Incidentally, I wish either MKE or PTR would start offering their G3 and MP5 clones with the MP5/10 style LRBHO. The slap is fun, but pistols and AR15s have spoiled me, the slide or bolt locking open for you on its own, and being able to send it home right away after inserting your new mag, just feels SO fucking slick, and I never tire of how fast it feels. It's like me and gun cooperating.
MKE makes a ton of HK-flavored stuff they show off but don't export (their G3 clone and some funky clear MP5 mags come to mind). I wouldn't be shocked if they have at least SOME MP5/10 tooling laying around that HK won't let them "borrow".
I'm a sucker for the slap, but pushing in a button will always be quicker than reaching all the way out to the muzzle to whack the hell out of a charging handle. It's a lot of fun, but just not practical in the age of the Scorpion. Lucky for me, paper targets don't shoot back and I can take all the time in the world to slap at my leisure.
If you're desperate for a LRBHO but don't want to give up that delicious roller-delayed blowback, you could drop a Lingle Industries or A3 Tactical Scorpion magazine lower onto a Stribog SP9A3 for cheaper magazines, no recoil, actual integrated picatinny rails, a reachable safety and probably still be well under the price of an actual HK even with all the bells and whistles to go with it. I fucking love the MP5 platform, it's iconic and deserves its reputation, but there's no denying it's starting to show its age these days.

I'm guessing tossing a few kettlebells out onto the desert, setting up some tarps and tables and chalking some lines on the ground can't be too expensive to set up for a challenge match like Brutality, but I know without a doubt it must be a ballache to get everything set up. There's no way Karl does it alone, how do the rest of the Brutality organizers feel about Karl throwing a fit and getting rid of sponsors? Are they all volunteers or paid out of pocket? If they are volunteers; are they all retarded, volunteering for Karl Kasarda of all people?
I'm willing to believe most folks in the hobby would be happy to shoot sporting matches without any prizes for winning and even pay a fee to participate, but does he really think people will be lining up around the block to win old junk from his attic via raffle? Community's a big part of the appeal for this kind of thing. Commies, troons and edgy redditors don't make for a very attractive crowd to spend a day out in the desert with. Very curious to see how InRange grows as a brand when the product it offers is just so nothing.
