MG42
machinegun replica

Thanks
to AGM company, another real treat for history weaponry and
historical airsoft enthusiasts has emerged on the market. A long
awaited replica of well know, introduced in 1942 machinegun
Machinengewehr 42 – MG42. A
weapon that in hands of III Reich (but not only!) soldiers sow terror
on all fronts of World War II and during the years it gained cult
status.

It
can be determined at first glance that this is no toy but a solid
piece of metal. The dimensions and details are as close to original
as they can be, additionally thanks to full-metal structure the
weight is also righteous – it weighs nearly 7kg. The only parts
made from polymer are pistol grip (just like in the original) and bb
loader in the magazine.

Basic
components of the replica – receiver, outer barrel, barrel cover
and receiver cover – were made from homogenous zinc and aluminum
alloy. The bipod, magazine, charging handle, magazine mount cover and
other small elements, like sight base and barrel change lever were
made from steel. The whole is painted in matte black color, which
gives very realistic impression.

The
replica”s stock, just like in the original, is made from natural,
painted wood. Inside of the stock there is place for accumulator. The hop-up adjustment lever is located under the receiver
cover. Solid, steel bipod can be folded and secured under the barrel.
The original MG42 could be used as anti-aircraft gun, hence the
replica is equipped with set of AA type sights.

For
powering “The Hitler”s Saw”, a specially designed, reinforced
two-part gearbox was installed. Inside it has a set of steel gears,
chrome cylinder, driven piston head with bearing and 8mm ball
bearings. Additionally it has efficient, long 600mm inner barrel. The
gearbox has quick spring change system.

MG42
is fed from electric powered BOX type magazine, which is true copy of
the original one. It”s shell is made entirely from steel. The
magazine can store 2500 bb”s and is powered by 4 AA type batteries
(not included).

The
set includes:

– replica
– magazine
– user
