Umarex Legends MP40 BB Submachine Gun

Pros
Performed as advertised. Good quality workmanship and materials.

The battle weathered version wasnt available to me so I got the factory new black and weathered it myself. 800 grit sandpaper and 0000 steel wool. Furthermore, (and a lot of people would question why I would modernize an iconic, vintage replica like the MP40) but I did. On the right side towards the front, the polymer moulding tapers to a size which is almost perfect for a lazer sight with a weaver (not Pikatinny) mount. I just had to Dremel in a trench on the top and bottom for the mount to bite into. Two minute job, easy Peezy. Hardly needed any adjustment with wind did your elevation to zero it in.

Pros
Pros: Definitely the most bona fide and authentic piece in my collection. Feels great in the hands (a lot heaftier than I thought it would be) and shoots accurately with the iron sites. (I shoot at 25 feet because thats all the space I have in my workshop).

Cons
A bit finicky with what brand of BB it likes to eat. Likes Air Venturi and Umarex Steels, and Crosman Copperheads. Doesnt like Daisy. The first five or six shots are a bit glitchy, which I attribute to some kind of hiccough in my particular magazine and probably not inherent with the unit, but the remaining 45 shots are smooth as butter. I’ll be ordering a second magazine so hopefully that one will be glitch free.

Be sure to lube the co2 ends and magazine. Mind the correct zig zag pattern for the bbs in the mag and it won't jam. Have had good luck running Umarex steel bbs.

Pros
This amazing bb gun does as advertised. If you don't want to deal with the hassle and expense of a real MP-40, this one is for you. It soothes the craving for full auto ballistic therapy !

Cons
The folding stock should be angled down when deployed. It would be more comfortable for the shooter.

Definitely get an extra clip. I will be ordering one for sure.

Pros
This is very authentic in size and weight. A blast to shoot! Its really cheap fun to shoot all day for a couple bucks.

Cons
I would like to get a leather strap for it to complete the look.

I do recommend for its quality and accuracy. Would love to have a real MP40 after owning this. Seems to be very reliable after a couple thousand shots still shoots accurately and functions flawlessly.

Pros
Shoots faster than advertised. High quality build and authentic look. Is very accurate especially for its short barrel. Almost 100% metal. Shoot so fast you'll wonder if any BB's are even coming out.

Cons
The CO2 activation perforation screw has to be turned in way past flush. Failure to do so will only activate one CO2 canister instead of two. Magazines are so expensive. Needs an adapter for a charge air canister. Very heavy not really a con just be aware of it.

FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Pros
Beautiful replica of the M40. I love the weight, look, and all around feel. Shooting it is an absolute blast! Again the feel while shooting it is amazing with the blowback function. Must cock it before it'll fire the first shot just like a real gun. I can't say enough good on this gun! You may think it's a lot to pay for a BB gun (I did) but really it's not, you're spending a fraction of what a real any gun would cost you and most people cannot fire a real gun in their backyard whenever they feel like it. Not to mention the cost of BB & CO2 is a lot less than the cost of ammo these days!

Cons
Nothing!

I HAD A JAM IN THE FIRST 25 OR SO BB'S. A BB WAS LODGED RIGHT AT THE BREACH OF THE BARREL. I REINSERTED THE MAGIZINE THINKING THAT SUBSEQUENT SHOTS WOULD DISLODGE THE JAM. THIS DID NOT WORK AND NOW THE MAGIZINE IS STUCK AND WILL NOT RELEASE. THE METAL AT THIS LOCATION IS VERY SOFT AND IN TRYING TO REMOVE THE MAGIZINE I DAMAGED THE METAL ON BOTH SIDES. THE MAGIZINE WILL NOT RELEASE. I'M CERTAIN THIS IS AN ISOLATED OCCURANCE AND I JUST HAPPENED TO GET AN APPLE. I WILL LICK MY WOUNDS AND PURCHASE ANOTHER MP40 SOON.

Pros
I LIKE THE MP40. VERY REALISTIC.BEAUTIFUL GUN

Cons
I WOULD TRY TO IMPROVE THE MIAGIZINE DISCHARGE MECHANISM.

Get one they are cheap fun!

Pros
Great replica full auto you can shoot for little to nothing for hours. Great sound and feel. For those with loading issues take an old CO2 cartridge and cut the end off and drill out the tip to the size of a BB to make a loading funnel. Works great! Also add 2 dimes between the CO2 cartridges when loading for a snug fit

Cons
Needs larger CO2 capacity

Pros
if using the suggested bbs the jamming stop but the power is weak.i dont beleive its 450fps,the bbs bounce off a basketball,no penetration.looks very good and has a realistic feel.

Cons
weak

Pros
People with magazines/co2 problem: Put your CO2 in the magazine, then when you go to puncture, hold the magazine up to your ear so you can hear the sound of the CO2 puncture it's very quiet, then very gently unscrew until you hear air leaking, once you have confirmed that the co2s are punctured by hearing the CO2 leak gently tighten until the leak stops and you'll be good to go
