Hmm ... What am I doing here? Ooh this is hard ... it was rude last night...
Eh? Why I have it in my hands?
Ah well ... maybe I'll introduce you then! It might be a good idea.
Hello everyone and welcome to this video of the China Made PPK, but I've also a Maruzen. So I’ll give you a short video review for this December, for Christmas.
And actually no, we didn't care. No. I will present you the most beautiful WW2 airsoft gun in the world. OK? It will change a little stuff.
Oh boy. Hello to all. So I will make a review of the MG42 machine gun.
Hello everyone and welcome to this new video review! This month, I'll show you the MG42 from Shoei.
First, we'll start with the traditional history of this weapon.
And yes, I say "weapon" and not "airsoft gun". If I'd say "airsoft gun", it would give it!
Why MG42? Simply because at the beginning of WW2, the German army had the MG34. But the concern is that it was very expensive to manufacture and had disadvantages.
In 1939, it was Metall und Johannes Lachierwarenfabrik Grossfuss AG.
I won't say it again.
So Metall und Johannes Lachierwarenfabrik Grossfuss AG.
I've done it. I said twice. But I cheated.
So what are specialists stamped ("embouti" in french) metal...
I DIDN'T SAY BOUNTY
They were therefore responsible for the evolution of the MG34. They are inspired by the mechanism of the MP40, and at first it gave this, the MG39.
Why all flash suppressors at the time had a trumpet end?
They took half the time to build, and it was mostly that the problem : build a more efficient but less expensive gun, and took less time to make. It was 150h to produce MG34. For a single machine gun, it was too much.
They also abandoned the fire selector, and thus was born the MG42.
There are at least 4 companies who mass-produced: Grossfuss, Mauser-Werke, Gustloff-Werke and Steyr-Daimler-Puch.
You have selected? Because I don't. In all, we had 400,000 copies which were built between 1942 and 1945.
Its main feature was its rate of fire: 1800 early and 1200 to the end of the war. So when it fired, they couldn't distinguish the sound of each shot: it was the "Hitler's saw"
It was lighter than the MG34 and less sensitive to dust.
Here we go for bad jokes...
Consequence: the barrel heated VERY quickly. So it was necessary to quick change, it was possible to do it between 6 and 8 seconds. And two or three barrels were supplied as spare for each team gunners. During a barrel was heating, the other two were cooling.
The MG42 could be mounted on the MG34 tripod "Lafette". ("la fete" = the party in french)
So predictable and too easy...
Its use on armored was very limited because the MG34 warmed slower due to its heavier barrel.
Even today, there is always the MG3, direct derivative of the MG42, which is used in many armies in the world, but in a different caliber. Other pieces have inspired more or less modern fabrications, such as M60 or the Minimi.
Next is the presentation of the airsoft gun. We'll start with the things that hurt : the price.
Airsoft gun only costs about $1,800. (The version with wood stick is even more expensive)
Want to add a drum? $300 ; Power supply: $300. And then we add all accessories.
It comes from Japan, so $ 200 shipping and $ 350 customs. So $ 550 just to get the box. It hurts too. So the total : it gives us a total of $ 2,950 to be able to shoot with this airsoft gun.
The price is a big drawback, I admit, but there was nevertheless a slight advantage (from my point of view). For this airsoft gun, you must be really passionate, and have faith. Everybody can't get it, you will NEVER start the airsoft with this machine gun. This is for people who really want, for those who are willing to sacrifice two months' salary to buy this airsoft gun.
This airsoft gun is enough rare to be legendary. And yet, this is not a legend, MG really exists! And for proof, it's about 10 years Shoei makes this airsoft gun, and I have the 1655th. This is not much. But you'll quickly understand why it's expensive.
In fact, if I disgusts you now, stop this video. There are very good reviews M4 cybergun on YouTube. And anyway I don't care. If you listen to me right now, is that your view is already counted on my video!
And as Harry Potter says, it is not the player who chooses his airsoft gun, the airsoft gun chooses the player. He doesn't say it Harry Potter? This is crap!
Acquiring this airsoft gun, you introduce the MAGIC in your games!
Neo approved
Well... I had to refrain from any leave for a year and a half to be able to offer me... I don't describe you how was my c**k when I received the package!
You should know that this gun was manufactured by Shoei, which is in only 3 people in Japan. Shoei manufactures all of its pieces by hand to 80%.
This is the ecstasy of East Asia!
If they are not happy with the quality of a part? They remake directly! So our MG42 here is more beautiful than real!
Why is it so expensive? Because it is handmade as I said, but more importantly, to make a batch of 150 MG, it takes them four months.
Which is also a strong if you ever have the misfortune to break a piece: they remake you another! But after, you have to pay the same price in shipping as for part, but that's another problem.
The pack includes: machine gun, a bipod, a band with 5 false cartridges. (The others were already mine) It also receives a copy of cartridge box, very nice copy. A black rubber tube with an adapter for small CO2 cartridges not sold in Europe, so you can throw it. And finally, you get a magazine, I'll come back later on it.
Weight: 7.2kg with bipod. You may say "it's heavy", but not enough for my taste, the real was 11.4 kg. Too bad, they could have put a little more weight, even if it would cost more in shipping, but it is a choice.
The stock is removable by pressing the small button below, and turning 90 degrees. It is very well reproduced and a small markings on the inside. Please do not do that if the mechanism is cocked, the stock is used to secure and maintain the entire mechanism. And if there is pressure, it can happen that the mechanism shifts slightly.
I've Bakelite version, but there is also the wood version is slightly more expensive (on demand) What? You don't know the meaning of "Bakelite" ? Well, I'll explain:
BAC(calaureate) S, you know? For Scientists. BAC ES: for business. BAC L: for literary. BAC elite for elite troops. Example: U.S. paratroopers had!
We won the war, we Americans. Normal, I have my BAC Elite.
We'll open the top cover, and discover the mechanism. It's weird, is not as usual. This is the “Escort” system developed by Nobuji Tawada. – Enchanted, I’m neo. - You will say “oh, they are inspired by the Polar Star system." Well no, it is a derivative, but Escort was the first to arrive on the market (there are almost 10 years). Everything is adjusted to the millimeter, is truly impressive. Here is a short video shot with this mechanism.
I have here the second generation of this system. The first firing at this rate.
Safety (mechanical) is located above the handle. It blocks the trigger.
Besides, you say «they had this during WW2 on the top cover? Neo035?" Shoei has accepted to add a marking on the top cover. Why? Just because I don’t know many people who has a airsoft gun with the hand engraved manufacturer , and so, I will NEVER tried to sell it, even if financial glitch ! Because a airsoft gun like that, it doesn’t sell...
I sleep with it...
So unless changing the top cover (therefore more money to spend), I could never sell it, and anyway, I don’t want!
You can see here we have a rail, in which is put this little button. Be careful when you fired and that the mechanism is not revenue neutral , that you cannot do if the air is because there is no semi mode, you'll have trouble to recover the location of the rail, closing, since we have a spring here .
This cover is fixed by a pin. To remove, unnecessary force like a fool, just find the right angle to this axis (90 °).
Remove this axis is essential if you want to change this part. It is that which serves to hold the Drums. Originally, there were this one, is shortened.
One that allows to hang the drums is $300. Finally, 160 if you buy it with the MG. So then why is not sold with the complete machine gun, I don’t know. Maybe a Japanese law... But we must think of controlling the feeding tray with the airsoft gun, it will save the shipping costs and customs fees.
It has a small mark on the airsoft gun “Shoei Made in japan” well realized. And beautiful markings on the left side. Very realistic marking! Must buy an original for this marking, the Chinese copy of S&T, G&G and AGM and won’t have this marking! The number is UNIQUE for each airsoft gun, and each airsoft gun is listed at Shoei. I have the airsoft gun No 1655. This means that there was before 1654.
