My collection is now complete, MP40, M1A1 and now the M3. All an absolute blast to shoot, they each have there own fire rates and feel. Couldn't be happier. Thank You Umarex.
Hornaday Black Diamond BB's are the only ones that I use. I've seen increased performance & accuracy across several platforms. Great video keep up the good work
The gun shown in the video is the M3A1 variant of the M3 Grease Gun, the M3 has a Cocking Handle which is actually a Crank Handle on the right side of the gun, crank the handle back to cock the bolt. That said, is the magazine compatible with the Umarex Legends M1A1 Thompson?
Hi 👋 Greetings from England 🇬🇧.. Hey loved watching 👀 this review. Thank you for your hard work . Will be buying this machine bb , when it's for sale in the UK . 🇬🇧... cheers Simon
Shortly to ruin your hopes and dreams due to the upcoming change in the stupid british UK law system that even posessing 1x single CO2 cartridge will land you a jail stretch of upto 3 years. Hence why i sold on my M4 Carbine and have gone with a .177 PCP air rifle.
@@simonnoble7589 You are legaly allowed to buy and own a "Sub 12" air pistol and air rifle at the moment. Whether that's a break barrel or under lever or side lever or PCP (but i reckon the way things are heading, even these will be changed to F.A.C) There is a gunsmiths near to where i live here in Buckinghamshire that sells quite a few CO2 powered guns. From pistols, sub machine guns/semi auto ONLY though and even CO2 powered rifles (The british S.M.L.E they currently have in stock at the moment). Check out Donaldsons Guns/Bletchley/Milton Keynes. They have a fantastic selection of firearms in stock and can even order in specific requested one's as long as the gun is within UK law, bud
Somewhat true to the M3, barrel nut and cocking hole on bolt. Early M3s with a cocking handle mechanism had problems and this was dropped in the M3A1 for the bolt finger hole as shown. Seems like the auto cyclic rate on this one is a bit higher than the real McCoy which fired 450/minute
Yeah, I'm wondering if there's a way to reduce the cyclic rate of this somehow. Just feels wrong to have it spraying like a PPSh instead of just chugging lethargically along
3 part question, as I'm new to BB guns : 1) Can you buy a scope/sight, to mount on this gun? 2) Once you install the canisters, how long can they sit in the gun without use? For example, if I fire three or four BB pellets, and don't use it again for up to 12 months, do the canisters still hold its gas, or does it slowly leak out, or become less effective? 3) Does the semiautomatic mode allow you to shoot one BB pellet at a time? Thanking you in advance for your answers.
Tyler Patner: hi Tyler question on the M3 Grease gun if you just want to use 1 CO2 cartridge where does empty one go…and where does full one go thank you Stan
The peep sight is bad (as the original smg was) and mine is leaning to the left. You will not get 60 BBs in the mag without a lot of jiggering although it does hold 60 BBs. The Co2 chamber plug is twice as long as the MP-40 or M1A1 Thompson plug. More importantly it is NOT steel but rather a white metal (die cast metal) and a great deal of care should be used to screw it in the first couple of times. The short 6mm hex wrench will not be effective, it does not have enough leverage for the hand. Use a longer 6mm hex wrench or some kind of extension, also make sure all of the gas is expended out of the Co2 chamber before removing the chamber plug.
Anyone else encounter the magazine😂 not puncturing one of the CO2’s? I purchased a 2nd magazine to check it and it does the same thing. As one person posted somewhere (I don’t remember where) It seems putting a small spacer the thickness of a dime is necessary between the CO2’s to resolve this issue. I inquired to Umarex regarding this and I was told to use Umarex CO2’s which I already am using and to send the mag in for repair. Before I did that, I purchased another new mag to find out it does the same thing.
late I know but, Yes Ive had this problem on all of mine, MP40, M1A1,M3. Not a great fix but I put 3 three little pieces of black electrical tape on the top of the co2 cartridge, this will get the second co2 cartridge to puncture.
Why does mag only hold 60 bb's when it holds 2 co2's that can shoot 120 ? I see its something to do with presssure probably to boast claims. Rather they hold 100 bb and one co2.
Crap. I thought I was done buying bb guns. I already have the Umarex M712, the M1A1, the Cowboy Rifle, the Colt Peacemaker, the MP40 and I now have the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 carbine. Now I need the M3A1. Thanks Umarex (he said sarcastically).
Imagine if Umarex or similar could produce a good MG 42 replica BB gun. Especially if they could reproduce that famous, "Buzz Saw",) rate of fire but with BBs.
I would love to see a PPSH or STG44 next from Umarex

Which one has the highest muzzle velocity and do you know if this would kill a rat that I have been chasing in my garage
What about the m1 carbine''', Luger po8 and the Mauser m712?😊
I've been waiting for a long time. I just purchased two and they arrived today ! Outstanding !!
Good for you, are they worth the money. They look great.
@@rudyr558 5 stars 🌟 ! They'll be gone before you know it !
Id love, love to see them do a Legends Tech 9...that gun is a staple of 80s action movies and deserves an air model
Myself and my Crew all carried one of these. They are designated weapons for all Armor (Tanks) Crew-members serving in the US Army.
I forgot to mention they fire.45 ACP and pack a wallop!
Hey , that's interesting 🤔 Rudy thanks .. Simon from England 🇬🇧 👌 🙌
Thank you for your service my good man
Hornaday Black Diamond BB's are the only ones that I use. I've seen increased performance & accuracy across several platforms. Great video keep up the good work
Awesome rifle. Love the way they look. Umarex do a fine job. 🎯
No doubt. Solid feel, solid look and good performance
The barrel unscrewing was a feature on the orginal so you could attach a suppressor:source simple history, brandon herras, garrand thumb.
In my replica air gun dreams I can't wait until PCP technology advances to where we see these replicas in .22-.30 cal.
Those legends guns are very good looking for sure!
_A bit of glue on the fun switch and it is ready to go_

Unfortunately not.
No.

Still waiting on my Grease Gun. Pre-ordered, but wasn't in the early group.
he's a real pro at filling that mag 2:12

I have these same questions! I plan to buy one within the next week or so so if I learn any of these answers I'll respond here.
Any way to adjust the
“feet per second?”
Very nice replica!
Definitely pondering on buying one.
Another winner!
Thanks Tyler, Great video and looks like could be a fun plinker
Will they make a pellet version?
Unlikely, but ya never know
2:37 My CO2 compartment is stuck. Can't turn either way. What can I use to loosen it up??
Tyler Patner: hi Tyler question on the M3 Grease gun if you just want to use 1 CO2 cartridge where does empty one go…and where does full one go thank you Stan
HUGE SUGGESTION
Use a 1-2 inch magnet to
soak up spilled BB's when
filling the magazine. 🥺😳
Please make Co2 Type 14 Nambu pistol too.

what's the feet per second ?
Spare mags only have a 30 round capacity?
Correct.
I can see this piece making very short work out of a hornet’s nest.
Just be ready to run!
I would first suggest a gas attack, sir.
Absolutely, just at a bit of a distance!
Just make sure they don’t make short work of you!

Tape is a great idea. Thank you. May God Bless.
Enjoyed the review!
Is it wrong I want a replica of a spaz 12 shotgun from Jurrasic Park?
The magazine looks very similar to the mp40 one can you use it on the mp40 and can you use the mp40 mag on this one?
No.
@@rmo52 dang
Yes, the MP40 mags do fit.
It would definitely give a burglar.
A case of the hornets nest.😂
Umerex only sent the email 12/09/22
Letting me know they were finally available to order.. which I promptly did.
is it possible to use an adapter and 88g co2 for more shots or does it not "adapt well" lol
I like it, but bbs all over still sucks while loading
A big bowl underneath you when loading works wonders.
Im thinking of buying this but i kinda wanna wait till shotshow 2024 to see what umarex announces
Can you ship to europe?
Excellent Grease Gun
Why does mag only hold 60 bb's when it holds 2 co2's that can shoot 120 ?
I see its something to do with presssure probably to boast claims. Rather they hold 100 bb and one co2.
Which do you think is "better", the M3 or the MP 40?
Statistically similar. More capacity in the Grease but it's a style issue. The MP40 begs for a swastica proofmark like my genuine P38.
It's not meant to be a super-accurate pinker, it's meant to be just a fun gun
And that it is, tons of fun
Crap. I thought I was done buying bb guns. I already have the Umarex M712, the M1A1, the Cowboy Rifle, the Colt Peacemaker, the MP40 and I now have the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 carbine. Now I need the M3A1. Thanks Umarex (he said sarcastically).

Top Notch
This is five times as accurate a real one in .45 ACP., And doesn't cost $35K.
Real ones are actually pretty accurate.
OK, but open bolts aren't known for accuracy.@@craigthescott5074
