A Classic Army MP5? Out of the box? A tightbore, maybe. If you were planning on most CQC wouldn't even bother with that.

CA guns are solid out of the box. I didn't change anything on mine until I hit the 20,000-round mark. I think I'm still running the original tappet plate, and I have to be getting close to 60-80,000 rounds.

Most of the higher end stock airsoft guns are fine out of the box. A lot of times we only upgrade to swap out a bad component (and replace with a better one, because why not?), or because we replace something else that needs supporting upgrades. For example, in TM guns, stronger spring also means you need metal instead of nylon bushings, and a bearing spring guide wouldn't hurt.

Upgrading just for the sake of upgrading is the worst reason to upgrade. You'll be throwing money into components you don't need. And as a new player, you're not likely to appreciate (or capitalize) on the advantages certain components give you.

The best idea is play with a stock gun, decide what about it you want to change, then upgrade the appropriate parts.
