Looks cute, I'm not sure I'd want to "assault" anything with it though.

Reminds me of the time when they called gsg16 a machine gun or sth, then the ban hammer dropped few days later…

Not sure if it was the same article, but I remember seeing a GSG-16 called an MP5 once. Like, not a "MP5 clone/variant/style" they straight up said they "seized an MP5 submachine gun"

To be fair, GSG 16 has always been on the crosshair. Not sure how SW MP15 got banned when GSG 16 is A ok.

And yes, drum mag is a thing and it's totally ok with the Firearm act prior to the ban.

But there is literally no logic when it comes to Liberal gun control. Lol

The GSG's Ukraine didn't want because they're in fact, not machine-guns lmao

The GSG16 is still legal in New Zealand for gods sake.
