Legends MP

TLDR: Beautiful. Well built. Fun. Worth every dollar. I was apprehensive about buying this, but after only one day of having it I've burnt through about 20 Co2 canisters and a half bottle of BBs. Not a single jam so far. The weight feels spot on, the look was enough to paint a smile on my face the rest of the day, it's worth the price alone if just being used as a display piece, it's absolutely spot on. Accuracy is great out to 50ft the first 2 full mags you fire after that there's a bit of drop to the BBs but you can get 3 magazines out of 2 Co2 cartridges, otherwise you just swap them out early. Realoading the mags is a bit of a pain but if you lock the manual spring back and hold your BB bottle and the magazine over a pan it's nothing terrible. If you want sheer smile factor, this is absolutely a no brainer, I'm absolutely blown away with how fun this thing is. (Update as of 4/12/21) I purchased a couple extra mags, expect to pay 30$-50$ depending on who has them in stock. The airsoft rifle is still functioning like a top and I've now fired roughly 3000 bbs through it. At this point the only complaint I have is the original magazine has lost quite a bit of paint where it seats into the magwell and along the corners running the length of the mags, but for some the wear adds authenticity. I'm using Crossman 12g Powerlet Co2 cartridges, and Hornady Black diamond BBs. 20$ in total for 20 Co2 and 1500 BBs

Great gun very nice full auto locks on last shot. Never had a single jam even use copper BB just use a small incense stick to push BB to double stack properly. Mine has no issues and is customized I put a 14MM CCW suppressor on it and a replica leather MP-40 sling. If it really had leaking problems I believe its been fixed in this new version. The magazine also has a lock unlike older versions very nice refined gun I dont think it can get any better.

An excellent all metal SO2-powered air BB gun air rifle amazingly mimicking the real gun and have incredible fast auto firing speed and accuracy!

I started off by watching Youtube videos and reading reviews as this is my first large BB gun. I believe there were 4 main things so I'll talk about those. Co2 Consumption; This was a category I was particularly focused on, and after experiencing the gun myself I can say it is above average with Co2 consumption. You'll get around 120 shots per co2 change, the range of how many BB's a co2 cannister should shoot if it is 12g would be 35-100 shots. At 120 shots for 2 co2 cannisters that means per co2 you'll get 60 shots off. This is very good, as my Smith and Wesson BB pistol gets about 35ish shots per co2. I was satisfied. Power; I do not have special equipment to measure the FPS of this, but a Youtuber did. After shooting a full clip full auto he started testing the speed of the bullets on semi-auto. Each round did a respectable 470-490 FPS. And I can concur, the second mag feels and sounds like the first. You'll get some slowdown in power right as the co2 is about to empty, but all the previous shots have good power. Jamming; I cannot and have not seen any issue with this gun jamming. I bought this on January 24th, 2023 and I have never had an issue with the gun jamming. My Smith and Wesson pistol when you pull the slide back and forth a BB will load into the chamber, try to do it again with force and you can jam it. This BB gun does not do that, the BB seems to be shot out directly from the magazine, so if anything the magazine would jam and not the gun. You do need to pull the slide in order for it to shoot, but it does not put a BB directly in the chamber it just prepares it to shoot from the magazine. This is a plus in my opinion, because when my pistol jammed with a BB I had to field strip it and saw it out. Overall feel; This product is spectacular. The magazine size, power, sound and weight to the gun are all amazing. Only 1lb off the real deal, looks realistic and has a built in stock. You cannot go wrong buying this product. I also saw a reviewer saying their product was malfunctioning and they couldn't get into contact with Umarex support. I honestly do not believe that, I had a question and they got back to me within a day. UmarexUSA.com is their official website. Conclusion; Bought this on January 24th, 2023. Has not failed me since, and I still believe almost a year later that I made the correct decision buying this. Edit 12/9/2023; Also to add more details, I bought this product for one real reason, self-defense. I have had strange caricatures walk right into my hallway believing it is an apartment when in-fact it leads to my door upstairs. Even with a do not enter sign this has happened. I can assure you if anyone wants to break in etc. this would certainly make them think twice. The look of it and the power is amazing. This is not a child's toy. Edit 4/22/2024; Product is still working great, I use Crosman Co2 lube, with Crosman copper BB’s, and Crosman Co2 12g canisters. The Hornady black diamond BB’s are the best if you can get those Edit 10/26/2024; Still works great, I’ve put around 10,000 BB’s through it & hundreds of Co2 canisters, no issues thus far. Edit 3/25/2025; Still works great. No jamming or other issues. Works like the day I got it.

This is a really fun toy. It gives you a realistic feel of with it is like to shoot a real full auto submachinegun, with less noise and slightly less recoil. It does make noise as it is cycling that reminds me of shooting a suppressed 9mm using subsonic ammo. Very reminiscent of the suppressed MP5 that I fired in the Army. Not enough noise to bother your neighbors, but enough to tell you that your are shooting. The weight and heft is very realistic. I have always wanted a real MP40, but since I don't have an extra 20K laying around, this is the next best thing. I have just a couple of minor criticisms. First, it eats CO2 cartridges like candy, so much so that I wonder if it as close to as expensive to shoot as a real one. I get 2 magazines before my cartridges are empty. That's averaging one CO2 cartridge per magazine. And you can empty a 50 + magazine in seconds on full auto. Second, the magazine is a little hard to load. You have to pull back the spring, hold it and pour the bb's into a small hole. I tend to spill a lot, and because the tab to pull back the spring is so small, it slips from my thumb a lot before I've finished loading. It's makes you wish for three hands. With more practice, I'm sure I can work out a better system for loading. But overall, I like it. It's fun to blast holes through a target, and imagine what is was like to face one of these back in the day.

Bought this along with the M3 grease gun and both did not disappoint. Build Quality is top-notch. Has the looks, feel and weight of the real thing. A BLAST to shoot too. I have NO regrets purchasing both of these. The only thing that I wished Umarex had copied from the real MP40 was the angle of the stock when unfolded.

I need to find an easier way to load the magazine (there is a magnet at the top to pull up BBs but when loading, you need something smaller than my fingernail to push them down). Other than that, I have no complaints. There is a 3-way selector (safe, fire, and auto). Gun works well on all 3 settings. There is a cool feature where you have to have a BB in the magazine in order for the gun to fire so that it doesn't waste your CO2. I have been using the Crosman 12g CO2 tanks and the zinc plated BBs from Wal-Mart. The gun takes two CO2 tanks and the magazine holds roughly 53 BBs (I had seen claims of 50-60, 53 is the max it holds). I fired off two full magazines, maybe 6-10 single fire and the rest full auto and have not had to change the CO2 tanks yet. I have not had any jams or fail-to-feeds. I did not have any climb on full auto. This MP40 is virtually identical to my GSG MP-40 clone (.22LR) and is about the same price, but the BB gun actually seems to be better quality with more metal parts. The lower receiver and muzzle cap are brown-almost-black instead of black, I'm not sure why, but not a big deal to me. Overall, this thing is a lot of fun and you get good bang for your buck. This is definitely not a child's toy! I highly recommend this for adults.

My son received this for his birthday earlier this year and he loves it. It shoots lots of BBs in rapid succession. Yep, full auto as advertised. The Good: Very heavy duty construction, almost to the point of being burden some. Probably will last a lifetime. Full Auto just as advertised. The Bad: It takes 2 CO2 cartridges for operation and they don't last long at all. It eats BBs and CO2 like nobody's business. The magazine for the BBs is difficult to load for an adult much less a child. The magazine also gets jammed regularly as its too wide and the BBs jam against one another as they actually go into the gun. I've also found that the silver BBs get stuck less often than the copper-colored Copperhead brand. Both are .177 caliber but I guess the coating is a softer metal on the copper ones and just are more likely to stick. It is a fun unit and well made other than the issues stated above. I don't think it was worth the @$200 I paid for it but it was a birthday present and I wasn't about to return it because of the issues I felt it had.
