Cyma CM041B MP5A4 Airsoft Rifle with Fixed Stock in Black

The Cyma CM041B MP5A4 Airsoft Rifle with Fixed Stock in Black is a full-scale electric airsoft gun based on one of the most recognisable sub machine gun designs ever produced. CYMA has given the CM041B a reassuring mixture of metal and nylon construction, a fixed A4-style stock and a three-sided 20mm rail handguard, resulting in an MP5 Airsoft AEG that retains the classic silhouette while providing useful mounting space for modern accessories. At approximately 710mm long, it's noticeably more compact than a conventional assault rifle, and that shorter profile feels right at home when moving through buildings, barricades and dense woodland.

Up front, there's a removable metal flash hider fitted to a threaded barrel, so the muzzle setup can be changed if you want to fit a compatible airsoft suppressor or other suitable muzzle accessory. The inner barrel measures approximately 229mm, keeping everything neatly contained within the MP5's compact front end. CYMA has also fitted a sturdy three-sided 20mm rail handguard with removable rail covers. It's a useful upgrade over a completely traditional MP5 fore-end, particularly if you want to run a torch, foregrip or other compatible rail-mounted airsoft accessories.

A tactical vertical foregrip is supplied in the box and suits the CM041B surprisingly well. With the foregrip fitted, you've got a comfortable point of control at the front of the airsoft rifle, while the remaining rail space can be kept clear or configured around your own setup. Two removable rail covers are included too, allowing unused sections to be covered for a smoother feel. There's enough flexibility to personalise the MP5 without losing the clean, compact appearance that makes this platform so appealing in the first place.

Moving back towards the receiver, the charging handle has a strong return spring and gives a satisfying metallic sound when released. Pulling the handle back also provides access to the adjustable hop-up system. It's one of those details you find yourself playing with more than necessary – MP5 owners will know exactly what I mean. More importantly, the hop-up is adjustable and responsive, allowing you to alter the backspin on your 6mm BBs and tune their flight. With 0.20g BBs recommended and the hop properly adjusted, the CM041B provides a solid setup for typical skirmish distances.

The rear sight uses the familiar rotating drum arrangement with four aperture settings, letting you choose the sight picture that works best for you. The sight can also be removed if your planned setup requires it. Controls are equally straightforward, with an ambidextrous fire selector providing safe, semi-automatic and full-automatic modes. The selector has a positive click as it moves between positions, which is always appreciated when you're trying to confirm your firing mode by feel rather than staring down at the side of the gun.

Feeding the CM041B is a metal high-capacity magazine holding approximately 260 rounds. That's a useful amount of ammunition for a compact sub machine gun style Airsoft AEG and works particularly well with the rifle's full-auto capability. CYMA quotes a rate of fire of approximately 700 to 800 rounds per minute, giving the MP5 a lively response when switched to automatic fire where site rules permit. Prefer controlled shots? Semi-auto makes ammunition management considerably easier and is often the more practical setting when you're working through tighter environments.

Inside sits a Version 2 full metal gearbox, a well-established gearbox format that's widely used across electric airsoft guns. Muzzle velocity is listed at approximately 380 FPS, with the supplied information noting testing in roughly the 360 to 400 FPS region. Actual readings can vary depending on the individual gun, BB weight, hop setting and chronograph, so checking the CM041B against your airsoft site's current limits before playing is important. Once you're out on the field, the combination of compact dimensions, adjustable hop and dependable electric operation makes this MP5 a very usable all-rounder.

The fixed A4-style stock is particularly useful for battery storage. Remove the rubber butt plate and you'll find the internal battery compartment, complete with a Mini Tamiya connection and fused wiring. An 8.4V 1400mAh Ni-MH battery is recommended, and a battery and charger are supplied with the package. The fixed stock also incorporates sling attachment points, including a loop on the left side, giving you options for compatible two-point or three-point sling arrangements. Compared with trying to squeeze a battery into a tiny front handguard, the roomy fixed stock makes life pleasantly uncomplicated.

As an MP5 airsoft gun, the Cyma CM041B gets the important ingredients right: a mostly metal build, compact 710mm overall length, metal Version 2 gearbox, adjustable hop-up, metal high-cap magazine and selectable semi/full-auto operation. The three-sided rail handguard gives it enough modern practicality without completely changing the personality of the original design, while the fixed stock provides useful battery space and a stable shoulder position. If you're after a black MP5 Airsoft AEG with a sturdy feel and classic sub machine gun handling, the CM041B is a convincing bit of kit. There's a reason the MP5 shape never seems to get old.
