When you see the title of this please dont lock this forum but I caught this that nobody else noticed. The new rifle is really nothing like the MA5B. If you look its not of bullpup configuration (bullpup meaning the clip is inserted in the rear of the rifle) If you take a close look at it and see the distance between the handgrip and the rear of the stock its clearly obvious that no clip could fit in there, and if you look at the front grip of the rifle you see an impression that could likely fit a clip. So everybody who thinks its just a lengthened MA5B is wrong. The only way they are actually alike is by appearance but by performance and internal working they probably work completely differently.

It's already been stated its not the MA5B. Its not the MA2B either. It's like, the opposite of the MA2B.

Yea. Imagine a small Assault Rifle, with a shorter barrel, with .390 cal. rounds, shoots 15 rounds per second, and says "MA2B" on it....

Im pretty sure they wouldnt have went from MA5B to MA2B especially if its an older model.

My point is that everybody who thinks its perfomance will be like the battle rifles or the assault rifles is wrong. The battle design has been completely changed for the new rifle.

I think he meant replace "you" with "me", but he was just being mean. Don't be mean.
