Fixes to the two common issues with this: 1. Extremely stiff stock lock pin: When you manage to get the pin out of the hole. Take the small wire thing that acts as a button out of the pin and put the pin back in. It will still be stiff to remove but nowhere near as bad. Just a little force to get it out 2. Dust cover door stuck open: Take the bar holding the door out. Get the spring and flip it the opposite way so it keeps the door shut as apposed to open. You can still open the door but youll have to hold it down with your finger if you're changing your hop up 3. Mag not feeding BBs: Get a piece of tape or velcro and place it on the left or right hand side of the mag slot. This is due to the metal getting worn from mag changing and not keeping mag in tight enough to allow a smooth ammo feed
I've got one of these, but not the upgraded version, mine shoots 1,4 Joules, very powerful and very accurate. Our field limit in SA is 1,5. Very heavy to use for a whole day though.
4:53 "My gun's bigger than yours!" Then there is me who has my LCT G3A3 on my lap while watching this video. I don't think your gun is bigger than mine lol.
I remember holding a real one before. The bulk of it makes it feel reliable, the magazine clicks in very nicely, and charging the handle... ooooh yeah... Also I just noticed the video is 19;45 in length... was that on purpose?
What kind of shipping did you choose when you ordered this gun? The usual EMS shipping is not available, but the more expensive FedEx is the only option. I am not really willing to pay shipping 50% of the guns value...
my agm stg44 is the best airsoft gun I have next best is my snow wolf kar98 with real wood stock both are such a delight to fire...the kar98 is rock solid and has never had a feed problem
Literally you grin the hole time watchi g this :) that guns so nice I want one now. Question since that's an m4 hop up do you think rotary units will fit?
Literally about to buy this thing! Along with the Matrix MP-40 and a luger as well Really excited! Was wondering though, does IT COME WITH a battery pack?
I wish I could have a gun would make my birthday coming up even better love airsoft but hard times here in Florida with this covid 19 shit keep doing a good job @airsoftmike
It was called the MP-43 / MP-44 so it saunded like a upgrade of the MP-40. Because hitller dident want to divelop a new type of rifle wen it was prisented to hitller he named it to the STG-44.
It was named machine pistol because hitler hated the idea of an fully automatic rifle so they had to hide it while it was in development as a submachine gun. In his mind there were bolt action rifles for the infantry man, sub machine guns for the officers and machine guns for the support squads. Hitler named it sturmgewehr when they finally showed its true power to him and he instantly fell in love with it. Atleast thats how I know, it may be entirely wrong.
No hate to mike or anything. Amazing video and production/review of the STG-44 but the reason behind it (and the aforementioned MP-40 at the beginning) was called a “machine pistol” is because during the war and subsequently the development/production of the MP-40 and MP-44 was to hide the production of the guns from Hitler cause he had initially cancelled the production of the STG-44 deeming it “unnecessary and uneeded” since they had the MP-40 but eventually once the gun was field tested and soldiers actually liked it Hitler green lit for more guns to be made and the name changed from MP-44 to STG-44
Just checking but do you know if this is legal in canada?. I wanted to see about getting into airsoft but i didnt want to get a cheap airsoft rifle , mostly wanted either this or the Airsoft PPSH-41.
Does the stg have a threaded barrel and if not could you add one? Also is the fps 350 or under? Because I would love to bring it to CQB(I know sounds stupid)
Hey mike, listen I'm pretty new to your channel, more just an armchair gun/weapons fan who used to fire airsoft/BB guns at my mates in a field when we was kids lol..... anyway was wondering if you would do a list of good arena's in the UK that are any good for a skirmish. TIA
Hello, may I have a question, please ? I would like to start with airsoft and don't know which gun to use. Can you help me out ? Should I choose Delta Armory or Lancer Tactical ?
would recommend you have hop unit swapped out to a lonex hop unit just because agm ones are a not best quality another good upgrade that's worth doing is swap the nozzle to a shs red nozzle had my stg for years with this set up.
Just to bad it's not a stg44 A stg44 has a different outer barrel , it's, straight not stepped A stg does not have a nut at the end of the barrel. A mp43 does. A stg has no "wings" at the rear sight, a mp43 has. So now you think it's a mp43 : nope The ventholes are different and the frontsight is different. So it's a mp43/stg44 hybride
Veeeery nice! I wanted to ask: how do you do the accuracy test? Is it with one of those sighting benches? Cause that would be great, no human element in it

, it's, straight not stepped
