Umarex Legends MP40 BB Submachine Gun

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

Won't feed in semi or full auto, even with pulling back charging handle each time-----WHY???????

Pros
Great reproduction

Cons
my response see below

Pros
Came sooner then expected

Cons
I think 3 co2's would make a big difference

Nothing

Pros
I have owned the M40 and the M1A1 Thompson BB guns for about two years now and they are fun to shoot! I do not have any problems with the Crossman C02 cartages. But I do like the silver BBs they seem to work better especially with the M1A1 Thompson. I did have a problem, I kept having to reload the darn things so I bought three extra clops for each BB gun. It was a big pain the reload 4 clips all of the time BBs everywhere especially trying to hold the spring-loaded BB nub catch to stay open while loading. So, I designed a way to load the clips very fast, it only takes a few seconds (about 3sec each clip) with no spilled BBs. I also bought a longer Allen wrench because it was difficult to judge when the C02 cartridges were punctured. I friend and war game with Plaster of Paris WWII tanks (look on YouTube “mrdstony” to see those tanks 1/35 scale), anyway we needed a close in weapon for out game and the legends guns are prefect.

Cons
Sometimes the guns seem to jam after about several hundred rounds or after the silicon oil builds up after repeated C02 a little spray of WD40 seems to clear it up, just remember to use the silicon oil after shooting on the seals of the gum.
