Like the HK94, the GSG-5 has a full 16¼" barrel. The breech housing of the carbine is of die-cast zinc like the receiver and houses a metal injection molded steel bolt assembly. 22 LR employs a straight-blowback design rather than the roller-locked operation of the center-fire HK94. The follower's left-side thumb stud engages a bolt stop, and the GSG-5 also sports a magazine safety. To aid loading, the magazine's follower has ambidextrous thumb studs exposed through its open sides. Although it is a single-stack rimfire design, it is thicker than necessary, giving both it and the GSG-5's magazine well the appearance of accommodating 9 mm Luger cartridges.
The polymer magazine of the GSG-5 is also unique. Either can be used to release the magazine. The GSG-5's magazine release system is patterned after that of the MP5, in which the magazine release is made up of both the crossbolt button and a paddle-type lever located at the rear of the magazine well. The HK94 sports a crossbolt-style magazine release button just behind the magazine well. A yellow dot on the lever itself indicates the safety's orientation relative to these markings.Ī lever located on the left side of the cocking tube above the barrel charges the action, and the tube itself features a recess in the upper rear portion of the charging handle's track that allows the receiver to lock the action open. A red dot is located next to the "F" off-safe position and a gray dot is next to "S" on-safe setting. The two-position safety operates in the same manner as that of the HK94, although it is ambidextrous. The GSG-5's primary controls are quite similar to those of the HK94. The lower is of Taromid GF 39 polymer and features an integral pistol grip. Modern polymers are also used extensively, from the fixed-buttstock assembly that comes standard on the carbine to the fore-end to the lower receiver assembly. With its rotary drum rear sight assembly and hooded post front sight assembly, the GSG-5's sights mimic those of a genuine H&K. The top portion of the receiver features interface points to accept an optics mount. Rather than the stamped-steel receiver of the original H&K, however, the GSG-5 features a receiver and cocking tube of die-cast zinc with an evenly applied matte-black coating. Visually, the GSG-5 carbine is astoundingly similar to an HK94, with the open sides and exposed spring of the carbine's 22-round magazine being the most obvious cue to its true nature. Manufactured in Ense-Höingen, Germany, by German Sport Guns, the rimfire GSG-5 is imported into the United States by American Tactical Imports. 22 LR semi-automatic styled quite closely to the HK94. The firearm in question is the GSG-5 Carbine, a. There is an intriguing alternative, however, for those who want to own a firearm that captures the charm of this revered design-and one that is more affordable to shoot as well. Due to 1989 restrictions on its importation, this appealing 9 mm Luger carbine is now unfortunately out of reach for many firearm enthusiasts.

And a particularly desirable example is the HK94 carbine, the semi-automatic-only version of its MP5 series of submachine guns. When it comes to firearms in the military or tactical realms, few names possess the cachet of Heckler & Koch.
