Airsoft MP40

Post by VP »

Bought this nice Chinese Double Eagle M40 Airsoft from the marketplace of Vyborg, Russia on Sunday. 200 rubles, roughly 5.8 euros or 7.5 bucks. Spring powered, 6mm bullets.

My friend has a couple of these for filming. They work well enough I suppose, but they don't last in action scenes.

Yeah it feels really cheap, but makes a nice wall hanger and photographs pretty well.

Now you got something to Kill Nazis while you're fighting with your Dad.

It really does photograph well. Did it come with the strap or did you add it? It's a nice touch.

It came with it but I'm probably going to change it. It's short and way too flimsy.

Nah, I don't think plastic distresses well. ;) Probably just the strap if anything.

Sure it distresses well, just do it with silver paint on the edges instead ;)
