Under The Gun MP5 v1 Review
I woke up one day and checked usual airsoft websites and boom! UTG MP5 WILL BE RELEASED SOON… Price 150 dollars. I found out information about it and seemed very promising. I was thinking of pre-ordering one but I was lucky not to because when it was finally released, the price dropped down to 100 dollars. I waited and debated weither I should buy it or not. The following day, Airsoft Atlanta had a one-day sale of UTG MP5’s. Each was labeled at 80 bucks each. I quickly ordered two. It came in a styrofoam box that said Accushot clearly. The packaging in my sense was terrible but I purchased what I wanted. For one box, I received a UTG MP5, battery, sling, scope mount, rod, some tools and extra screws, charger and a stock. Pretty good packages deal in one, but later I learn that the sling and full stock are useless. The full stock has a taped in cement block into the compartment and UTG had no wires leading to the back of the gun. From now on here, I will show pictures of the guns, sadly I did not take pictures of the box, and the two useless items I stated. Neither did I take a picture of the scope mount.
Looks
I have to admit, the gun feels very solid. The ABS plastic is similar to my KWA Glock 23F plastic, possibly even better.
As you can see, this is the annoying switch that everyone has been complaining about in version 1. You can see scratch marks and the selector switch is actually in safety mode even though it looks like its in shot mode.
UTG had some cheap facial plastic glued on but it is still very durable and completes the mp5 as a realistic replica.
Terrible manufacturing of the pin, I already lost the metal stapler to hold it firmly, removing the metal staple actually made it easier for me to remove the pin.
This is the barrel and it is metal not plastic, on the right is the hop up unit.
This is a closer picture of hop up unit. Move the arrow so that it is pointing left decreases the hop up as pointing the arrow toward yourself increases the hop up.

Assessories
The accessories I believe could have been better made by UTG. As I do not show in the picture, the sling seemed durable to me but numerous people reported it to have snapped on them. The stock is a bonus for those who know how to rewire the battery to the stock. The full stock is definitely well made. UTG MP5 is compatible with most AEG parts. Stores have said that the hop up is a little different by the way.
Here are few of accessories included:
The cleaning/jam rod
Here is the side of the magazine, it looks like two mp5k magazines clamped together but they are actually one help together. These hold bb’s on either side.
Magazine is operated by a dial at the bottom that proves to be a terrible design and tends to misfeed in full auto.
These are the 1100Mah Kan Batteries that are same thing as NiMH batteries including a standard wall charger.
Performance (Yet to be updated)
I will update this with a clip later on.
So far, the UTG has been great to me. The only thing faulty is the plan of cheapness. The magazines are next to useless except for fact they fire flawlessly in semi-auto. The groupings are not that great but good enough for you to shoot a man-sized figure easily from 20 yards away. I will update this information later. The groupings are probably 4-6 inches from 20 yards away. But, so far there has not been a single let down in the gearbox. The gun would jam once in a while but all u have to do is fire in full auto. I currently use Matrix bb’s.
I’ll update later with a clip and groupings.
