Dipped my toes in the GSG world. Eyeballing these for years but the bad reviews kept any purchase at bay.
However the recent reviews all seem positive so here I go. There's also a GSG Stg44 on the way.
Located in Belgium so these are sold with the folding stock :)
Trying to source a bigger magazine, this little thing is just hideous

Report back with a video shooting it please!

Theyre decent enough range toys. Main issue is the charging handle isnt secured that well and can fall out while shooting. The trigger is also probably the worst trigger I have ever used. Its a really mushy 10lb ish pull. It goes bang and is accurate enough so if you can get one for cheap go for it. Think I paid like $350 or so for my 9mm one.

I'll try :) range is not to keen on pictures unfortunately

I got my magazines off gunbroker. I agree that just looks wrong with a stubby magazine.
My one tip is to avoid jams ABSOLUTLEY don't hold or even touch the magazine when shooting it. I know it looks cool from the video games and movies but it will cause issues.

I've read about that however that seems fixed in the later production years.
The magazine well is super tight on this one. Had to smack it a couple of times before the magazine even locked. I've now taken it out and in couple dozen times and it's loosening up a bit now.

I had one and found that underpowered 9mm rounds would cause jams.

Does it take Glock mags?
