The Military Arms Corporation MAC 5 delivers what shooters have wanted for years: a reliable MP5‑style clone for under $1,000. Imported by SDS and built in Turkey, it uses a roller‑delayed blowback system, chrome‑lined barrel, and classic diopter sights, while including strong out‑of‑box value with two magazines, a tri‑lug flash hider, sling, and hard case.
Range testing showed excellent reliability through nearly 1,000 rounds, including suppressed use and match shooting, with only minor magazine‑related malfunctions using non‑HK mags. Suppressed performance was especially impressive, offering smooth recoil and extremely quiet operation with subsonic ammunition. The platform also proved highly customizable, accepting modern braces, optics mounts, handguards, triggers, and accessories.
While long‑term maintenance requires attention to extractor springs and bolt‑gap measurements—normal for the MP5 design—the MAC 5 stands out as one of the best values in the clone market. With a $999 street price, it offers authentic MP5 performance at a fraction of the cost of higher‑end alternatives.
