CM.041J BLUE Limited Edition [CYMA]

So, the MP5A2 from Cyma...
This legendary weapon inspires awe in many old-timers like me (24 years old), so I think it's worth talking about it in detail.
I'll start at the front and work my way gradually to the rear.

External

At the front, we have a removable birdcage-type flash hider that is attached using a tri-lag adapter, but there is also a 14 CCW mm thread for standard accessories.
The handguard is made of durable plastic and has a slight sideways movement, but this is normal due to the mounting method. Importantly, there is no squeaking or extraneous noise, so you won't give away your position by gripping it tightly at a critical moment.

Next is the iconic charging handle, which is spring-loaded and opens a window on the right side for hop-up adjustment. The HK slap...

But be careful, it is made of the same alloy metal as the other parts and is quite fragile. So sometimes you can get a little dopamine with it, but not too often.

The hop-up is not standard; it is special for the MP5, but it resembles the AK style. It has a drawback: it gets knocked out of tune when shaken, but this problem can be solved in a minute with a piece of electrical tape.

The magazine well is small, without expansion, and has a tab at the bottom for unlocking the magazine. There is also a reserve side button similar to that on the AR-15. So both reloading methods are available for left-handed shooters: via the button and via the paddle.
It also has a strap attachment point and serial number on it.

The trigger is not very good here, it is mushy with a very long travel, and there is no obvious activation point.

Above it is the fire mode selector: safe, semi, and auto. It is moderately stiff and each position has a distinct click, making it easy enough to select the desired position without looking at it.
However, the markings near it are disappointing, as they are relatively easy to rub off with bare finger, especially the white one (safe).

The stock is simple, telescopically adjustable to 4 positions: open, closed, and 2 intermediate positions.

On top of the receiver is a primitive sight, which is sufficient, and a special place for mounting optics, but you will need an adapter for this.

Internal

Inside is a gearbox v2 with standard internals and a quick spring change system.

The motor is not bad, but the lack of a MOSFET is a drawback. Therefore, please be careful when selecting a battery for this replica.

The best option for a beginner would be an inline MOSFET.

Verdict as a standalone replica: 6.5/10
Heavy weight, no MOSFET, and plastic molding artifacts on the handles.

Verdict as a platform for a project: 10/10
Gearbox V2, iconic appearance, HPA setup capabilities, compactness.

BUY, MODIFY, DOMINATE!

really nice gun
it is mostly made of metal, so it feels very nice. it is also quite heavy, heavier than the og H&K mp5.
the stock is a little wobbly, but it is alright.
The quality is very good for the price.
The quick spring change feature is accessible and easy.
The only real problem with this replica is the selector switch. In my case, it just can't lock in on the semi-auto from the safety, so I have to select full auto and go to semi-auto from there.

If you looking for a good CQB replika, you found it! It looks really nice, and performs really good, very accurate, and has a decent power. Strongly recommended. The people will love it on the field.

Pros
- Great looking
- Great performance out from the box

Cons
- Weird fireselector (but it manageable)
- Not the best choice for outdoor games

very good replica with good material(upper steel and lower polymer) and feeling.
you can fit a 9.6v Nimh 1600mah battery in the stock handguard and it shoots really well.
its quite heavy so you definitely need a sling but the rear sling mount is pretty much unusable, it will fall out if you grab the sling to lift it up.

Incredible replica with cross threaded muzzle and included mock flash hider. First purchase on Taiwan and couldn’t be happier. Received the MP5 with one high cap 220 round mag (no battery so make sure to pick one). From Taiwan gun the gun was firing 355-375 FPS (.20g bbs) out of the box and 320-330 FPS (.25g bbs) with a 11.1v lipo battery during outdoor play. Compared to other reviews I personally do not notice the stock wiggle unless fully extended and I only play with it 2-3 positions extended for sleek submachine gun gameplay! Will be buying more soon once tariffs in the US ease up!

Great replica, it only needs shimming and a new hop up rubber to be competitive. The only complaints are that the stock is wobbly while fully extended, the outer barrel needs tightening after every game to revert wobble (not a real problem) the rear sling mount can pop out if pulled back with force (no point in running single point slings) and that the charging handle broke off after more than 6 months of owning it, though i contributed to it by playing too much with the thing, couldn't help it. Overall, it's a must have.

This is probably the best base mp5 on the market, hands down. Admittedly alloy construction, but still feels great in the hands. Good out of box performance, v2 compatibility, and dashing looks on top of it. I would say this functions great as a backup gun stock but also doubles as a tricked out primary if you want it to be.

CYMA blue systems have improved a lot in recent years, and they won't let you down - the only real complaint I have is the trigger pull is a "little" long for my taste, but that's a symptom of the mp5 trigger design more than anything else.

Nice heavy weight replica. Very easy to work on since the lower slides off just like an M4. Motor is quite torquey. Hop up is easy to access. Spring is easy to change from the rear. A well thought out replica for the user and tech.

Great replica, build quality is sturdy. Charging handle feels good but i do not recommend to slap it too often. Stock feels sturdy, no wobble. Performance is good, hop up could be better but overall a great beginners replica.

Only downside is that the rear slingpoint broke of when i ran with the replica, front sling mount looks sturdier, but i do not recommend to use a one point on this replica.

The replica is excellent, the external finishes are perfect, the feeling when shouldering it is great, the gearbox works flawlessly, the shots are straight and the bursts are very tight, perfect in every way, one of the best replicas, we have several in the team and I highly recommend it.

The Legendary Mp5. This Cyma version is amazing, out of the box experience is great. Changing the hop-up is very easy. Tried it with a 7.4v battery, 0.25 BB, can only recommend.

One negativity, but it's almost just a nitpick, is the stock being just a little bit wobbly when fully pulled out.

Awesome price/quality deal, especially when compared with similar full plastic replicas. Even if advertised like that by the company I would never run it with an 11.1v lipo unless I do some upgrades myself. Definitely not my main but a nice addition to my collection.

Absolutely love it!
Pros:

Very well made body, everything is metal except handguard and grip.

Good trigger response.

Easily tunable outside and inside.

Pretty heavy for an SMG, but it's well balanced.

No wobbling, just the stock and only slightly.

Cons:

Weird fire selector, but it's not terrible.

This replica is very useful in CQB enviroment, but also has enough range for outdoors. My last game was a blast with this gun. Small size, easy to move with, has a good weight to it, but its OK becouse made from good materials, mostly metal. Feels solid in my hands. Rate of fire is pretty quick even with stock internals and battery. Only negative is a little bit of play on the retractable stock and on the selector lever but its not a big deal, easyly fixable. Owerall a very good gun easy to upgrade and customize, has a good range and power. You can HK slap it without breaking it, like the ones made by JG.

Very good quality, medium weight replica, lot of actual metal parts. Shoots quite well, it's enjoyable with only using the iron sights. Easy to change battery, but pay attention it's not part of the package. Pay attention to the magazin change, as the trigger for the mag can be a bit too loos, and you can release the mag just while running by accident and it could be a little bit stronger. Otherwise great replica, happy with it!

Lovely externals, good quality and solidly build. Quick change spring system and after examination very solid internals apart from the nozzle. Change out the nozzle and rewire it with a mosfet and you'll have a replica that is a force to be reckoned with.

This CYMA MP5 is great out of the box, the first impression is the weight, it is surprisingly heavy for such a compact gun.
CYMA has been improving their lineups in the last few years, and it shows on this gun.
The packaging is great, everything arived safely.

The gun itself shoot really well out of the box with 9.6v 1600mah NiMH and 11.1v 2200mah batteries, both fit nicely in the handguard, the rate of fire is 13rps with 9.6v and 17rps with 11.1v while shooting a steady 382fps with 3fps max deviation.

The accuracy and range is decent, changing the hopup bucking to AimTop and tightening the hopup arm screw improved it.

The outside of the gun is very well made, almost no rattle, it feels very sturdy. The paint looks great and seems tough.
The charging handle slides nicely, it has a small click when pulling back, this makes it feel almost like a GBBR.

Inside the gun there are a few even newer upgrades:
The bushings are 8mm steel sliding
The cylinder is steel and polished
The nozzle is 21.6 mm long and it provides a decent seal without an o-ring.

The inside of the gearbox is no longer covered in grease, it is applied professionally on the gears and o-rings. The shiming of the gears is also good.

PROS:
-The construction of the gun is very well made and looks great
-The gearbox is surprisingly good for the price
-Even more free upgrades from CYMA (steel cylinder, 8mm bushings, double o-ring piston head and cylinder head)
-Good RoF and range out of the box
-Easy to upgrade
-Satisfying charging handle

CONS:
-No o-ring on the nozzle (RetroArms M4 21.6mm nozzle is perfect replacement)
-The included 8.4v NiMH battery does not do justice for the gun
-The painted on fire selector markings are not permanent

It looks great, weights great and feels great. The stock battery is weak, buy and additional one. I think the price is good also.
The trigger sometimes locked in, it doesn't have mosfet, consider installing one.
Athough it is metal, the shots are already visible on it. Small bumps where the BBs hit it.

Very impressed with the Blue lineups quality. The full metal design is a mimic of clasic army's approach making take down/ dissesembly a breeze. Out of the box the AEG sounds fairly tuned with the first shots shounding decent and not like a scared pig like most others. The piston, piston head and cylender head are a nice touch too.

Incredibly high quality. Full metal means you can HK slap to your hearts content. Consistent accuracy and endless fun. . . . .
Must have!

A very well made replica, very realistic, easy to handle and very accurate. I like that the spring can be changed quickly and you can decrease or increase its power. It is my favorite toy and I recommend it!!

Excellent gun, easy to handle, feeds and fires reliably with CYMA midcaps. I didn't test with the included hicap, since I don't like hicaps anyway. I got the 400fps variant, which shot a little less than 400 on my chrono, but still well enough that I was confident in it at my field. The iron sights were spot on, and the gun was reasonably consistent for a stock airsoft gun. The hopup isn't the best for staying in place, but I put a shim of tape on top of the lever to hold it down, and that seems to be working so far. I went into this expecting issues, and was very happy with my purchase. Make sure to grab the extended rail claw mount along with the gun, so you can mount modern optics. It also steadies the outer barrel, which is the other weakpoint on this design. I plan on buying the mp5k variant as well for CQB.

Great MP5 Platform, way better than the Elite Force/ Umarex Competition series. Great build quality. Internals were pretty good, but I replaced all of them so I can't say for longevity. The bushings did have to be filed down to fit SHS gears.

A really great Mp5, a lot of weight into it ,that makes it feel that it will not break by just looking at it. I personal love replicas that are full/mostly metal, so I strongly recommend this Cyma Mp5 blue edition if you want something with a weight and very durability

Replica is good. I got standard speed and run it with 11.4 v lipo. It shoots way snappier than stock battery.
People on the field really like it.
I found the small mid caps for the replica to fit very snugly. Hicap included rattles a bit.
Overall very good gun and I am happy with the purchase. Got the reshimming from taiwan gun and everyone says it sounds very well when it shoots.

The issues I had were less than the many positives but here they are:

1. Hop up adjustment strip is very loose and goes back to no hop after a couple of shots. I plan to simply glue or tape the strip in place. Person with a similar issue on YT found it to be effective cheap solution.

2. The sling mount point on the stock comes out if you use one point sling. This was confirmed to be an overall problem with the gun by another player on the field who owns the same replica. He approached me unprompted and asked if my comes out too. (it does). I solved this with wrapping some wire around the stock but it is not pretty. Will probably purchase the full stock later.

3. Fire selector is wobbly, it does the job and doesn't change fire mode by itself but it's not satisfying to turn due to being very light to turn.

This is my first replica and despite the minor problems the gun is great. The body is sturdy, parts seem to be available, it shoots nice, its full metal ( makes it heavier than the polymer m4s).

Basically the gun seems well worth it for the price and while the few issues mentioned irritate me, I feel they can all be solved relatively cheaply.
So yeah i duno, buy it if you want to be like the bad guy from the first Die Hard. I did and don't regret it.

Initially when i received the replica it felt really good in the hands and was surprisingly heavy, which is not an issue for those looking for realistic replicas

The externals are well made and fitted, only complaints are the faint safety selector markings and the rear drum sight being slightly loose

Magazine fitment from my personal experience was very disappointing at first, the included hi-cap and the separately purchased mid-cap magazines both were very loose and could be pulled out without manipulating the magazine release controls, however

this can be fixed by locating the magazine release button, and pressing in the same place on the opposite side of the replica, slightly bending the metal tab in

this will make magazines have a reassuring positive click with each use

I can not speak for the internal build quality as i have not taken my replica apart yet, but so far it sounds decent and is probably going to last for a good while

To sum it up
Good replica, very good externals with only slight blemishes here and there
Decent performance, although there are faster options on the market for a slightly higher price


If you're happy to carry around an mp5 replica weighting 3kg-s, you will not be disappointed with this one for the price

Decent sub-machine gun for beginners and intermediate players.
Well built, hardly any wobble or play between parts.
Very good price.
Acceptable rate of fire with 7,4V LiPo.
Fairly stable muzzle velocity (341-350 fps).
May need minor upgrades later
