    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.

    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.

    That's because it's an airgun.
    Not a replica of a killing machine.

    Hi John you won't be disappointed.

    Kind regards

    Mp40

    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!

    One step at a time eh.

    Graham from Armex said the next one should be the STG44, first ever Assault Rifle.

    How about a L1A1 anyone?

    The L1A1 would be different.

    Make a change from all the German stuff coming out.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Only trouble with all these replicas they use bl**dy bb`s. At the very least lets have some legal limit pellet firers.

    Exactly. A developed Lanchester with a folding stock.

    My Maruzen Mach 10 does the same - doesn't take long to empty a full mag if you don't take your finger of the trigger when in full auto

    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.

    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.

    Regards

    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.
