Ahhh...I like the way you allowed the suspense to build up, Marco, before delivering the punch line ;) :) Certainly a cut above japes like '"Pull my finger..!" etc., I assumed this MP40 is a replica, or deactivated. It is possible to buy MP40s chambered for .22 (legally in Switzerland), but most EU countries have fairly strict gun laws, including the Netherlands. :think:

Thanks mister!

It's a replica, for which I own the proper licence. ;-)
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

If I'm not mistaken, thats a 6mm firing MP40 ;)
The single/full auto selector is a dead give-away :P (Have the same one myself ;) )

Would that be the same as this 6mm Airsoft one, Arnie? This is described for some reason as an 'assault rifle'. :/ You'd think that 'MP' (Machine Pistol) would have given the vendor a clue.... :eh:

Yep. Thats the one :)
Notice the on/off switch under the pistol grip :P

But dont blame the vendors of Airsoft weapons. They dont really care that much about the classification, just that there are people who wants to buy it ;)
