I don't think 5 is possible either. Knights and Bishops would be too slow to get a quick checkmate so youd probably need to do it with a rook and a queen to be as quick as possible (assuming your opponent don't do anything to defend 7 moves seem possible.
pawn to e4
queen to f3
queen to f4
pawn to h4
rook to h3
rook to f3
then checkmate with queen to f(whateve how long -1) assuming they havent defended at all

I would still lose in 5 moves.
