AGM MP007 based.
Removed fire mode selector and revamped lower receiver to have authentic looking.
Removed Cut Off Lever, Full-Auto Only


Very interesting, if they start to get the complete range, Gunner is going to have some serious compeition in the clone market.

I doubt they would carry complete range. If they were going to do so, they would have done it already. Gunsnguys for example, been stocking few chinese clones for sometime now.

MP40 is on WGC because it is WGC's custom AEG. It's not just out of box item.

That does seem a more likely direction for the main retailers to go in: take the cheaper guns that aren't available from the "proper" manufacturers, and tune them up to standards. Gives people who aren't comfortable with working extensively on guns the chance to get (in this case) a decent MP40.

And with WGC 'modding it' and apparently upgrading it as well, and offering it now (at least for pre-order) less than any of the other sources....noted exception Gunner of course-

Really makes me more curious as to what the real net-net cost on these things is- WGC doesn't do anything w/o making a profit- as well they should- but I just wonder what the real price on these things are $50 bucks? less?





unsure.gif I just had a horrible vision of dimly lit, smoke-filled sweatshops full of Chinese children and grandmothers working 18 hour days to make toyguns for pittance......... ohmy.gif


....I wonder how long til they release a clone Thompson or Greasegun?...maybe we can get them to work 20 hours a day, think? wink.gif

Airsoftforce sells them for $170 more than anyone else on the planet. ohmy.gif

Or, let me put it another way-

WGC is having a "two for one" sale! Buy one AGM MP0 at $290, get another one free! and two bags of bbs!!

and oh yeah, it shoots harder!

And did I mention that we removed the silly selector switch?

i can definately see them extending the range, even to ones that TM/CA/ICS already make, just because of impulse buys.

i mean if im ordering a GBB or AEG from HK, and i see them selling a $50 cyma AK, i would go for it, because the increase in postage would not be that much.

Its not a 'chinese', its a normal/high end AEG. This was stated a while ago on the news page.

It's full auto only, so there is a big chance the spring is left compressed.
And also, there are no mags avaivable at WGC.

For giggles I placed a pre-order for one of these. When I got the price quote from WGC it listed the gun at $120 and the shipping at $72. With shipping that high and not even being able to order mags too, I canceled it.

Take a look at GunsnGuys for MP40 magazines because they list it at their "New Released"-section. Yesterday, i ordered 5 magazines from GnG.
