H&K MP5 PDW Full Metal AEG Standard (Umarex/Cyma, Black, CM041PDW)
This is the H&K MP5 PDW, an officially licensed electric airsoft SMG from Umarex and Cyma in Cyma’s Standard range, listed as full metal and finished in black. The PDW is the short MP5K-based personal defence weapon variant with a folding stock, giving you a very compact SMG that still has a stock for a steady hold.
The MP5 was designed in the 1960s by Heckler & Koch and became the standard submachine gun of police and special forces units around the world, with the SAS’s use of it in 1980 doing much to make it famous. That reputation, and its natural, well-balanced handling, have kept it one of the most popular platforms in airsoft.
In airsoft the PDW is a superb choice for indoor and close-quarters play, where its small size makes it quick around corners and easy to carry all day. It also makes a great backup or vehicle replica for milsim players.
The PDW design
A retailer listing for the Cyma Standard CM041PDW describes a side-folding stock, an overall length of 634mm with the stock open and 400mm folded, a 140mm inner barrel and a 70-round low-capacity magazine. Please check the product images for the exact grip, rails and muzzle details of this version.
With the stock folded it packs away into a bag or rests neatly in a vehicle; unfold it and you have a stable, compact SMG for room clearing and short-range engagements.
Handling
Short SMGs reward smooth, controlled movement. Keep the stock in your shoulder as you move, practise swapping magazines quickly, and get to know the selector so you can switch between semi and auto without looking.
How it works
An AEG (airsoft electric gun) uses a rechargeable battery to power a motor, which turns a set of gears inside the gearbox. The gears draw back a piston against a spring and then release it, and the rush of air pushes the BB through the hop-up and down the inner barrel. AEGs are the most popular type of replica because they are consistent in all weathers and cheap to run, with no gas to buy.
Getting started
Before your first game, charge a suitable battery fully, fit it as the manual describes and connect it carefully. Load a magazine and start with the hop-up turned off, then fire a few shots at a safe backstop and add hop a little at a time until the BBs fly flat without rising at the end of their flight.

Compatibility
MP5-pattern AEG magazines fit this replica; Cyma MP5 magazines are the safest choice, and most mainstream MP5 AEG magazines work, though it is worth trying a new magazine before relying on it in a game. We also stock Cyma MP5 mid-cap magazines and MP5 speedloader adaptors. Shorter MP5K-length magazines suit the PDW’s compact profile.
The battery’s size, type and connector are not given in our listing, and MP5 variants differ in where the battery fits, so please check the manual or contact us before buying a battery. Use good quality seamless 6mm BBs.
Care and maintenance
Take the battery out after every game and store it away from the replica, and charge LiPo batteries only on a proper balance charger that you are supervising. Clean the inner barrel with a cleaning rod and a dry patch every few games, as dirt and broken BB fragments are the main causes of flyers.
Use good quality seamless BBs of a consistent weight, check external screws and accessories before each game day, and store the replica somewhere dry. Leave internal gearbox and electronics work to someone experienced with AEGs.
Who is it for?
The MP5 PDW is for players who want a very compact licensed SMG with a folding stock, for CQB, indoor sites or as a handy secondary replica.
Please note: The listing does not say whether a battery, charger or spare magazines are included, so please ask if you need them. Always wear suitable eye protection when using any airsoft replica, and have it chronographed at your site before play.
