Filipino gunsmiths are making a killing

[bwelkk]

you'd think making an MP5 clone wouldn't be that much harder.

Roller delayed blowback guns would be way harder to make than open bolt shitboxes like Tech-9 variants. I suppose they could just put an MP5 looking shell on their current open bolt guns, but an actual clone would be a difficult task.

The MP-5 is nothing but a cheap stamped sheet metal gun

(only the original variant of the scorpion was an open bolt weapon) by the time the tec-9 came out- it was a closed bolt

however; some of the baddest smg and machine pistols are open bolt (imho)
