The GSG-16 is a .22 LR semi-automatic rifle styled after the MP5 submachine gun, made by German Sport Guns (GSG). The low cost and low recoil of the .22 LR cartridge make it accessible to shooters of varying experience. Features include a faux suppressor, adjustable stock, and Picatinny rails on the top, bottom, and sides. Ambidextrous charging handles and magazine release accommodate both right- and left-handed shooters. The lightweight polymer frame is easy to handle. The 16.25-inch barrel and adjustable sights provide adequate accuracy at short to medium ranges. The 22-round magazine supports extended sessions. The GSG-16 is used for recreational shooting, training, and introducing new shooters to the platform.
