Had my Scorpion for about a month. Really fun and well built. Put a Romeo 4s on top and whala…



I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you haven't shot that with the optic on.

I have a mid length scorpion with a fun switch. I have no regrets.

Is going over $1,000 really going to yield that much better of an option? Honest question.

I'm not opposed to it but am not going to be shooting this thing competitively. If reliability is that much better, sure I'll entertain it.

If you hadn't mentioned suppressor, I would say no. But you did, so I'm going to say yes.

Direct blowback guns will never be as pleasant to shoot suppressed as something like a roller delay style design like an MP5 or clone. It's just physics.

You can get the Century imported AP5 for barely over 1,000. I think Atlantic has them for under 1100 still.

Its Turkish made, so not as nice as the gucci german MP5s. But I have two of them, I run the absolute crap out of them and they work well.

I have owned a Sub2k and a Scorpion Evo in the past. I now own two MP5 clones.
MP5 is still the king, even though it doesn't have the modularity of the more modern designs. Just something about it that never goes out of style.

I have a CZ Scorpion. It's one of my favorite guns.

I shot a box through my 9mm Hi-Point carbine a couple weeks ago. As always, fun stuff.

She ugly. Paid $75 for her a few years back.
Ugly. Heavy, Stamped Steel, heathen. Came sighted in at a decent range right out of box. Clean, dirty, does not matter. Pull Trigger and bang, target hit.

No joke, we were throwing branches in the SA River and shooting them with ARs, and to a guy everyone thought the Aimpoint 9mm Carbine was super easy to aim and hit, with little recoil. One commented about his uncle having the Ruger 9mm carbine and said my Aimpoint was easier to shoot and hit.

That being said, it's like teeing off with a really ugly, horrible sounding driver that hits the middle every time. Love it, but you wished it looked like a Titleist TSR, not a Walmart Top Flight Magna (which BTW, probably does not perform, just plain ugly as well).

That being said, after having the Aimpoint, the Ruger was an almost-buy one day when I had one in hand at Academy.
"Green" is the new RED.

For those that might have picked up an MP5/AP5:

I have an extra rear sight tool that I will ship you for free. I screwed up and made a purchase from HK Parts a year ago with two in my cart, and it's just been sitting on my desk.

Tool

PM an address and it's yours.
