The MP5 on CTE, where to begin..
Oh I know where; I FREAKING LOVE IT!
Good job on the feeling, the sound of it is almost perfect to the point where the only thing to change would be such a minor detail that most people won't even notice it or even know what that sound is (that being the MP5's audible sound when its roller-locking happens).
If there is a single point of note I have about it, it's the "combat-reload" on empty we did in the military, we were explicitly instructed to not do the "HK-slap" reload because it was horribly inefficient under stress and a waste of critical time.
The order in which we did on-empty reloads were as follows:
- eject the empty magazine
- put in the new magazine
- quickly rack the charging handle back and let it go home
Because it would be taking about half the time of doing
- pulling back the charging handle and locking it back in the notch
- taking out the empty magazine
- put in the new magazine
- positioning it so you could accurately slap the handle so it would go home
Most commonly the order would be
- grab the new mag
- while holding the new mag, grabbing the empty mag and just pulling it out so it drops
- inserting the new one
- racking it quickly
Saving time and not trying to do some (as the officers called it) "flashy hollywood bullshit", all about saving time with as few steps as possible with as little distance to move arms to conserve time. There wasn't any instructions on a combat reload per se while not on empty, but it basically was just the last mentioned just without racking it.
There is a tiny point of note:
It does however need itself some lower profile optics, as they get mounted so high up on it, so it's not rail-mount -> optics mount -> optic, but instead a low-pro mount directly mounting the optic to the rail or some of the mp5-mount optics that exist, but oh well
