Real MP5 or Clone? Century Arms AP5-P Test and Review
Elliott Delp provides a critical review of the Century Arms AP5-P, a clone of the HK MP5K. The review highlights the firearm's reliability over 500 rounds of 9mm without cleaning, its compatibility with suppressors, and the functionality of accessories like the SB Tactical brace and Holosun optic. However, significant ergonomic criticisms are raised regarding the safety selector's difficult manipulation. The AP5-P also demonstrated sensitivity to flat-nose ammunition, a drawback not shared by the original HK SP5. Despite these issues, the AP5-P is deemed a viable option for the average shooter due to its significantly lower price point compared to the HK SP5, though professionals or collectors might still prefer the original.
