Umarex Legends MP40 BB Submachine Gun

Pros
I gave this thing a bad review thinking a BB is a BB. That is NOT the case! Umarex BBs are the ONLY ones this gun will feed. Don't waste your time trying any others. After making that discovery, this thing is FUN! Great authenticity and feel. And fun. Awesome action. Fun. Good accuracy on semi auto. And did I mention it's fun?

Cons
Magazine is a bit difficult to load. On full auto, this thing is a CO2 hog. Takes two CO2 cartridges at a time and they won't get you through 2 full mags on full auto.

I've always wanted to shoot the MP40, but not in semi auto. And since I don't have a class 3, I thought that would never happen. Enter the Umarex Legend. It's very affordable. Very well made, and fun! As BB guns go,most are plastic, lightweight,and not very accurate.The Umarex is none of these! And with the full auto setting, it's a blast to shoot. Accuracy is better than I imagined, single shot is very good. I was hitting dead on most the time, full auto was also good. This is quality work! I can't think of a single bad thing to report about this gun! Accuracy, affordability and fully automatic! What else do you want! Get one!

shoots a little random on full auto, on semi- auto can group around 2 inches at 75 feet. the biggest drawback at this point is that the magazine spring is weak and can't feed the BB's fast enough to keep up with the action. If you hold the magazine level works fine, vertical can't keep up. Entertaining as hell to watch my son shoot it sideways on full auto, feeding the gangster in all juveniles? Accuracy goes down to about a 4 inch circle at 75 feet. Overall great entertainment and shooting at plastic bottles and tin cans but not a precision weapon by any means.

Exactly as the headline states, this airgun is simply jolly good fun to use. Well built, operates properly and I have yet to have any issues. Eats CO2 for breakfast, lunch and dinner on full auto, as one might expect but the Confederation of Cans was forced into retreat none the less. A WORD OF WARNING THOUGH, this does look, though obviously not sound, like a real firearm from a distance and up close. Be sure to keep this in mind while using it, I live in the country so I am less worried but you get the jist.

First full auto air gun (or otherwise) I've fired. Loads of fun. I get about 250 rounds (5 total magazines/2 CO2 cartridges). You do have to make sure to pierce both cartridges without over tightening. As others have noted, it helps to put a couple coins between them as spacers. I have only had one jam. Put in some dry lubricant into the mag and the issue went away. You do need to load with the BB's "stacking" in a zig zag for proper loading. If you pour them in slowly and pay attention, it's not bad, in spite of some complaints you'll read.

Pros
Hefty, real-deal feel Full auto goodness

Cons
Magazine is slow to load, but worth taking the time to do it right (at which point jamming is not an issue)

the magazine is poorly designed there is no lock on the spring for loading the BB's,this makes it very hard to load and the quick loader doesn't work right it jams all the time.Umarex needs to address and fix these problems before i recamend this gun to anybody.

I LOVE THIS GUN, LOVE IT ,LOVE IT JUST A BLAST TO SHOOT, WORKS PERFECTLY.

Pros
WORKS GREAT

Cons
HAVENT FOUND ANY

Umarex will not repair any gun under $500. If the gun is under warranty they will replace it but if the warranty has expired and you have a problem you are out of luck. When I sent my gun to them to replace a trigger spring I was told that their gunsmiths don't repair guns, and they don't sell parts. WTF!!!. They suggested I throw mine away and buy a new one. So much for me buying another Umarex gun.

Pros
Great looking gun Works well All metal construction All around fun

Cons
No gun repair service No parts available Horrible after warranty customer service Cannot even supply manufactures contact information

Never thought I would own a BB gun until I saw a video on the Umarex legends MP40 and I had to have one I'm 66 yrs old and it brings a smile to my face every time I pull that trigger can't get any better than that wish I could have seen it sooner love that full auto 🤩

Pros
Very realistic,qaulity fit and finish,tons of backyard fun lots of shots down range fast!

Cons
Not really a con but loading mags slows down the fun but with homemade loader tool too hold the follower down it makes it easier.

Yes, I am a pessimist. Something so much fun was sure to malfunction. Well, after 2,500 rounds it hasn't. I have fired 1,500 on my second one as well. I love them. Once one figures out how to load the mag by holding it at a downward angle and moving your wrist slightly left to right as the BBs drift down the slot to help them cross feed you are golden. I saw where someone recommended a penny as a spacer between the CO2 cylinders and adopted that method and have never had a problem piercing both cylinders since. I picked up two slings for around $30 on the Net and they work great. Customer service (Mike) has been great-I had a mag on my 712 malfunction when the plug stripped out and a new one is in enroute and I did not have to send the old mag back. Never fired my MP-40 single shot (why would you?) and I shoot usually in five round bursts and load 32 rounds per mag. I have five mags, but I shoot these guns often. This gun is a gem-underpriced in my opinion! If you are on the fence-buy it! Buy the PO8, the 714, the P-38, as well and you are set!

Pros
I had read a lot about the gun jamming-my two do not, but I baby them and keep them well lubricated. I run a rod with a mop down the barrel every three mags or so. It is truly a machine pistol-I seldom use the shoulder stock-I am not man enough to one hand it, but I bet someone could-like Clint Eastwood in his prime!

Cons
It looks too cool!
