If you're not a poor, get both.  MP5 and 9mm AR.

Same, I have a mp5, stribog, scorpion and 2 9mm ars a d they all work perfectly.  People who say this shit just want to stir shit.  Why do you care op?

OP is not completely wrong.

9mm out of an AR platform is more about saving money on ammo, and/or being able to find ammo, for a short barreled AR, over getting the best ballistics/performance out of an AR.

10mm or .300blk are >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 9mm out of an AR platform with a short barrel.  

If you want to shoot for cheap  .22LR >>>>> 9mm out of a short barrel.

But if you want something with a really short barrel that you can somewhat afford to practice with, 9mm isn't a horrible choice if using 124gr HST (+p) or 147gr HST for SD.  

Still....the "ballistics" are the same out if the same rounds are fired out of a handgun with a similar barrel length.

That’s not a fair comparison all prices are going up. I’m sure the scar, optic, suppressor bought today would be quite a bit more than whatever you paid. At one point SP5s were $2500

As an owner of both.

9mm AR runs circles around MP5, fucks its bitch, shits all in its bed, raids the fridge and drinks its beer.

AR; $400 vs $1800 and up
AR; $12 magazines vs $60
AR; Feed ramp and less picky about projectile shape
AR; Last round bolt hold open
AR; Controls are reachable and not designed around mutant hands
AR: Easily swap bbl lengths
AR; Far easier to accessorize
AR; No retarded mount needed for optics
AR; lower can host other calibers (mine has Colt style mag blocks)

MP5: Much smoother shooting
MP5; looks cool

I tend to agree. I finally broke down and built a 300 BO... more for fun than anything. No plans for 9mm in anything but a handgun.

If I dumped GHM money into a 9mm AR build, I'd regret it too.

Totally agree.

I tried the whole ar9 thing. Fucking hated it. I didn’t see the point of a carbine that had more felt recoil than my 5.56 guns.

***** that does not mean it’s bad recoil. That means from shot to shot, I am quicker to get my reticle back on target with a 5.56*****

Went the hk route and it’s been a ton of fun. Probably the most fun I have had with a gun in a while.

It accomplishes what I actually wanted from a 9mm setup. Super light recoil, very fast follow up, super easy to maneuver.

Only think that really sucks is the trigger, but even with the not good trigger I’m MUCH faster making hits on target. To a lesser degree the manual of arms.

Not if it has delayed blow back.

Also screw your snob stupid crap, not everyone has 3k for a niche weapon that's largely outdated and not that relevant with specific configurations of AR's in more powerful calibers the same size. Now stop being a faggot gloating to like minded firearm enthusiasts and Americans.

My buddy built this. We've yet to shoot it with subs (he built it right when ammo started going full retard), but it's pretty cool. I really don't like straight blowback though.

I already had a ton of Glock mags and got a PSA PCC for a steal.

It isn't as slick as my brother's HK SP5K semi-auto, but it is just as accurate, ...and I had spent about 2000 less than he did.

Had one because I thought I would schlep it to the pistol range with me when I went. I ended up doing that exactly once and got rid of it years ago.

Kinda wish I had it back now. The “carbine” concept (a pistol and a “rifle” in the same caliber) is appealing.

Back before Scorpions, Striborgs, AK5s, etc,  it was either $2500 HK94, $1300 shitty roll of the dice clone, a $600 Uzi, or $800 AR9.

The DOE clone I shot in full auto was more fun than I thought it would be...and a whole lot easier to shoot well than a full auto Glock.

Sure there are better choices for a lot of jobs, but 30 rounds of 9 will kill a lot of shit.

Seriously though I really like both my 9mm AR and my 45acp AR. Both are very reliable and very quiet suppressed. And I do have more than one AR in 223/5.56

I want one that takes Scorpion mags and uses CMMG's radial delay system. I don't think the RDB can be shoehorned into an AR-V without significant modification though.

Until then, I'm much happier with my Evo.

Gotta agree.  At one point I had a PSA upper on a standard AR lower with endo mags and also a FM pistol.  The PSA honestly felt better, and ran better.  Right out of the box the FM I had to tinker with, and the last round bolt hold open never worked.  Ended up getting rid of both of em.

Only way Id get another is if I ran across a factory Colt at a really good price.  And only out of nostalgia.
