Tested by Ed

I've wanted the VFC MP5 A5 for ages and finally pulled the trigger at about $399 from RedWolf. Straight out of the box it's heavy in a good way, the stock is rock solid, and the whole thing feels very, very solid and ergonomic. The mag fit is tight but seats solid, and I was pleasantly surprised to find 14mm counterclockwise threads hidden in the muzzle for a tracer or suppressor. I haven't chronoed or fired it yet, that's for the full review, but first impressions are very, very strong. I plan to run it stock for a while, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
