Looks like a really expensive plinking rifle.

I'd get the GSG5, the .22 LR clone of an MP5

I've seen those little GSG's all over gun shows recently. Are they any good?

Ive heard the GSG 5 is accurate and reliable, but theres not many aftermarket parts to accessorize, and its a little expensive for a .22. .22s are just fun plinkers, no need to break the bank.

The purpose I see for rifles like the GSG5 or the GSG47 is for cheap training purposes. If you had to train someone to shoot well quickly. It is much easier to use a GSG5 when one spends two weeks and 2,500+ rounds of ammo. Although I can say that Airsoft is an even cheaper method of training than .22LR.

I actually don't own a .22, believe it or not. But like alot of Canadians I learned to shoot a rifle with a Lee-Enfield C No.7 in the cadets. I was on the range team and had my own permanently assigned to me - I've got alot of fond memories of that rifle, I'd love to buy one one of these days.

I held one of them and it feel like an airsoft gun in steroids, I donīt know why GSG made the Ak (someone told me that the romanians .22 are cheaper and better) instead of another rifle, like the G-36.

The .22 there is what me, and several friends, learned to shoot on. I bought it right after turning 18. Will never sell it. Love the gun. Eats everything, shoots well. The accutrigger is nice. Cant wait to get a centerfire savage some day, they make a hell of a gun. My next will be another savage rimfire, scoped though, so i can have cheap practcie with scope (may go .22mag/17hmr) and irons.

Hey, I would trade my xbox for that Sig 522.
Oh man, I would trade... my... car for that.
No wait, I don't have a car.
