Guys, I really have a hard time understanding why you´re so fascinated by WW2 German guns..due to the German weapon laws, I cannot speak about handling of the real guns, but I had the chance to lay my hands on some airsoft replicas of the MP 42, MP 40 and the StG 43 ...and they´re literally a pain in the ass to play with. I also find these guns highly unaesthetic, for me they lack any appeal...besides the big downside of lacking a picantinny rail to attach sights to.
If you like German guns, maybe you should give the MP5 and MP7 a chance...I play both as backup weapons, they really feel smooth in the field. Mag change is heaven compared to the WW2 guns and they aren´t such a massive nuisance when carried in your loadout on the field. I also play the G3 and the G36, both superior to the WW2 guns as well when it ´s about effectivity and comfyness on the field.
What I also lack understanding of is: is it really satisfying to limit oneself to just replacing a gun part every now and then? I started playing airsoft just a couple of months ago and I´m already completely nuts about soldering new components like Mosfets and other little adaptations into my weapons, I already did several paint jobs in different camo styles on my guns and am constantly looking for new parts to further improve battlefield effectivity. Just yesterday I spent almost 2 hours on modifying 3 AEG (automatic electric gun) pistols, soldered mosfets and replaced the NimH power packs with LiPo pack plugs (1100 rpm full auto on 0,48 Joule according to my chrono....yeah!) for two Beretta P92s and one Desert Eagle replica...and tomorrow, those three pistols will get desert and woodland camo paintjobs. I can hardly imagine that replacing a part and firing a couple of rounds into some cans every once in a while really is as satisfying as what I do with my airsoft guns.
Well, German laws prohibit full auto firing mode on any airsoft gun that has more than 0.5 Joule , a bit of a disappointment, but luckily I´m only a one hour drive away from the next French airsoft field and 4 and a half hours drive from the next Chechoslovakian "hotzone", changing the selector plate is done in a couple of minutes and then it´s full auto and real moving targets...;)...honestly , guys, I´m not even the slightest bit envious....;)
