5 submachine gun. Manufactured under license from Umarex, replicas have been available on the market for years, but in this version, designated as Gen.2, several changes have been made. For example, a new bolt carrier was used to increase recoil and the mechanism that detects if the magazine is empty was modified. The biggest novelty, however, is the new trigger mechanism offering the burst firing mode. Thanks to this, four settings could appear on the receiver: safe - semi - burst - auto, which in combination with a simple grip and a double-sided safety/selector switch, with markings in the form of pictograms, and of licensed HK markings, make for an excellent replica of the MP5A5 (1974).

The receiver is made of stamped steel, the steel magazine holds 30 BBs. The muzzle velocity around 380 fps. Processing of orders is planned for the beginning of June.
