« on: January 28, 2012, 09:40:09 PM »
alright guys so i been trying to decide on weather to buy a mp5 9mm or a kriss 45acp
both semi auto of course

while the advantage goes to the kriss on the 45acp cartridge i'm not sure i can accept the mag capacity

The kriss is on my wish list.  What's wrong with 25 rounds of .45?  Seems way better than 30 rounds of 9mm.

EDIT:  ...And don't forget about the customer service motto that comes with the mp5...."We hate you, and you suck!"

Yeah, if I was going to blow money on something like that. It would be the most hideous ugly thing ever....as long as it's launching .45 ACP  :))

Yeah, just browse YT, you'll see plenty of folks using the extended glock mags with the kriss.  If I ever do get one, it'll be the sbr version, and I'll get a can for it.

from what i have seen the 16" barrel makes the rounds go the fastest before they start to slow down

whats better than a 45acp?

True, you'll gain velocity, but contrary to popular belief, you'll loose accuracy with a longer barrel.  Here's why:  Most .45acp carbine barrels are relatively thin due to the .45 being a low pressure round.  The result is more barrel flex with a longer barrel.

Yeah, I heard the first production run had some problems, but they've got that straightened out now.  I do hear it's a real "oil hog."  Meaning it requires frequent lubing to function properly.  I still want one....It's in my top 2 on my wish list.

Idk man. If you're think SMG, which I get, I'd really go with the pistol version. The unfolded version you're talking about is 35 inches. Folded it's still 26 inches. The pistol 16 inches. You see where I'm going with this. Granted you won't techinically be allowed to attach a vertical grip or a stock, but that's assuming the world doesn't go to hell in a hand basket too. Either way, we all just want you to be happy, and we want pics. Many pics, and maybe an engraving on it that says "My precious." Never mind, it's my idea. If I get one I'm doing it.  :))

It's kinda funny....I tried to start a thread on the Kriss a while back.....and not a peep from anyone.  I guess I was just ahead of my time....yeah, that's it. 8)
