i would disagree. while i would like to see a bren gun or a Lee Enfield i have seen mosin nagants (albeit very expensive), M1 and thompsons. While i understand other guns such as the PPsh-41, M1A1 Carbines would be nice, dont forget that the same problem exists for the Axis side. Guns such as the MG42 have not been developed as with the FG42. same can be said for my favourite WWII gun, the G43. I am dying for a Full metal/Full wood AEG version to be made. hopefully all in due course (and by classic army ). atm, i would think that both sides are even:

Example:

Allies vs. Axis

Thompson vs. MP40
Marushin M1 vs. Tanaka Kar98k
TM M14>M1 conversion vs. (now) MP44

I think that its all pretty fair as far as weapons go.

The closest thing the Americans had to an MP-44 was their "assault rifle", the M2 Carbine. That's a GBB though isn't it?

Donster, yep, I'll have to go along with you and stand corrected. I was thinking more along the LMG lines to be honest though. I have to say, based on the games we've had up to this point, the Thompson and MP40 are pretty evenly matched, can't wait to see the MP44's in action.

I can't understand why Commonwealth weapons are not being produced, there is an obvious market for them, you hear so many that want the Enfield, Bren or Sten.

In this link are dozens of converted airsoft weapons... allied and axis alike, though I do agree that retailed WWII weaponry would outdo ANY conversion... I suppose, except those done from deactivated guns.

O some company will make a wood kit for the MP44 if you cant build your own, I think this gun will take off for AGM and with demand will come a kit. The 600 Rnd mag is sweet if not concerned about low or Med Caps,380-400 fps is awesome. If you tinker with your guns then a tight bore and playing with the hop up im sure will fix her up!! As I said earlier this gun will be a great boost for us WW11 Guys, and the CYMA Tommy M1A1 is a fine weapon for the allies to boot. "Meine Ehre Heisst Treue"

The AGM has a plastic stock and a wood stock version. Which is kinda cool. So no worries about making your own.

lol...someone earlier said the demand was high. That is so true. Damn Call of Duty. But isn't the mp44 slightly different than the stg44? ...Since Hitler was made to believe it was actually a machine pistol....(hence MP) Something about it just doesn't look as killer as the STG44, like its too short or something. Maybe I just don't know it well enough.

I think the agm version has a shorter stock. Just by the look of it. Something seems off to me.

The AGM gun is the same lenght as the real one.
940mm or 37 inches.
The dimensions also look just fine in the pictures, the video is slightly distorted.

Now where's the AGM PPsh-41 with drum mag?

I wonder how long it'll take before this MP-44 is available in Kanuckistan. Anyone know?
