GSG MP40 9mm PAK

Its nice to see somebody actually releasing blank firing guns for the public.


Too bad you need a license for blank firers here in Sweden though ;/

Is there a reason by the way that some countries only allow semi automatic blank firers and not automatic ones?

These have been delayed yet again whilst GSG restructure their business. ETA July 2018......

Now out finally and available from a couple of retailers. Have put about 150 bangs through mine past couple of months, with no problems. Nice 4kg+ weight to it as well!

That is a very interesting question. I think, law and acts aren't neccesarily logical.
In Germany automatic blank fires are strictly prohibited (with draconic threat of punishment), and I hdon't have absolute no clue why.

I have had feedback from another retailer and a few buyers, very mixed views. Some are saying that it shakes itself "loose" and gets wobbly after 50 rounds others that have had no issues ? I guess it's a QC issue maybe? heard some also report extractor failure..... still seems a bargain price, though the metal plate to protect the user from the vent hole seems unpopular !!

Hi Johnny - I was under the impression the initial batch had ejector spring problems, but GSG had sorted this by the second run in mid-2016. Not heard of any problems since!?! The early versions also had firing pin channel issues. There's a good video on YouTube where a reviewer fires off 500 rounds in succession without issue (upgraded version). Pray tell if anything similar has manifested itself in the UK versions though....

The metal 'protector plate' near the vent hole is probably just Edgar Bros covering their arse. It can as you're no doubt aware be fired quite comfortably and safely with it removed.

Edited to add: I forgot to mention, the only issue I've had thus far is some of the paint finish on the stock is viscous and has come off in very tiny patches. A definite poor QC issue.
