== MP5 Reloading? == | |||
Is it possible to reload an MP5 like described in the text regarding the 2015 version? Wouldn't pulling the charging handle back, then reloading and moving it forwards again make it an open bolt weapon? Ir is it possible to reload closed bolt weapons like that? [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 18:12, 7 August 2015 (EDT) | |||
:As described is correct. On the MP5 there is a hook at the back of the charging handle slot, which means that the bolt can be retracted and the charging handle turned upwards slightly to lock the bolt to the rear. At this point you can put in a new magazine, and then when it is in place you can "slap" the charging handle out of the slot which allows the bolt to go forwards and load the first round from the magazine. This is exactly the same in concept to any other closed bolt weapon that can have the bolt held open (either by being locked open on an empty mag or manually as is the case with the MP5). On an open bolt weapon, when you pull the charging handle back it would stay to the rear without having to engage it in a hold open slot (although a lot of open bolt guns do have a similar notch which acts as a safety of sorts), and generally the only way to get the bolt to go forward is to pull the trigger. However, when the text says "one mid-magazine where the magazines are simply swapped (which can be difficult to do on an MP5 with a full magazine and the bolt closed, hence the usual HK slap)", this isn't really true. Well, it is sort of true but only if the incorrectly try to use a magazine loaded with 31 rounds rather than the 30 rounds it is designed for. The taught method is still to lock the bolt back during a reload though, but I do not believe this is actually to do with making the magazine easier to insert (although it does eliminate a potential problem if you didn't pay attention when loading your magazines), but rather it is done to make sure there is not chance of you riding the bolt forward as instead you slap it free of the hold open notch. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:33, 7 August 2015 (EDT) | |||
::As I recall I got that from a manual for the MP5, IIRC it says it can be difficult with I think 28 or more and recommends the HK slap, and that it's outright impossible if there's more than 30. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 03:01, 9 August 2015 (EDT) | |||
Thanks for the answer, I didn't know you could lock the bolt back first before reloading on closed bolt weapons. I guess that's what happens when one never has operated a real weapon. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 19:04, 7 August 2015 (EDT) | |||

Need update
This page hasn't been updated since a long time. For example, the MP5 model has been changed a long time ago. I will try to rewrite the page soon and upload some new images.
Oops, I must have an account to upload new files, can someone upload these images?
New MP5 after firing a grenade
Another shot of new SPAS-12 model.
- Is this mod ever coming out? I remember when I was looking forward to it...five years ago! At this point, it's become the Duke Nukem Forever of mods. -MT2008 17:56, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
The mod is completed in about 80-90%, so it will come out in a few months. Maybe even during holidays.
