Look and feel is great

The magazine does not feed right basically makes the gun unusable

Its cool but does not function right

great gun full metal is heavy

Everything, the gun looks just like a weapon that has been in the field for some time and seen some action.

Nothing.

I got 180 shots using single shots and intermittent rapid fire on 2 cylinders. I used the rear sight up and at 10 yards the weapon was right on. My rapid fire was 5 to 9 bbs per trigger squeeze. Have fun and stay safe.

This has the look & feel of the real thing, very attractive.

I would certainly change the way the bbs are fed into the gun. I have only used this to shoot through 2 clips and I just removed the co2s and put it back in the box. I would get from NO SHOTS to as many as 8 shoots before having to remove the clip and reposition the bbs and make another attempt. I researched the problem on line and found that the bbs MUST BE IN A ZIG-ZAG POSITION to load properly. I purchased 2 of these and thought my son and I would have some fun with them---my mistake, they will probably end up being sold on line. I PREFER A BB GUN THAT I CAN SHOOT, NOT SPEND MORE THEN 1/2 OF MY TIME REALIGNING THE BBS.

If you want it for show or for re-enacting, go for it ~~ if you want it for shooting-KEEP LOOKING!

This products works great! I haven't had a single stoppage yet. I was surprised by the accuracy once you got used to it and learned to control it. The weathered version looks very authentic and looks virtually indistinguishable from the real thing hanging on the wall. It has the weight and feel of the real MP40 and this is about as close as most of us are going to get. I would recommend high quality BBs only and a bit of light lube here and there for care free shooting. This is a quality produce and I am very pleased with it.

Some people complain about loading the magazines. I use a little hook apparatus that I fashioned out of wire to hold the magazine button open and just pour the BBs in. I don't count them and make no effort to 'stagger' them, but they still shoot fine. I really don't see much to complain about.

Use high quality steel BBs and add a small bit of light lubricant to the bolt and magazine.

The gun as an overall is great for the collection. The Legend line always is a good buy. The weathered look is awesome and Recommend this version.

The loading system is ok but could be better. (experimented with some bb loaders but found a straw like tube to work the best.

Use a small plastic tube to reload, quick and easy. There is no video on how to attach the leather strap from Pyramid Air. They should make or link a good video.

When I took this gun out of the box I was blown away. I didn't expect the full scale and weight of the gun. Wow! I pulled out some books I have on German weapons and this MP40 is as close as u can get without paying for a class iii license and spending 20 grand. Looks great with my limited edition Luger. I'll have to fire up "Where Eagles Dare" this weekend.

I'd like the strap a little longer for me. Be cool to have the waffenampt markings on it. At least have MP40 stamped on the receiver.

Great gun if you're a WWII collector of movie fan.

Looks real. Good power. Seems to be durable because almost everithing that can be damaged is in the magazine and that is a change part.

It is a littlel heavy.

It is perfect

Nothing

Nothing

I like everything! It is all metal and probably weighs the same as the original. It's very authentic looking. It works perfectly very time. It actually has a lot more sound than you might think. It puts an instant grin on everyone's face that uses it.

I can't think of a single thing I would change..it's perfect the way it is.

don't shoot at anyone because it's more powerful than you would think. Also, look out for ricochets if shooting too close to a hard target or background.

Full Auto!!

The option to buy more magazines.

The gun has a high, "cool" factor. Be prepared for questions and stares.

This is awesome and is like the real thing!

To be able to change or rotate the strap up front to the other side like the original.

SPEED LOADER!

Great gun, looks and feels like the real Machine Pistol 40. All that gun and realism for a Great price!

If it was able to shoot pellets.

A fun, very much like the original piece of history.

The leather strap was marginally good

I waited to buy this version and glad I did. Not that it is probably better than the original but I prefer the weathered look. And it comes with a leather strap that I was going to buy anyway. This gun performs well, very accurate and reliable.From what I can determine the magazine is the same as the originals with no follower catch. I use Daisy Premium BBS and Crosman CO2. I bought a 5" Allen wrench for screwing down CO2 nut. The one in the box was too short for me-not enough torque.Just a couple of jams but easily cleared with a recharge of the bolt. I actually find that adds to the realism as the real guns were not perfect either. I did change the sling to the right side for more realism (imho) but either side works well. Overall very happy with my purchase

Magazine follower catch.

I found using my index finger pulling straight back works the best for loading. Also before loading first CO2 cartridges screw the nut as far as it will go to the stop. that will give an idea how far down it needs to go and the feel to puncture both cartridges. I lightly silicone sprayed the magazine spring and follower. Also, the end of the shoulder stock as that the folding shoulder piece was a bit tight.
