Snow Wolf MP-18 Airsoft AEG Submachine Gun

"WW1 nerd here, just bought on of these and I’m pretty stoked about it. It’s a great gun and feels very authentic as it is made out of the beautiful polished wood and metal. Now there is a few things I want to say about it well that I have observed:

1. While the store page claims this gun has a fps range of 300-310 I chronographed it myself and got a consistent reading of 370 fps with .20 g bbs. While that was a good thing for me I feel like it should be mentioned as that is a large fps difference and I understand many people wish to use this as a cqb weapon with lower fps. Still, I personally am glad the fps was higher than I expected.

2. With a 11v LiPo battery I achieved a fire rate of about 10 rps, for all you who want that info. I have also tried the gun with a 8v NiMh battery. I did not Chrono it but the fire rate looked to be the same.

3. Finally, upon the first day I had the gun the safety on it actually broke. Now when I flip the safety toggle on the gun it won’t actually prevent the trigger from working. I don’t know what caused it as I felt I was being gentle with the gun but it is what it is I guess.

Finally, if you were to ask me would I recommend this gun, I would give a definite yes. It is a super real looking and feeling historical replica that not only looks great but also performs very well too. With many historical replicas they only are used in plinking targets but with this Mp-18 you can easily dominate a battlefield just as well as you could with many other guns.

"I got this one not too long ago but was just able to use it during a match and I have to say I love it. Bit on the heavy side but its performance was astounding. Accurate and easy to use in cover and prone.

"Finally took my Mp-18 (it's actually an mp-28) into the field. It's fun, smooth, very solid. It weighs a ton so be sure to find a sling for it. I used a thompson sling at the time, but the real mp28 used a rather generic leather sling. Range/accuracy was great. I did use an 11.1 volt lipo in the stock, I think a lower voltage battery would give you the ability to suppress for a longer duration. Even though the mags hold 130 rounds, the go quick at 11 volts. Semi auto worked fine, hop up is easy to get at. The gun is a delightful surprise, very skirmishable. Magazines fit just fine in standard MP-40 pouches. One downer is it takes time to remember the saftey and selector switch positions which are not in the locations of a real MP-28. (cost cutting measure that I think was worth it). On that topic, Its a full metal and wood submachine gun for only 318... I think that's a great deal. Plus the mags are affordable too.
