Compatibility

|---|---|---|
| Umarex / VFC MP5 GBB Series (V1 / V2 / V3) | Direct Native Fit | Direct OEM factory standard for the VFC MP5/MP5K gas blowback engine. Fine-tune the adjustable gasket height to establish an airtight compression seal against the loading nozzle, ensuring maximum gas transfer efficiency without causing bolt binding or dragging during full-auto cycling. |
| WE-Tech Apache (MP5) / TM / Maruzen MP5 GBB Series | NOT Compatible | WE Apache, Tokyo Marui, and Maruzen MP5 platforms utilize distinct magazine catch notch placement, non-matching valve striker heights, and proprietary gas router profiles incompatible with VFC architecture. |
