Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
Hmm... of all the guns they could have built, they build one that was never used on the front line..
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Yeah Gunfire has these on sale, and they've been offering them on pre-order for a long long time, I notice that the manual for their MP40 also shows pictures of the MP41 and has done since the MP40 was released, so I guess it's been a while in the planning.
The extra goodies you get with it don't look great either, certainly not enough to justify the price!
The SR40 manual in question:
Sorry for the bad photo, was taken on my phone.
I've fired a bullet on every continent. Nearly hit someone, too.

Says who? It was in Enemy at the gates so that must be true surely
Like this shot of the HG Div guy far Left
looks like Luftwaffe had them or aquired them hmmmm
and last but not least
So I guess the 3rd picture confirms they were used in the front room............... sorry front line
PS made my own a while back shoots like a demon and not many people have them
So I guess the 3rd picture confirms they were used in the front room............... sorry front line
Solid photographic research Gordon
Lol, and lets no forget that the Arfix africa korp has them. So if nothing else if a toy soldier can have one a person playing like a toy soldier can have one.

Hatchet jobbing an Airfix FJ with a Mini Gun tonight, then.
You've established my defence!
I think you'll find you will need to do more than more one to justify common usage.

Teammate just picked one up and it stripped a piston within 2 mags. Disappointment to say the least. I found the profile to be really high in relation to the stock and receiver. Nice feel to shoulder the gun though but overall I wasn't too terribly impressed.

I heard this about the SRC mp40 EBB doing this. Was he using a 9.6v or higher battery?
Was a 7.4V lipo 15C I believe.

I thought it was pretty standard fare now to know that disabling the EBB on the SR40 (MP40) gearbox was the way to go. Mine has upgraded (JG) gears and the EBB disconnected and it shoots very well - as good as my ASG Sten, though I'm only a 'back garden plinker type'. That said, I'd never buy another AEG - I just hate the way they operate. As a collector, I've found SRC are excellent replicas, but flawed due to AEG format. I prefer GBB's or Blank Firers (PFC firers can be a pain and they are overpriced nowadays, but better for me than AEG's!). Though I am keen to see any new WW2 replicas, AEG's come last for me. I believe there is a GBB Thompson in the making and possibly going to be released this year!!?? Can't wait - as a non-skirmisher, but avid collector, its my kind of thing!!
The problem is that, for some reason, the airsoft manufacturers listen to the collectors instead of the players - and then give us designs like the Dboys K98...
