MP5K or M11?

[box]

Not until recently have I found it nessissary(sp?) to buy a gas auto or AEG. It wasnt nessissary because there were to places to play. But with this new place opening up in waterford, I need a CQB gun. I have about 200 bucks right now, and I would like some insight on the two. I have heard the MAC-11 is a very good gas blow back and it very reliable. I havent really read anything about the MP5K, but I know its a helluva lot more money. So if anyone would give me some useful info, it would be much appreciated.

Well,

I can't vouch for either, as I haven't used either in a skirmish. However, one thing about the cost... although the MP5K costs more, you'll end up spending more on the MAC-11 because you have to purchase gas and silicon lube. (Of course this is void if one of the guns you purchase decides to go Hap-Hazard and bust on you... that might change the costs a bit :

depends what you're purchasing. i can vouch for both weapons. The KSC Mac-11 is a wonderful gas blowback SMG. for that 200, you can get the weapon and 2 additional magazines. or you can get the MP5K for around 200ish. the battery will add more, as will a charger and more mags.

of course, you have to purchase gas to use the Mac...so the MP5K is more expensive to buy at first, but cheaper over time.

but nothing scares people like the 1100 RPM of the Mac.

Read up on the maruzen gas mp5k, it has a lot of reliability issues. There's plenty of information on it at airsoftzone and airsoftplayers.

As for the M11, if you're going to get one, get the KWA, it has a metal bolt, so is less damage prone than the KSC counter part, and still at a better value than the Maruzen (although that seems to be on sale at WGC, so maybe that could be a better deal. Check it out on a larger forum, the one listed above).

The Maruzen requires 134a. i would not recomend putting green gas in it...

i've heard of no less than 4 bolts being shattered in the MP5Ks...and i havn't seen any metal bolts to replace...

JDL, i believe he was talking about the AEG MP5K but im not sure. at the one MiA game i have gone to i shot a MAC-11 for like 2 minutes and liked it but i have actually owned a TM MP5K. the MP5K is a great gun but the range is a bit short (not a prob for CQB). i wouldnt have sold my K if i didnt need $ for my custom SR16

So how much should i expect to pay (and where are the best deals for them) for a Mac-11 with a couple mags and gas and a tm mp5k with battery, charger, and 1 hi cap and 1 regular mag?

[MWC Retail]

i payed like $225 or something from UNC for the MP5K, battery, and extra std. mag

A buddy of mine who plays airsoft on our team purchased a KSC Mac-11 and he put roughly 30 mags through it and it busted on him. The bolt lost an inner piston (I think thats what It was but im not exactly sure) and the bolt peice was not replacable.

[Knief]

hence, the KWA over the KSC.

The latest KSC version, with the magnesium bolt, is the same as the KWA.

My opion is the MP5K but i think it really depends on what you like and remeber the the MP5k might be more up front but with the M-11 u will have to buy gas so it will probubly cost more over time

I decided to go with the MP5k. Im gettin it with a battery and charger, 1 hi cap and 1 50rd mag. Shipped from airsoftshop.com is 305.50$. Sounds like a pretty decent deal (shipping cost 60 bucks tho )
