Hello
Does anyone know if any manufacturer makes a FG42? I would like to purchase one for my fallschimjager load out.
Shoei of Japan are doing a run of escort MG42s but they are eye-wateringly expensive. The only FG42 that I know of (also Shoei) are blank firers.
If only mate! As BedsnHerts says, Shoei make a very expensive model gun version and are planning an Escort GBB version but nobody else makes an Airsoft version. TBH, The FG42 is on nearly every axis players wish-list but unless you are a skilled machinist like Jay851 who has custom built one, its a bit of a pipe-dream im affraid 
Realistically if you want a skirmishable Axis primary weapon, your best choices are these:
AGM MP40 (AEG cheap and reliable)
Ultima MP44 (AEG V-nice but also V-expensive)
Tanaka Kar98k (Gas, Mid-range cost but very nice)
Kar98k Springer (Custom Build or have custom Built for you) Usually based on a VSR-10 or clone installed into a real K98 stock or converted Dboyi/Marushin Shell ejector
Ultima MG42 (AEG, V-V-Expensive but a beast)
Obviously if you have enough money anything is possible

To my knowledge no mainstream manufacturer makes one. Have a look on some of ther other sites and I believe some one is making one themselves.
It's just a matter of time. WWII is an expanding market and I predict that this time next year we'll be able to buy decent and affordable Chinese MG42s FJ42s, Grease guns and Garands. Remember when an MP40 was a pipe-dream???
Too true, with the market saturated with M4's, AK's ect, something new would be a refreshing change. We can but wait and hope. I'd be happy with a KAR 98 with a mag. Sadly my DIY ability is close enough to non existant.

I half agree with that, The Chinese are great at replicating but not at innovating, infact the MP40 is the only chinese airsoft gun so far with a "new" gearbox design. So an MG42? yes, they will just copy the Shoei/Ultima, But an FG42? unlikely IMO. Personally I think that is a good thing, or else we would have whole platoons of FJ's running around with FG42's which would be just wrong! I would like the MG42 though

this mob claim to produce an FG42 in plastic/wood for $990 plus the cost of a TM M16 to fit it in. Or on application a model with metal and wood (no price). Just casual interest really, but anyone had any experience of wwiiguns?
AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE!! Seriously bad reputation mate. 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
True. They are run by a bloke who has stiffed many people. theres a thread on arnies called what ever happened to that guy. the responses there are interesting to say the least.
Pink must give you a ring re transport to husky. drop us a PM. re suitable time. P
WWiiguns are red flaged on more sites than I care to link too. As has been posted you would be silly to give them your money.

Thanks. I had a feeling I had read something uncomplimentary on the subject in the distant past.
Fallshys main weapons were P38/luger and MP40/K98K plus of course the MG38/42 although its atremendous weapon the FG42 was rocking horse....
anyway come over to the light side and tote a tommy gun/enfield/garand..... 
Here's a video of Shoei's FG42 model gun. Can't quite see the point myself but there you go.
It has a very impressive and complicated flash supressor for a gun of those times.
