Chopper, twosomes, and AP-5.

Podded for @voiceteam as a COLD READ!

I'm rewatching Rogue One and had an extremely cursed thought. Chopper, AP5, and K2 committing shenanigans around Yavin 4. The chaos.

Star Ware Rebels Bechdel Test Rewatch- 3x14 'Warhead'

Plot

A new droid arrives at the rebel base, but is not what it appears to be..

Female Characters: 2

Hera Syndulla Sabine Wren

Male Characters: 8

Zeb Orrelios, Alexsandr Kallus, Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Grand Admiral Thrawn

Droid Characters: 3

Chopper, AP-5, EXD-9

Does it pass?

This is another episode that I had in my notes as a pass... but I rewatched every scene with Hera and Sabine (all two of them!) and they never interact. It's a no!

This episode is a fun little adventure of the week, though it is consequential as Thrawn now has the location of the Rebel base down to 90 planets.

This is the first and only Zeb-centric episode of Season 3. He really does take a back seat in the last two seasons. This episode doesn't really give him much other than a misadventure and banter with the droids, but he does interact with Kallus a bit so at least there is that.

Best MP5 Clone?

There’s hardly a more recognizable modern firearm than the Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun. Between the countless movies, video games and actual conflicts…this thing has been there and done that. The HK MP5 is truly an iconic firearm if there has ever been one. Every single gun enthusiast wants one, even if they don’t admit it, including myself. What kept me away from owning one like most other people is the limited number of civilian versions (the SP5) that are available as well as the extremely high cost. These things can run $3k in some instances. People that want one, just pay it…so do your thing or get off the pot. Recently I saw one come in stock at Brownells. It was in stock no longer than 30 minutes at best. 

So with that out of the way, the title of this blog is the best MP5 clone. Almost 2 years ago I had the extreme want to pick up an MP5 or a clone to save some money. Brownells just happened to have the MKE AP-5 in stock. These clones are made over in Turkey and then imported by Century Arms. And while Century Arms and their manufactured items such as their AKs get a bad rap, the stuff they import from over seas generally can be very, very good. Not without exceptions of course. You see, this MP5 Clone manufactured by MKE Turkey is actually produced on HK machinery and is licensed by HK to do so. These are extremely close to the versions actually produced by HK in Germany. Probably the biggest difference would be the quality control done by the Turks versus the quality control done by the Germans. Let’s just ay that you have more chances of recognizing some fit and finish issues with the Turkish versions, however, they run an run very well. 

When my AP-5 came in, I jolted off to modify it in common ways. Of course I added a rail hand guard from Midwest Industries first off. I also added the Magpul grip model and safety selector. For the optic I chose to go with the Gen 2 Cyclops 1X prism optic from Primary Arms. The AP-5 comes with an integrated 3 lug barrel that is also threaded. I run my Rugged Obsidian 9MM suppressor exclusively on this firearm. Initially I had installed a side folding pistol brace from SB Tactical, but shortly after I filed a Form 1 to build it into a short barreled rifle. I’ve used both the Unity Tactical side folding stock and also the new Magpul sliding MP5 stock. Both are very good options. 

Out of the couple thousand rounds I’ve ran through this MP5 clone I have had exactly zero malfunctions of any type. It is by far the most requested firearm to take to the range for others to shoot. I may change out the trigger eventually for something a little crisper as the MP5 triggers are known to be quite mushy. I it an MP5? Well no, but it scratches that itch for someone that wants that look and feel, but can’ find one or doesn’t want to pay the premium. It is as good as you can get without actually being made by HK.

@tanjiquotes this was excellent

[chopper-and-ap5]

I like to believe AP-5 & Threepio do not like each other at all (at first). They are very bitchy to each other and AP-5 likes to mess with Threepio.

But as time goes on, AP starts to think it's just the fun of their relationship. He sort of, in a funny way, treats Threepio like a sibling. Threepio still thinks AP hates him though.

They're different but actually very similar too. It takes time for them to learn how to have a friendship. They genuinely enjoy being huge bitches to each other.
