The cheese-ball synth music is too funny.

I had my GSG-5 out to the range today and went through 1,000 rounds. It ran like a dream. Thanks Grant!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is my gun safe report: IT'S TOO DAMN COLD OUTSIDE. ;)
Here is a cut and paste of my range report on Jerzee Devil:
Quote:
I had a chance to take out my new GSG-5 & Ruger Single Six today. I stopped by Wal-Mart and for less than $25 I walked out with 1050 rounds of 22lr. I got one Federal 550 bulk pack, which is what I usually buy for my other 22s and then I got a 500 pack of Winchester hollow points as well.
Of the 1050 rounds, my Single Six only got about 50 rounds out of her. She shot straight and true and handled great but single action pistols are a pain to load and unload. I knew this when I got it and do not regret it by any means, but it does mean it gets shot less. B/C of that, I will probably only use Eley Match ammo out of it for now on. Hell, if your only going to shoot 50 rounds and IMO, some of the best ammo is only $5 or so per 50. Why not??
That means of course the other 1,000 rounds got fired out of the GSG-5. Out of 1,000 rounds fired, I only had ONE SINGLE malfunction. That was a bullet that failed to seat properly. When I manually ejected the round, I found its nose marred up. Must have not fed properly. 1 round out of 1,000 rounds. I still can't believe it. I have not had not gone through 1,000 rounds before without 4-5 duds, jams, etc.. with my Ruger Mk III hunter and customized 10/22 EVER and this was using ONLY high capacity mags. I may have expected allot of things out of this gun but reliability isn't one of them. I REALLY surprised me.
THANK GOD for this thing holding open on the last round. I HATE it when guns don't hold open on the last round. It was nice to that you could hear a distinct difference when that bolt didn't return on the last round and know your done.
Accuracy wise, it held really nice groups at both 25 and 50 yards. I like the HK style sight with 4 different options for sight picture. When I began I was shooting slightly high and to the left. I adjusted the windage and got it dead center and but didn't have my manual with me and didn't know how to adjust elevation so I left it shooting slightly high throughout the range session. I have a optics mount on the way but and really torn now as it was refreshing to shoot using open sights, all my damned guns except my Daewoo have high dollar optics. I may leave this one with just open sights. Who knows.
Usually when I go to the range I am full of excitement and when I leave I am more somber and down beat. When I left today I was still on a high from this one. Kind of like I discovered gold at the end of the rainbow. Like I know some magical secret know one else knew. I almost feel like I should get back on the list for another just in case I wear this one out and believe me, I will try.
This thing defiantly caught allot of looks and attention at the range. If you don't know better, the report of the 22 round being fired seems similar to a suppressed 9mm and of course the looks match.
When I shoot rimfires, paper gets boring after awhile and usually I have to take reactive targets like spinners, or the like and today I forgot them. Whats crazy is every after hundreds of rounds I never got board punching paper. Hell, I didn't bring my spotting scope and at 50 yards had no clue where I was hitting and still didn't care. It was just plain fun to empty mag after mag.
I have read elsewhere that this company got some flack for originally being an Airsoft maker, but that airsoft company figured out something Ruger, an American institution in firearms couldn't figure out and thats how to get high capacity 22 mags to feed.
If I did have to come up with cons for the gun, I would have to look hard and they would be that the forearm and stock of the gun do have a plastic like feel to them instead of the original polymer feel. If this bothers you, you can get parts right now to replace them with just about any MP5 style part you like from solid aluminum fore grip with rails to retracting metal stocks. I may try again to order a retracing or folding stock (Website malfunction during order attempt) or even perhaps a aluminum forearm but right now I am going to enjoy it just how it is, perfect
