I would just like to say that the HW 35 looks a damned sight nicer than the MP 40, or a Sten for that matter.

Actually, that's not quite accurate. The Patchett/Sterling is not a Sten derivative. It is an MP28 with a folding metal stock and the trigger group moved forward, a modified magazine, and a few detail improvements. Lovely SMG, but it's DNA is from the Hugo Schmeisser-designed MP18/28, not Shepherd and Turpin's Sten.

That's because it's an airgun.
Not a replica of a killing machine.
Never mind the MP40, I can't wait for a replica of the STG44 or FG42. Now that would be the cats nadgers
We've got the Walther/Umarex Uzi rep in .22LR down the club. Its pants!
Only trouble with all these replicas they use bl**dy bb`s. At the very least lets have some legal limit pellet firers.
Plus one on the L1A1!
Speaking of which, I have been testing an ex Brazilian Army Rossi EB79 of late and enjoyed the experience so much that I had to find one for myself. Luckily I did.
Oh and you were right about the MP40. A club member asked me what I would score it out of 10 this morning and my reply was 11!
I experienced a few jams and even when I missed the target, I was still enjoying the experience. This new Umarex is pure indulgence and I feel and I have to have one.

Must be Brexit as its a BB gun!
Hi John
Cool on the EB79, only seen these on internet. Wouldn't mind one myself.
I also will having the MP40, not experienced any jams. However the Black Umarex BBs fitted better in the mag than the silver ones can't remember what brand they are though.

Handled the two tone (battlefield) model in our toy shop today.
This is a very well made heavy replica priced at just under £300.
It's semi auto so it's a bit annoying.
Not Umarexs fault.
Not for me but worth a look for the quality.
