Looks very nice, especially the reciever Not liking the blowback, though

[jond36]

The blowback will probably be fixed ok with a Mosfet, but don't the colors look wierd. Nice model though.

[iaamagnum]

Looks like another quality product is on its way from src. Im sure the coloration will be fixed

Too many MP40's we need more chinese creativity.

Too many MP40's we need more chinese creativity.

I'm sorry, One ancient Bellows system, one Chineese clone, one springer, and now this.... And that's two many?

A total of ONE released skirmishable MP40, with another on the way, and you're complaining of too many? I'm sure you're rather happy with the number of AK's and armalites coming out, though, aren't you?

Contribute usefully or shut up.

Ze coloration ist just ze bakelite, it's in ordnung. There were bakelite und there were all black versions (I hope SRC will make all black versions too). About creativity...I must say that up until now there's has NOT been any good MP40-AEGs released. My sources say the AGM is just pure rubbish. And MP40 is really ein frisch breeze if you compare it to all the M4-variants released.

I for one will definitely buy one. It will hang casually across my shoulder wherever I go!
You can play as CIA in SouthEast Asia, mercenary in the Congo, early Bond-villain or WWII-partisan...or maybe even as Wehrmacht!

Viel spass, oder was?

Not liking the hi-cap. Otherwise looks very promising, although I have always been a bit sceptical about blowback on AEGs. Hope this one turns out fine.

[Habakure]

Depending on price and if this is any good, I may consider gettign this over the AGM one. Am pretty sure there are some problems with the AGM one but they are easily fixed and considering the price is well worth it. I'll try to dig up the information.

My sources say the AGM is just pure rubbish.

Which translates as "I was told/I read on a forum it was rubbish, but i've never actually handled/used one myself"

Speaking from personal experience the AGM is ok. It's certainly not great, but its not entirely "rubbish".

Vell vell vell, thanks for the great info - I really like your style! You probably know a lot more than you're telling, eh?

[L4byr1nth]

I wonder what Wikipedia says on the subject?



FireSupport are doing a fully upgraded AGM MP40, completely skirmishable, for about £300.00.

Ben.

[SFC_Tako]

Nice one, Ben!
I'd completely missed that one http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product-info.php?id=1832
One piece barrel instead of the old two-piecer! Lots of Systema and Guarder parts, 355 fps if need be. Rather interesting. A contender against SRC's MP40, to say the least

[AceOfSkulls]

the colour is fine, its the bakelite one

[Habakure]

I wonder where Guinness is, as he has an MP40 by AGM and I asked him once what it was like, can't seem to find the message at the moment though. Am just going by pure memory here.

Something to do with the Hop-Up not being that good and its best not to expect it to be accurate with out tweeking.

So just this video to go off, hmmm, would be interested if the price was no more than £250 as I think anything more than that would be a stretch (I mena £250 to buy from say WGCshop or uncompany etc, not from retailers in the uk)

The AGM is a superb gun for the money. Realistic ROF, full metal and very sturdy. Doesn't need downgrading and the only downer (very small) I can see it that the hop's a bit of a fiddle.
Used mine loads and love it.

The SRC looks pants - weak blowback and a hicap we don't need.

[Ferrarilove1]

I think my post was misunderstood. All I meant was that there is already an AGM MP40 out and now the SRC one so there are bound to be more. I'm not at all comparing it to the amount of M4 or AK's I just would like to see a nice PPSh-41, Sten MKII and III, XM8, MG34 and 42, Bizon, PMK and an RPD.

[MDK_Marshal]

Yes. For every single time that anybody ever made a WWII Gun, a thousand companies followed suit and did the same.

Moving on to sensible matters, my sources tell me that the AGM MP40 is really a rather good gun; My sources being myself and my experience with a few of them.

little bit of fettling to get the gearbox running smoothly and they're pretty darned good. I personally prefer to mod them to full-atuo only and remove the silly switches, but that's personal preference, and I know a guy who prefers to have all of them...

In any case; Good to see more people doing WWII guns. Maybe with enough time there'll be some sort of variety in them.

[QQexDERA]

I wonder what Wikipedia says on the subject?

And whats that supposed to mean?

I own two TOP MP40's and two AGM ones. All have been fettled (some more than others!) and used extensively. I think I know my way around them by now.


Anyway, returning to the topic, personally I'm not much of a fan of blowback AEG's - It's just something (else) to go wrong. Wonder what happened to that MP41 they were supposed to be working on as well?

[CSAirsoftJunkie]

Why must companies add blowback... it's noisy and looks cheezy. Hopefully there is a way to dissable it.
