- Hey guys, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed! This is a little different than what we usually do on the channel but when I got this in the mail I figured it was worth while putting a video out there on my first impression on it.

Great review, Thank you for sharing it with us.
This replica is great and looks pretty accurate to the real thing.
Take care.
Thanks for the comment Will! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and you are right it is quite a wonderful display piece! I hope to see you in the comments in the future.
@@warhistorygeek6013 No worries bud.
You sure will as I have subbed lol.
Take care.
Awesome review! This was all the information I was looking for! Seems like its worth the money for sure!
Thanks for the comment carpet! I'm glad that the video was helpful to you! I would say that compared to what options the collecting community had before, the price is great for what you're getting!
Nice review!👍
Thanks very much!
Awesome added to my list
Thanks for the comment Harleyrider! Glad you enjoyed the video! I can definitely recommend this model to you if you're looking for a nice display piece or for reenacting.
Great video!
Thanks for the comment GSG5master! I'm glad you enjoyed! Hope to see in the comments in the future!
Very nice video i have an Mg 42 but its an high-grade airsoft and I got a tripod for it and named it Helga 😊
Thanks for the comment MRT! That sounds like quite a cool display piece!
Which brand is the mg42 my friend?
Very nice review.
Thanks Dan!
I bought coach shotgun and sawn off shotgun and Ak from them. Loved the shotguns but Ak less then year fell part and was only ever used in display case but some how parts got lose and fell a part 😢.
Thanks for the comment Jeff! Sorry to hear that your AK replica fell apart. I've seen some similar situations but luckily I haven't had any bad experiences like that yet. 🤞
I'm from england and have a replica with moving parts love it my friend made a wooden tripod for it
Thanks for the comment Vic! Sounds like a nice set up you have over there!
Nice thanks.😌
Thanks for the comment RG-2112! I'm glad you enjoyed!
@@warhistorygeek6013
I just received the Stg 44. Nice company, the original 11lbs.😌
@@RG-2112 You're a lucky man! The Denix STG-44 has been on my list for a while now! I'm hoping to get my hands on one this year for a review! I hope you enjoy it!
Mobility. Transporting.
In War. Wow factor.
Not sure what you're referencing here Otis but thanks for the comment 👍
Damnit! Now I'm gonna get one. 😡just what I wanted to spend $450 on. But it'll be pretty darn cool.
Thanks for the comment kawythowy! I'm sorry to hear that I was too convincing in regards to whether or not you should get one of these haha! I can attest that you will not be disappointed however! I hope you enjoy!
Hoping they come out with the MG42. I’ve got my Denix MG34 and love it.
Thanks for the comment gruppenfuhrer! The MG34 is seriously a spectacular model both for display and reenacting. Not to mention of course it now made German light machine guns actually accessible to the majority of the hobby now! As for the MG42, I'm sure they will make it sometime down the line but at least according to the customer vote they held to determine they would produce the MG34, the FG-42 was the second highest result with the BAR after that so my guess would be one of those two will likely be next within the next couple years.
Is there that big of a difference between the two? The 42 and 34 I mean.
@@kawythowy867 ahhh yes
Obviously you’re not a history or gun buff.
Could I buy a different mg34 top cover and put it on the denix mg?
Thanks for the comment WW2Enthusiasts! In theory I believe you likely could put an original MG34 top cover on the denix model. However, I have yet to see that and I also wouldn't recommend it personally because I think you may have to do significant modifications to an original part to make it work. If you're looking to make the top cover open and close, just replace the catch at the end of the cover with an original spring loaded part. I have seen this done before and if done correctly it is very effective at making the top cover functional.
I suddenly feel an itch to purchase one, gut it and install some airsoft internals.
Thanks for the comment Some_Loser! Based on the construction I will be thoroughly impressed if you succeed in this project! If you go through with it make to share it around! I'd love to see the finished product. I hope to see you in the comments in the future!
@@warhistorygeek6013 as soon as I can save up for all the necessary parts. I travel for work, so getting the needed supplies is a little tougher. Still, this feels like it would be a fun project.
@@spiranomad Best of luck to you in the project! I am looking forward to seeing the finished product sometime in the future!
Neighbors.
Hey check-out the machine gun pointed out way....
O nice.., he's Just showing Off
Again.
......
Hi again Otis... Again not sure what you are referring to here but thanks for the comment.
@@warhistorygeek6013 ...you have a "MACHINEGUN" (albeit: FAKE) pointed at the neighbor's house!!! JUST SAYIN' ... (RETIRED U.S. ARMY NCO/DRILL SGT./BRADLEY MASTER GUNNER)
Can you place a dummy belt in it after you take the top part off.
Thanks for the comment John! From what I can tell the tray does allow for you place a dummy belt in it after you have fully removed the top part. You just won't be able to pull it through any further than where you've set it in the tray so I've seen the best way to display it is to leave the first part of the belt empty on the other side as if it had been fired the rest intact for a more interesting display.
@@warhistorygeek6013. Thanks for the reply. I'll be getting one of these to hang on the wall. 👍
Yes you can I did with mine
If you buy the extra 'spent' belts 'they come in 50 round sections' can you load with 8mm Mauser LIVE ammo? It would be Alittle pricey as 20 rounds of standard FMJ 8mm Mauser is $32 shipped. So for 150 rounds you would be looking at around $240 BUT THATBWOUKD LOOK REALLY COOL. IF you can do it. Is it possible??
@@kawythowy867 To answer your question, yes you can use live rounds as well! Anything standard sized 8mm round will work in a display with this replica! However, I generally do not recommend using live rounds in displays for safety reasons. But to each his own!
Approx' $1200 in Australia.
Thanks for the comment philheath!! Yikes on that price!!!! I'm sorry you guys down there have to deal with that!! Fortunately, as I described in the video, they're reasonably priced here in the US. Best of luck to you as well with your country's new restrictions. I was sad to hear that they succeeded in passing that legislation.
I have it too. 👊🏻Very good stuff. 💪🏻😎
Thanks for the comment Nacionalista! Glad to hear other people have picked up this great looking replica!
@@warhistorygeek6013 👌🏻👍🏻
Replikę MG34 nabyłem w zeszłym roku. Cena ok 500$.Bardzo dobrze wykonana.
Dodam , że ją trochę usprawniłem - można załadować taśmę z nabojami. Pracy nie dużo ale za to jest efekt.
Thanks for the comment Kazimierz! Glad to hear that you had similar experiences with yours!
@@kazimierzburzynski2538 Good work! A lot of collectors have done that as well. Adds to the aesthetic of the display for sure!
Those there Can fire blanks in sadly illegal is most countrys even that they cant even fire bullets that Can kill they Can only fire blanks so i kinda dont understand why they are illegal with out a Weapons permit
Thanks for the comment Bambi! As an American I will of course agree that it is very unfortunate how restrictive most countries are in the world in regards to firearms and firearm replicas. However it is worth noting that many blank only machine guns, particularly that of MG's, use many if not mostly authentic machine gun parts that can make sense as to why those countries then require permits or ban them from ownership.
This is like £800 in the UK oof
Thanks for the comment T Doran! Unfortunately it seems most nations out of the US have to pay an arm and a leg for these things! I hope that you can eventually get your hands on one of these. It really makes an awesome display piece! I hope to see you in the comments in the future!
