Although not a genuine Deutsche-made H&K SP5 this is the cheap American copy of it, the PTR 9 CT. I've shot plenty of rounds through without issue. I think with the way it right now is it's perfect as a little range toy. Very easy to hit a 14" dia. gong at 100 yards. Shoots very well with 147gr subsonic loads too. No issue with flat nosed projectiles neither, surprisingly. Definitely a gun I recommend to newbies. The girls love shooting it as they think it feels like toy and has zero recoil.
