Pinkfloyd Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I want one. Bad. But have no money and my GF would kill me if I bought Nazi equiptment. She made a big fuss about having a Schwastika on a helmet my friend gave me a few years back from a German SS unit... I don't know who she'd handle an Mp40... Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm interested how well it will be able to handle propane, or what needs to be done to it in order for it to reliably use it. Oo, I forgot about those "export versions" of Marushin's. Wonder how long it'll take for them to come out. Link to post Share on other sites
Guinness Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I love that we are all in the 'honeymoon' stage here, and don't get me wrong, I will own one of these- But I feel compelled to remind everyone that if by some stroke of magical luck this gun works reliably out of the box on green/propane whatever, and further, if it is actually skirmishable, out of the box..... It will be a Marushin first As a Marushin owner, I remind everyone that they are great for collectors, realism junkies- But skirmishable? That's what the full metal AGM's are for Hmmm...is it too soon to wonder out-loud if the Marushin blow-back system will port over to the AGM? Link to post Share on other sites
HermanTheGerman Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'm looking foward to this one, but every GBB SMG I have had, seems to break after very little use. Mind you the fun factor would make it worth it! Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Mind you the fun factor would make it worth it! Exactly. By the way, I've had a go on the export version M1 Garand and M2 Carbine and they are a blast. Only skirmish problem with the Garand is the ultra-realistic clip ejection - it would totally suck to always stop and hunt around on the ground for the ejected clip everytime you've shot 8 rounds...

snowman Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Well, as he's in Austria (assuming the flag's right), you'll find that his girlfriend isn't just worried what the neighbours might think - Nazi memoribillia is severly restricted there (for obvious reasons) and it's a crime to deny the Holocaust... Of course being Herman 'The German', you'd be the expert on this Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
HermanTheGerman Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Yeah I know about all the anti 'nazi' laws, but whilst you bring up the subject! Maybe getting his country's trousers back from their government would be a start! Link to post Share on other sites
HermanTheGerman Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 A lot of people on forums like to play the big man and argue! So to all concerned, pinkfloyd mate my comment was made in jest and was just a joke! Now my name should be clear before the anti nazi league get here! Link to post Share on other sites
El Cactus Loco Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Vintage ABS, now that made me chuckle....THEY DIDN'T HAVE ABS IN THE 1940's!!! lmao. actually, they had bakelite. it was used on the hand gaurd on the mp40, and developed at the beginning of the 1900's.

Guinness Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Vintage ABS, now that made me chuckle....THEY DIDN'T HAVE ABS IN THE 1940's!!! lmao. ...er um...... of course you realize what they mean there is an ABS gun made to look vintage right? We know that the gun isn't full metal like a TOP or an AGM, it's plastic as with most Marushins, so what I believe most of us realized is that they are releasing a 'weathered' look MP40 El Cactus Loco in spot on that Bakelite was used for the grips etc, and Bakelite is older than WWII, but again, they are talking about a ABS replica that appears to be 'vintage' ZOMG! An Airsoft MP40?!?!11212....THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TEH AIRSOFTS IN THE 1940's!! Link to post Share on other sites

Guinness Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 From the LA Gunshop site: LA Gunshop MP40 "MatBlack" (Matte) MP40 "Vintage" Apparently the 'Vintage' edition will represent the weapons use by Israeli forces during their Israel/Arab conflicts after the birth of the nation in 1948 A couple of interesting things, apparently like most new Marushin products, the MP40's will utilize the "LD-2" dual hop-up barrel system. And I think LA Gunshop shows they will be available this month, however the MP40 has not been listed on the SANKEN product list yet- I generally don't expect anything until it shows there. For instance, LA still shows the TM MAC10 as available shortly, yet it was SANKEN that broke the postponement news. Slainte! Link to post Share on other sites
