Umarex Legends MP40 BB Submachine Gun

I bought this after seeing a review on Youtube. It is a very fun bb gun to shoot. Like a real machine gun, accuracy is not superb, but it feels and acts like a machine gun but with bbs. One small downside is that it takes 2 CO2 cartridges at a time and you basically get 3 50-round magazines out of the cartridges with the last one losing some oomph. It comes with one mag, but I encourage anyone buying this rifle, to also buy at least one extra magazine. Overall, I really enjoy this. If they could find a way to speed up loading the magazines, it would be worthy of a 5-star rating.

Too much fun. Every one of my friends that pick this up for the first time, can't believe it's a BB gun..The feel and weight is to much like the real thing...Recommend at least 1 extra clip, I have 2 and will be getting 2 more...Great gun, great fun!

I love the gun for it's looks and accuracy Only fault , will jam with a full mag. I read on line not to exceed 48 BBs which cured the problem

I bought two of them and I am glad I did. They feel like they could be real. I have shot around 15 mags with NO problems. The more you shoot it the more fun it is. The sound echoing off the house just puts a big grin on your face. I purchased 8 extra mags, over kill maybe. You will want at least 2. Use the black steel bbs. Get you some old milk jugs and have it. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome fully auto BB gun! Mine required steel BB's, tried copper coated and had jamming issues. After contacting AGD about the jamming issue they sent me a bottle of Umarex steel BB's (at not cost/great customer service) and they worked perfect. Have not had any jamming issues since. The directions do say to use only steel ammo. The look and feel of this gun is amazing, can only imagine it's very much like the real thing. You won't be disappointed with this gun!

I have owned this gun for approx. 6 months. I enjoy shooting this gun, its well constructed and very realistic. I do continue to have feed problems with the magazine no matter what type and brand of bb i try. If iload the mag at under 20 bbs this does seem to eliminate that problem. This is a realistic replica of the real mp 40 well built and a quality gun.

Alot of fun to shoot. Loading the magazine with BB's is a little cumbersome. But the guns shoots great and is pretty accurate. Feels like a real mp40 in your hand

Reloading can be tedious, but otherwise a whole lot of fun! Cool factor 11

I enjoy shooting Umarexs MP40 when everything works. It is challenging to load the magazines but Ive figured out that using a straw, toothpick, and bracing the magazine at a slant on a table top it is not too bad. My criticism of the design is the CO2 loading system. Getting both cylinders properly punctured is largely guesswork. If you only get one of the cylinders punctured, you get anemic and short winded performance. If, on the other hand, you OVER puncture the cylinders in the effort to assure they are both punctured, you will hear the gas rushing out and obviously not providing much performance for very long. On 3 of the 4 magazines I could back the co2 handle off when that happened and the seals would then hold but obviously a lot of gas already escaped by then. I could hear the puncture sound occasionally and could tell when to stop puncturing and got the proper performance including finishing off 2 magazines of BBs. I did use the already suggested idea of placing 2 washers between the cylinders.

The Original product had a manufacturing defect in the Magazine that prevented it from working properly. I called Customer service and they walked me through the process to replace it. They also managed to have the replacement back to me quickly. Customer service was exceptionally professional and concerned about my problem, and saw to it that I was satisfied. The replacement product worked perfectly. I wish to thank the customer service personnel who so graciously and efficiently helped me with my problem. I have recommended Air Gun Depot to my friends as the best place to purchase equipment

Gun jams up constantly. Full auto nice when it works but never can make it through a magazine with out some type of jam. Thinking about returning.

well made. looks like the real thing.

Feed jams occur repeatedly with EVERY full magazine. It's fun to shoot, sure, but not so much fun to stop and fiddle with the follower spring 3 or 4 times to make it through a magazine. And this thing is an absolute HOG when it comes to CO2 usage. It takes two CO2 cartridges at a time - and you won't make it through two full magazines on those two cartridges.

This air gun s built very well and looks almost identical to the original. It is fun to shoot and ti is also fairly accurate. Minus two stars because it jams quite often, especially when fully loaded. The magazine needs to be redesigned but other than that, this thing is amazing!

The delivery was very fast.this gun is very realistic,heavy,feels and shoot like a real firearm.the first 40 to 50 shots are powerful but not as powerful as i thought.its fairly accurate but it often misfire due to the spring or the kind of bbs(daisy zinc coated steel bbs).i didnt have this problem while using the umarex brand.And,loading the mag should be improved but its not that bad.overall its a super cool toy

I got the MP40 for Christmas (I have the Best Girlfriend Ever!!!) and tried some Copperhead BB's which immediately jammed. After inspecting them (They're not even really round & the copper dust fouls up everything) I bought some Daisy Precision Zinc Coated BB's & haven't had an issue since. There is a staggered order that you have to load the BB's in for them to fire smoothly & to hold the spring back while loading I have to thank Starbucks because I use their green coffee cup lid plug/stirrer & made speed loaders out of their straws that I melted on both ends. The CO2 cartridges work fine but I thought wasteful so I had a machinist make me a few prototype magazine HPA plugs that I'm now testing & will be leaving a review on the gateway to airguns site if anyone's interested. I would definitely recommend buying more clips!!! (If they ever go on sale) & I made my own authentic looking leather strap w/star buttons on each end to tote it around with that works fine. THE NEIGHBORS/COPS WILL DEFINATELY FREAK OUT IF THEY DONT KNOW IT'S A BB GUN SO PLEASE BE SMART & HAVE FUN!!!!

Read all the reviews and bought one. Fast shipping. This gun looks and feels like the real thing. Read the instructions right out of the box, loaded it up, went outback and let it rip. Went through 1000 bb's in two days. No problems. The magazine is a pain to load, so just bought another so I can fire more between reloads. Super fun. You won't regret buying this.

Great looking gun. Great feeling gun. Shoots pretty well, but feeding the BBs into the mag can pose a challenge. Making up a loading tube from 1/4 inch clear hose helped slow down the spilling of BBs all over the place when trying to get them in the tiny mag hole. But still have to put them in the tube one by one. NOT as very user friendly loading setup. Follower spring is hardly strong enough to push the BBs up to the breach.

My sons and I had a blast plinking our weathervane. No problems at all. It does take a little getting used to loading. We blew thru 4 CO2 cartridges in a matter of minutes. The gun really looks and acts like a real machine gun. Loads of fun.

After reading the manual it was easy to get started. loading the magazine was tedious at first but after about my 5th full loading I was able to hold the BB's in my cupped left hand and with time easily letting the BB's fall into the very small chamber hole. You get about 2full magazines worth of shooting per 2Can of co2. It's fun to shoot auto&semi but you'll find yourself reloading the co2's often. However, I live this piece!

This is awesome very realistic fast action. I was able to get a strap for it loads of fun. Wished I could have the real thing. But at least Im legal . Totally recommend it.

This is so realistic and fun to shoot. delivery was prompt

Great Gun for squirll hunnting !!!

From the first time I shot this gun the clip jammed. It has jammed up every time I've shot it. Researching this problem I found a few things that seem to help but nothing I've done has eliminated the jamming. I would really like to be able to shoot this gun like their advertisement says it should.

The first one arrived badly damaged. AGD replaced it with no questions asked. It looked very real right out of the box. I was hitting swinging soda bottles at 40 feet on a regular basis. I found to avoid jams, don't fill the magazine all the way. Stop at 40 to 45 BB's. The magazine claims to double stack when loading, by loading to less then max capacity it didn't seem to matter. I keeped all moving parts well lubed with pel-gun oil. Have had no jams so far. My wife also loves to shoot it, buy complains about the weight. I have shot the real thing, I think they were about equal in weight.

This gun is exceptionally well built. Hell, it might even be built better than the real thing. It has mass and a lot of metal. It also has all the amenities that the original probably had. The only problem is; the Mag needs work and better instructions on how to install the CO2 Cartridges. I bought the original that comes with 1 Mag. Turns out that you really do need to shoot steel BB's. No Problem. You also need to lube it with their RWS oil) EXPENSIVE! The other thing is, it uses 2 CO2 cartridges, Great! But, there is a problem loading them. #1, you don't know how far to turn the Piercing Screw. I have not been able to get both CO2 cartridges to be pierced and there basically any clear instructions. I ordered a new magazine and still, the same problem: the lower gets pierced and the upper one does not. Plus, if you tighten the piercing screw too much, the O-Ring gets mangled. On both magazines! I have kind of solved the problem by dropping in the first CO2 cartridge and then dropping in a penny and putting in the top CO2 cartridge. The bottom cartridge gets pierced and so does the top cartridge. Have only done it twice since cartridges are so expensive. The MAGAZINE needs work! Overall, the gun is worth the price. I hope when they come out with a better engineered magazine and, they give us first buyers the opportunity to trade in our magazines for the better ones! All in All; 4 out of 5 stars. Fun MoFo gun to shoot!!!

I wanted a repeater to go after the gray and red squirrels that over run my property every year. I would like to be able to dispatch in one shot but my aim not as good as their speed. The little varmints know when I come out the door and are ready, boy are they in for a surprise. Have already ran about 700 steel BB's through and I am impressed with the aim and power. But I know how them buggers will move just as I pull the trigger ,now I can follow them with 50 more BB'S in a heart beat. You can't miss!

I've always wanted a MP40 ever since I saw Where Eagles Dare, but a real one is extremely expensive, and the replica firearms are semi-auto only, and are really nothing more than an oversized pistol. But the Legend MP gives fun full-auto action that I can't get enough of. It takes a minute to find the sweet spot in loading the mags, but after that, it has been flawless. It relentlessly chews one can after another. I recommend getting an extra mag, just to save time in between loading . The mags take a little getting used to load, but after a few, I was loading them in no time at all.

Shots great just wish I could shot more than 40 shots. I wish they also made it easier to load the magazine.

Amazing!! The accuracy was better than expected. I had no trouble loading as many BBs as I could get in the magazine and I never had a misfire. My only issue, initially, was not tightening the screw enough to pierce both of the CO2 cartridges. The best part: the enjoyment factor is off the charts. The MP40 is well worth the money (with or without the 10% discount). I enthusiastically recommend this replica. When not in use, display it your wall, its well made and a joy to look at.

Nice weight for the gun. Lots of fun to shoot. Had some shooting buds try it out and some are going to get one too. great gun.

Just received my MP 40. I was amazed how solid this gun feels. Its put together very well and the weight of the gun feels like the real thing. I will be shooting it this weekend.. cant wait!

I bought this gun for my son for Christmas, we both like the feel and weight of the gun. The only major down fall of this gun is the ammo feeding system. We got jam after jam in the feeding system that we shot more air then bb's. For me this was very frustrating as we had to keep taking the clip out to try and get the bb's to feed. From other reviews we've read were not the only ones experiencing this problem. Very disappointed with this gun .

When I saw a YouTube video on the MP40 I knew I had to have one. After i figured out you can put the magazine in backwards, I began to have a lot of fun. It seems very accurate as well. The grandkids also had fun with it, although because of its realistic weight, it was difficult for the youngest to shoot. The co2 cartridges lasted for 5-6 magazines. The only issue I had with it was loading bbs. The tab to pull back the spring should lock in place to make loading the bbs easier. Its difficult to hold with just your fingers. Also, the bbs stack in a staggered fashion, which is not always even. Other than that I would highly recommend it.

A LOT OF FUN SHOULD HAVE A MAG' FOLLOWER LOCK!

My son and i absolutely love this gun it feels 100% like the real one the rate of fire is crazy and its way more accurate than i thought it was gonna be and airgun depot is an amazing site to get all your bb needs and wants at the best price and fastest shipping on the net i absolutely love this site and will definitely go here for all my air gun needs i am 180% pleased and satisfied with all my orders from airgun depot thank you so much and look forward to doin business with you in the near future

The look and feel of this Umarex product is exceptional. Functionally Umarex could have done better on on the magazine works. The mag is difficult to load and fails to fire about 50% of the time. I have tried different brand bb's but the problem seems to be the design of the mag itself. It could be a one-off problem though with the magazine...but I have no way of knowing since I only have the one mag and nothing to compare it too. Thought about buying an additional mag but they are pretty expensive.

Received in almost no time.Fast shipping.When I got the package,I knew something special was inside.It was heavy!I took it out and looked at the quality workmanship.I lubed the bolt slide and the clip slide with RWS air chamber lube.I then put the CO2 cartridges in the clip,loaded it with the max amount of Hornady diamond BBs.I inserted the clip with a loud click.I moved the safety switch to full auto,and proceeded to release 60 BBs in about 3 seconds down range at some soup cans.I stood there in awe.I have not shot a full auto gun since Viet Nam.This has to be the greatest P40 submachine replica ever made.I put over 400 rounds through it without one jam! I mean how is that for quality?It even punched holes in the steel cans.Empty water bottles were knocked all over the place.What fun without the cost of real ammo and resrictions.Now when I watch a war movie and other action movies,I see P40 submachine guns everywhere.I have to say again what a great gun.

Very impressed with detail and construction

Recently purchased and happily owning this amazing MP, I took it to my neighbors house and he almost had a heart attack when firing full auto. Wishing the stock was a bit bigger but it manages quite fine, 10/10 would buy again!

Very pleased with the overall machining and construction of this piece. This is a solid, heavy weight gun replica. Accuracy is more than acceptable for a non-precision (non-target grade) BB gun. Its performance on full auto is impressive and about as close as you can get to legally owning a machine gun minus the heavy red tape and taxes. Use of high quality very smooth BB's is recommended as well as fresh, quality CO2 cartridges. It is fairly easy to load BB's quickly. I do recommend a second magazine for quick reloads as you will burn through BB's quite rapidly on full auto. A very fun gun at a great price.

Bought this here a month ago. The reviews seemed generally positive so I dropped the cash for it. First off, it's an impressive all metal replica if nothing else. The look and the feel are just impressive. Unfortunately, I ordered some Crossman Copperheads to go with it. An old time good BB from my teen years that always worked well. The gun jammed relentlessly with the Copperheads. I was on the verge of thinking the gun was at fault so I bought some Hornady Black Diamond BB's. THE BLACK DIAMONDS FEED FLAWLESSLY. What a relief. So it's an awesome fun plinker for paper targets, cans, plastic bottles, etc. The blowback action is really neat. This gun is a just a bunch of fun. It's nice to just blast away and not be overly concerned with accuracy and range. The only drawback for me are the non-adjustable sights. Mine shoots slightly left and low. If it was a target gun it would be a deal breaker. But it isn't. It's a fun fun fun spray gun.

I had a rough start with my MP40 order: could not get it to function when It arrived. I followed the instructions in the manual-no luck. I returned it for evaluation and it was shipped back to me QUICKLY! When the new one (or old one repaired? No note.) was tried; same problem. I called AIRGUNDEPOT service number and was excellently helped by Casey (good guy!!).He was patient with me as I tried to get it to work step-by-step. Finally, he figured out that the manual has a misprint... The magazine must have BBs loaded to get the airgun to function!!! (This May have been the problem w/ the 1st airgun!) I loaded a magazine and the FUN started!! Great airgun!

the gun works great very well made. great gun but the clips work like garbage the wont feed for nothing. it just wastes co2, even on semi auto its shots 3 or 4 bbs then stuck again you have to pull on the little piece on the spring in clip just to get half of the bbs to shot . very disappointing . plus i been waiting to recive a return lable now for over 2 weeks. i know its the holidays but come on 2 weeks

Looks like the real mp 40 All metal construction the folding stock deploys very nice

I got his for my 16 year old son. He is a world War 2 history buff so I know he will love it as a show piece. I told him I was getting him a gift that I wanted to nake sure it worked before I gave it to him so I tested it out. The barrel is a smooth boor and not very tight. So the grouping wasent extremely tight. It was a fun to shoot especially on full auto. I was able to shoot about 100 BBs on the two CO2 cartridges it takes to operate. The first 50 were fairly consistent in speed.

This is great and lots of fun. Thanks

Everything worked perfect ! no problems at all love it!

Heft and weight of a real MP. Reasonable price. Cant wait to take it out plinking. A real one from ATI cost in excess of $600. minus the folding stock. I weighed the options and decided to get the BB version, as it provides the folding stock making the presentation more like the actual MP40. Only drawback is one magazine and no sling.

right out of the box you will love it!

This is a fun little gun to shoot and it looks real! It's mostly metal especially where it should be. I'm very happy with the purchase!

I really love the gun. It is a ball to shoot! Looks and feels like the real thing. The only thing I do not like, is I have trouble loading the BB's. It is difficult to load, because the spring will not lock in the loading position. You have to hold the spring back and load the BB's one at a time. I wish there was some sort of tool you could use to hold the spring back while loading. Otherwise I love the gun!!!

This is a faithful replica of the original German MP40. From the weight to the action there's nothing like it. The cycling rate is just right; it doesn't blow through co2 and bb's, yet it's not too slow that you don't get the full-auto-fun sensation! Make sure you cut a small round leather disc to fit inbetween the two co2 cartridges. This will give a little leeway for the co2 screen to tighten down without over tighting, thus ruining the O-ring on the screw. How do I know this? ;)

The MP40 is the most enjoyable gun i own After Umarexs service dept fixed the oring in the magazine it ran great. I'm getting the p172 next have to have them both....Great product great company keep us shooting huraa...

The loading clip doesn't have a spring catch to hold it down, so it doesn't make it easy to load the b.b's.

Bought it along with an M712 "Schnellfeuer". Neither disappointed as they look and feel like the real deal. Full auto will put a big smile on your face.

I just received my umarex legends MP40. The magazine is not feeding bb's although the gun is cycling Co2 correctly during auto selected fire. There appears to be some rough edges in the magazine internal metal feed area preventing the smooth and consistant ammo feed. Can this be remedied with a defect free replacement magazine? Or any other troubleshooting that I have not tried. I have checked, cleaned and used airgun lubricant with no change.

From the time you take it out of the box, you can't put it down. This gun feels and shoots like the real thing and you wind up shooting this gun and leaving all the rest in the gun safe feeling ignored. If you want to get your Rambo on, this is the ticket for you.

at first glance it looks and feels like the real thingout of the box(I have held and shot one before). after awhile the differance can be noticed. After getting broke in it mows cans great.

The heft of the MP-40 is very close to the WW II ones I have held. Fit and finish is impressive. I found I have to flip up the higher rear sight to find zero. Once that was done I found the sights dead on. I have been able to fire 75 BBs with 2 CO2 cartridges using single shot combined with short burst. I lube like is called for and have only used bulk pack Daisy BBs from Wal-Mart with Zero problems.

Fun weapon to shoot. Weight, accuracy and full auto make this a must have BB gun.

I love this gun it's the best gun in my collection the wait on it is fantastic it shoots awesome seldom ever James it couldn't look more real or or feel more real

Well at first I thought I payed $200 dollars for wall hanger I had Crossman copper head BB on hand tried several times to load and shoot them but they would jam up in the mag . very disappointed they became so jam up that I had to take a small screw driver and brake them lose in the mag ! So I thought what the hell went to wall Mart and purchased some Daisy BBs zinc plated ultra smooth to my surprise they worked flawlessly have not had any problem with these BBs no jams at all .got some black diamond BBs but have not tried them out yet. so I most deathly do not recommend shooting Crossman copper BBs in this gun.

I have a nice collection of co2 guns. The MP40 is among my top 3 favorites.

I was experiencing 3-4 jams per magazine with Copperhead BBs and wasting a lot of CO2. A squirt of silicone spray on the follower helped a little. Then I tried the Hornady black BBs, which feel much smoother to the touch. I can now cram the magazine with as many BBs as I can fit with zero jams.

It functioned better than expected. The blow back gives it a nice jolt. Reasonably accurate. It's loud when used indoors.

The only major complaint I have about this firearm is with the magazine. You can read it repeatedly in the reviews of this BB rifle. The magazine is not only difficult to load, ripping the tips of the fingernails ( not good for a 71 YO fingernail I can assure you) but the magazine jams, jams, jams. I have tried several brands of BBs and it is the same with all. I have noticed that the problem "starts" at the junction of the sheet metal magazine body and the cast top. For some reason the BBs do not "flow" over this junction well and even if alternate they can still hang up. Is this fixable? I don't know, but it sure does spoil the fun of this MP. Also, the gun will fire without shooting a BB in both semi and auto mode- terrible waste of CO2. Other wise a very nice replica of the MP40, but I should have just stuck with my MP40 airsoft which works without a hitch.

gun jams right out of box over all looks finish were great but i was quite disappointed with the performance would not recommend it unless you aren't planning on shooting it.

Great fun once you figure out it must be loaded before you can 'test' it. Book says to load the CO2 and listen for the gas escaping then load magazine in the gun (without BBs) and test. Well, you can't hear the gas release in the magazine and it will not fire without a BB in the magazine. Thought I had a defective magazine and called in to AirGun and Greg knew right away what the problem was. Advised to load it with BB's and then test it, ignoring the lack of sound of gas releasing in magazine. Poof! Worked like a champ. I've been able to get about 3 good magazine loads (full loads without any jams). On the 4th magazine load on same CO2 I did get jams with a full mag. This is a great replica and really fun. Using the Hornady Black Diamond BB's which are great. Accuracy with fresh CO2 (1st and 2d magazines) is excellent. About 2 inches at 15 feet or so. On full auto it just depends on how steady you can hold it. Loading the BBs is a challenge. I found using a straw, close to the BB diameter is about the best solution. Holding the follower back is also a challenge as the tab you must pull down doesn't give you much to hold on to. Using a ball point pen or something similar gives you room to hold it back while loading with the straw.

It is heavy, feels so real. Looks great. Only hitch is magazine feed sticks at times even though I filled it with only about 32 bb but this seems when on full auto not single shot. I love it, my best friends little grand son had a blast shooting it. I'd recommend it whole heartedly.

to have the gun work proper, use Hornady Black Diamond BBs. UX UMAREX has them listed... smooth anodized finish,,,,they are friction free and work great,,,the copper coated ones jam.

As with other guns in the "Legends" line, this one doesn't disappoint. At 11 lbs, it's quality, fit and finish is noticeable the second you pick it up. The rate of fire in full auto is great fun, you can hollow out a can in no time. The range on it being almost rifle length also opens up possibilities for more distant targets. I love that it stops firing on the last BB, saving CO2. I look forward to the weathered version coming out, I'll be sure to pick that one up too!

GREAT GUN WOULD BUY AGAIN THE CON IS MAGZ SSSRE 43.00 OR MORE WITH SHIPPING AAGD COUL ELIMINAATE SSHIPPING COSSTS ALLTOGETHER AND STILL PROFIT EBAY SALES FOR SAME ITEMS ARE CHEAPER AND FREE SHIPPING GREAT GUN

This is a super fun BB gun to shoot. I am getting about 4 mags out of a charge if I let it warm up between sessions.

This looks very realistic feels realistic and everything else its an amazing conversation piece the only bad thing about this gun is the magazine should hold more rounds other than that this gun is flawless
