What's mind-boggling is the fact that in some parts of the US even BB guns like these are heavily regulated. Apparently in New Jersey they're concerned about a mass BB-spraying.
I was checking out the MP40, Thompson, and Grease Gun and many other full auto BB guns. I was VERY impressed the feel was real and most were priced around $250.
The Grease Gun is every bit as fun as the MP40. I also have the Thompson but for some reason it doesn't bring a smile to my face the way the other two do.
For loading you might try using a Crosman 'speed loader' like the one that comes with their DPMS SBR rifle. Like you alluded to, lubing the charger once it's full helps with the loading process.
I've got the WW2 Thompson M1A1 full auto gun. Its a blast and will slam through coffee cans. I have shot the MP40 also. Because of the style its not balanced and find it awkward to hold, the same probably was said for the original but they were cheap and effective weapons. Now the Thompson is balanced and feels good to shoot, hold and aim.
Ringing steel targets with steel BBs sure is fun but the bounce back / ricochets can be an issue. Yes, you had your eye protection on which is always needed but personally I'd proceed with caution especially with kids or pets nearby. Nice to see some gun channels bringing awareness of these fun plinkers to new audiences!!
Hey, I'm in my 70s in Canada, Trudo is taking our guns away. Umarex blow back guns are so much fun like Scootch00 can't stop smiling. Bluescateimer it is not too late, go and get one, two or more and have fun.
Umarex makes some really nice full auto bb guns. Its so much just to grab one and go in the back yard and pop some cans . Got a full auto m4 and have a the 50cal revolver. Now I got to get one of these. :)
If you use crosman CO2 carts, you need to put a dime or two between them when installing. Otherwise both carts will not be pierced. I have put over 12,000 bb's through mine. Also RWS oil each and every mag swap.
Airsoft is super fan and can be used as training. You get all geared up and shoot at something that actually shoots back. Not a piece of paper. And at the end of the day, everyone goes home. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it
@@sootch00 we love your channel. I’ve been a subscriber of your channel for years now. I started my own RUclips channel and would love your viewership and subscription if possible. Adventures Of Malibu And Dad. Thank you my friend.
I got the Thompson the M3 Grease gun and now the MP40. I never thought i would spend that kind of money on a BB gun since I could get a real gun like a new shotgun or something for the same price. But these bb guns are so much fun it's totally worth the money to me and it's going to be fun to break out the BB guns when i have company over at the house.
Even steel BBs have problems - your best bet is to go with the anodized BBs, like Hornady Black - that almost never gives you problems, so if you're having feed issues, use that. In theory, the mags are designed to pierce BOTH CO2 cartridges...when it works. Easiest way to load from a large container like that is to scoop up BBs in a straw and then feed them in. "There's a semi-auto setting" - LOL - yeah, like anyone uses that on this fun gun. Jokes aside, this gun is a joy to fire when it's working as you can cut a soda can in half with this sucker. This is a pure plinking gun - the first few shots on semi can roll a squirrel, but it's also not designed for range or accuracy - you get this purely to kill cans.
damn, I just bought it like 20 minutes ago and wish I read these reviews on the Copper coated steel BB's , ffs. I bought like 2500 of them. Ahh well, guess I'll have to buy some Hornady black.
@@machinegun3133 Yeah, folks don't read reviews on stuff until after they purchase the item these days - just looking for decision confirmation I guess. I did let Umarex know that was the problem which was causing so much negative feedback on the gun but for some inexplicable reason they never bothered updating nor adding any notes to the gun nor the website FAQ. It's really stupid and lazy of them as I know myself and countless others have spent years giving negative feedback on the thing until I stumbled across the solution and that has to have cost them countless sales as I've seen lots of folks responding with "thanks for the warning" or words which clearly indicated they were no longer going to purchase the gun. When you're screwing in the bottom of the mag to pierce the two CO2 cartridges, once it is flush and you hear the hiss, give it another full turn to turn and a half with the wrench so as to ensure you pierce the bottom cartridge - you'll only hear the top one pierce. Do this slowly and only 25-50% at a time, experimenting to figure out how far you need to additionally turn it as there are no replacement parts for the mags - you break it and you're dropping $50+ for an entirely new mag. Fiddle around with different brands of CO2 cartridges as well as I've found that there can be a few millimeters difference in length between brands, resulting in some brands NEVER piercing the bottom cartridge. Finally, you may find that you can't fully depress the trigger without it resetting on you and you needing to recock it, so if you find that you need to pull back the charging handle after every shot, experiment with just partially squeezing the trigger - just enough for it to fire - then don't pull it back any further. It took me two or three mags to get the hang of it but I can now cut a soda can in half and execute a full mag dump without issue. So be patient as once you've figured the gun out, it's an incredibly awesome toy and well worth the effort.
I use Bic ink pen barrels..remove the ink..has the butt plug and ink cap so they don't spill out if dropped..even has a 6 inch 4x4 wood block with holes drilled to put the ink pen barrels with preloaded to go BB's.
Wow! What a great informative and entertaining video. I bought one of those AR style Crosman auto bb rifles, it works sometimes, lots of problems with CO2 leaking. But gun fun, I'm sure I can tweak it to be more reliable. Cheers

if you havent yet use black hornady anodized bbs. mine runs amazingly never had a jam once and i found them to be way more accurate then all others. great review one of my absoulte favorite replicas i own. my second favorite is my grease gun lol
nice video. do you perhaps know how to dissasemble and re asseble the mp40? been thinking about biting the bullet and buying one of these but want to also know how to take it apart if needed
I paused the video around 7 minutes 35 seconds at the time of Commenting this i heard you say that there was no lock for the mag thing idk whats it called..but It actually did have a lock if you slide it to the bottom, then push right It will lock in place, so you don't have to hold it down. I'm just saying cause I own one
Great video, thank you! Subscribed just now :-) I have a question: I think the version you reviewed is the "normal" new look. Have you come across the "used" look version? If so, which one do you think looks better / would prefer to own? Thanks in advance if you do happen to answer!
Should practice burst fire instead of garden hose fire. I like mine. Pr it up with a blowback p08.Unarex has really slowed down its replica series guns. A shame
Your Channel has dropped off my radar alot and not easy to find you unless someone KNOWS to Search for the word Sooth. You are my FAVorite teacher on Survival Dispath
In Canada guns are heavily scrutinized both fire arms and air guns. Fire arms are fun, but nothing beats air guns. It is a different world than fire arms. Air guns are dangerous and are not toys.
its 300 euros, i wana buy this gun, but for realistic purposes i would love to get or make a silencer (supressor) so the sound it gives out seems more legit because it aint 9mm it gives out or whatever bullets the real deal taakes :D I Saw In A Movie Prop Wherehouse they have invented a way to make it look real with all the gunblast aand everything, they put a black isolaation tape in the ending of the barrel and they use ir sensitive led to flash when the tape reaches the sensor, its a SUPER SUPER small thing at the end or in the gun and it makes it look like you shoot real gun from a distance !@ all the light, flash, everything
Depends on what you mean by effective. You can hear it smack a tree at 75 yard. Go through soup cans at 20 feet. Speaking regarding my Thompson which uses the same power source.
@@Kiefy6886 GBB (gas blowback) or sometimes GBBR (gas blowback rifle) , it just means that its powered by some sort of gas like co2 or green gas (basically propane mixed with silicone oil so the gun is lubricated and works fine ) , the thing about blowback is that the slide / bolt moves every time you shoot just like in a real gun so you get some recoil and it makes it more realistic and fun to shoot
Used to have BB gun wars as a kid in the 70's, chest to feet, no head shots. Would have ruled the day with this one !
Sounds more civilized than our rock fights.
@@deskgamesix No shots above the armpits , one pump on the gun, didn't have the fancy CO'2 s yet, too young and broke
Older brother and his friends had BB gun fights too. They agreed no full auto when they came out. I guess their stupidity had a limit.
What's mind-boggling is the fact that in some parts of the US even BB guns like these are heavily regulated. Apparently in New Jersey they're concerned about a mass BB-spraying.
Tony Soprano would *not* be happy about that
Nerd drive by be like:
New Jersey isn’t really American though!
Just like California really should just slide off into the pacific
I live in bum duck Wisconsin and can’t purchase ANY Barra brand air guns, guess I’ll go buy a real gun at the range HEH
New Jersey is a prick state..

Who's got the Grease Gun? That would be sweet!
@@chrislang5659 search evike
I got the Thompson.
I got my mp40 around $235 bucks! Totally worth it!
Always like your videos, man!
Thank you for the time you put in!
Thanks Ryan! You started my morning off right 👍
That thing looks super cool and fun to just mess around with when you don’t want to have to clean a firearm after a range day.
I purchased this. I was not disappointed. Very cool replica. Happy to see you did a review on it.

I love mine. I even found an original version sling on eBay
I wished it came with a replica sling shoulder strap.
@@cynthiaclarke3979 There is a version of it called the Weathered mp40 which has a replica sling.

Thanks Kevin! It's a lot of fun at the range : )
God Bless you Brother!
@@sootch00 You bet, Peace & Grace.
I got mine from Amazon..no 4473 or $200.oo tax stamp..lol..this is as close to full auto as I will ever get..smiles.
BBs are 0.177 not 0.77 just want to make sure people don’t get confused thinking you are shooting huge steel balls. 😅😅😅
I have the Umarex Thompson and it is fun to shoot.
Me too....Mother faker shoots good and looks good enough to hang on your wall.

The hook at the end oc the barrel is a sub for a tripod so it can be hooked onto brick wills, car doors etc
Any one else see the bbs flying back by as he shot the steel at 3:38.
There’s a trick that I use to do is use a drinking straw fill the BB’s with the straw n hold it over the entire hole
I use Bic ink pen barrels..remove the ink..has the butt plug and ink cap so they don't spill out if dropped..even has a 6 inch 4x4 wood block with holes drilled to put the ink pen barrels with preloaded to go BB's.
Buck-Rail has a 14mm LH moderator for this and the Umarex DPMS SBR.

That's too bad yours isn't working!😢 I've got one, and so far, so good! I am now interested in using the steel bb's!
Use 100% silicone on the BBs and the clip. You will not have anymore problems. Silicone oil 100-200 CST thickness.

Thanks for another family fun idea.
We've had more fun with this. Everyone laughs after shooting it. Thanks Dale
@@sootch00love the smile at the one minute mark haha. That's the smile of a good time!
Update : I received mine today and there is a cut out for the notch at the very bottom of the mag to hold the spring. Ordered 12/28/23
The big grin on your face as you shoot this, says it all.
if you havent yet use black hornady anodized bbs. mine runs amazingly never had a jam once and i found them to be way more accurate then all others. great review one of my absoulte favorite replicas i own. my second favorite is my grease gun lol
Time to put the Dog Food bowl back out ,again. 🐭
Loved ❤
Awesome mp 40 airgun thanks for sharing sootch00
Keep the copper BBs oiled. Never had an issue with any of them.
Now, that sure is lots of fun !!
02:45 The real mp40 also used Bakelite plastic on the receiver like this one.
6:37 Are you serious about the 30+ round block?? Even in a BB gun???
Oh heck yeah. That looks fun.
The first min of this video had me rolling with laughter. Great vid
That's wild, Wish I had one when I was a kid
In England the full auto version is banned LOL
Awsome video, big fan of the channel over here in the UK and i have a big collection of Airguns an this video was a nice surprise, take care 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks Brother!
Love Me Some Sootch Videos
Thanks Brother!
Looks like a lot of fun.
Maybe the semi auto is actually 2 shot burst?I have not heard of 2 shot burst but 3 shot burst is common.
Depends on how much co2 you have left in the cartridge.
OMG THE SquirrelS WONT STAND A CHANCE
my childhood dream gun
German helmet cracked me up!
Hunting that wild pack of squirrels ?
These are a lot of fun
nice video. do you perhaps know how to dissasemble and re asseble the mp40? been thinking about biting the bullet and buying one of these but want to also know how to take it apart if needed

Is this a collector?
Is it sold in Indonesia ?
I don't have $24,000 for the real deal but I think I can swing this one.

There is no reason to lube the co2. The co2 are in an enclosed chamber.
Can it shoot plastic pellets?
Nope
