also do these have blowback,

Mauser rounds used in FG42 (just as in 98k) are 7.92x57mm.

Shoei originally released some of their FG42 models as blowback. Don't know if factory made or kits only - see picture on Francky's page to see the kit (not available for a long, long time):

Shoei cartridges that you have linked to are for FG42 blowback version. Right now all FG42 are produced as dummy only, and they use different, dummy cartridges. I think they are the same size as real Mauser cartridges:

Tanaka cartridges that you linked to are blowback version made for Mauser 98k. This modelgun was initially manufactured by CMC, then Tanaka took over their moulds when CMC was closed, and now CAW got these. I'm not sure if these cartridges are the same as Shoei blowback version for FG42, they look different.

Hi
Thank you very much just what i was looking for i'm thinking of getting a FG42 (if they still make them) and a PFC kit.

arrr so they can't be made into PFC types.

I was asking about the Kar98 ones has i thought i might be able to use more real looking ones in the FG42.

FG42 is still made, it was re-released last year. This is a dummy version though.
Blowback kits were produced only once, a long time ago, and there are no plans to make another batch.
Long rifles had a lot of problems with reliable blowback, people also did not want to shoot these expensive pieces.

I was unable to find a blowback kit, see original thread here:
