A quarter at 20 feet, I can buy. Any decent airsoft gun can do that. At 50-60 feet, good fucking luck even with a finely tuned sniper rifle.

There seems to be a higher report of problems with the MP5 than with Krakens, which is why I qualified it as substandard compared to the Kraken. The Kraken is a surprisingly great gun for a cheap clearsoft. The MP5 is average for a gun in that price range. It could last you for 10s of thousands of rounds, just like it could implode on the first mag.

But like I said, with a bit of preventative maintenance in the form of opening the mechbox, cleaning out the brown goop they call lube, reshimming and regreasing, you can have a really reliable gun. While it's apart, change the hopup rubber too, and then you've got a decent gun.
