Marushin's MP40... PFC and Gas BlowBack Airsoft comparison

Just to say thanks on the heads up on the seals, what a difference it makes, no more gas spewing everywhere but inside the mag. Such a cheap huge improvement got to wonder why they don't make them with the seal. I think you are right on power as well I does seem to perform better.
The seal works so well I tried it on my auto 9 and 93r and it works great on those as well, in fact these seals work so well I have bought more and intend to fit them to all my gbb mags. Thanks again mate a great upgrade.

It's utterly staggering that such a high end manufacturer as Marushin didn't fit something as cheap and basic as a simple O-ring on ANY of their GBB mag fill nozzles in the first place - bloody ridiculous if you ask me!! WE and KWA do, as both my WE AK and M4 have them, along with my KWA M11 too. Glad it worked mate anyway and I'd wager they'd be good for PFC cartridges too ☺

I guess another to throw in the mix on this one would be the newly released Umarex Co2 powered mp40, steel bb airgun. Aesthetics look good, but strip down is different to the Marushins and bolt safety indent is blocked off. Definitely not tempted to flog the GBB Marushin for it, but definitely going to wait for the GSG PAK version, whenever that appears...

looks really good

Hi Phil - it does look good (assuming you're talking about the Umarex version?) The biggest  problem for purists though is that it comes under the Firearms Regs and is limited to semi-auto as of course the mass produced blank version is.  No working safety indent is also a detraction on the Umarex. What annoys me more than anything though, is the fact these have been released almost instantaneously to the uk market in semi mode, along with the rest of Europe (in full auto for some countries), meaning both Armex (the uk importer) and Umarex (the licencee) have got it right as usual, by talking to the manufacturer (probably KWC)

On the flip side, Edgar Brothers and GSG have been caught severely on the hop with their MP40 pak imports to the UK through nothing less than poor research. Blank firers are taking a big back seat when compared to AirSoft and Airgun replicas, yet Bruni and the importers thereof (ive no idea who?) have palpably set the standard for barrel insert hardness back in 2012...Kudos on the MP38 btw
