Double Eagle HK UMP

Well...

In short, don't buy

It was my second choice rifle, but it looks cool. I've used it twice in the 6 months or so i have it.

First off the battery sucks. There's no info on how long to charge it for (unless you can read Korean).

The safety catch broke off on the right hand side.

The magazine doesn't feed properly all the time, so when you're laying down fire, the gun makes a lovely clacking noise without anything else happening.

You can't lie on the ground properly because of the size of the mag.

The sling doesn't work properly. It decides itself when it wants to release the gun.

So have a good think about it if you really wanna buy this weapon.

Few points in response:

Slings on all clones are junk, not a major point.

Batteries with most clones(bar JG) are sh1te. Get a firefox 9.6V.

Safety, unlucky.

Lie on the ground? Its not a field rifle is a .45 CQB gun.

Feeding, its called silicone oil, get some.

Lethal.

I have one, it was rapidly adopted by my No.1 son. Its a cracker, midcap mags are hard to come by, and the first thing I did was change the Batt.(Firefox from Eirsoft) Unique little piece with a decent ROF. So far hes had no major issues with it....

+1 on the above post, you need to work with this baby, the hop-up, now theres a wee challenge for me. :P

I have one of these, and I love it like a faithful pet. The battery is pretty crappy, it's true, but other than that it's been more than worth what I paid for it, and it's never let me down.

I'm going to try a little more oil but i'm sceptical, i'll report back...

Dread-Lock

I love my UMP.
I could blab on about what you have said, but I would just be repeating Lethal.

Oh and airsoft guns are not weapons, please do not label them so.

* Do not use terms such as Airgun, Pellet gun or anything which refers to a firearm or weapon. They are not the same thing. Repeat offense will result in a temporary ban. Continued use may result in longer bans or outright permanent bans.

Honestly, I've used "better" guns and far more expensive pieces, but - maybe just because it was one of my first ones - I always come back to my careworn old UMP. It's got the perfect grip for my stumpy little arms, its ROF suits me down to the ground and it's as accurate as I've ever needed it to be.

My only gripe - and it's not the piece's fault - is how annoying it is to find anything that'll accomodate a spare mag.

You can get UMP/P90 pouches that attach onto either a Molle vest or a belt.

Yup, it's just not as easy to cram in a trouser pocket or standard pouch.

Plus, if you fall arseways at any point during a skirmish - not that I would, what with my Ninja-like reflexes - I guarantee you that you'll end up with 3/4's of that damn mag slotted neatly between your ribcage.

I still love it.

I know you're particularly fond of this AEG, but be a little nicer to the new posters, yes?

Sorry, my UMP is like Richies Masada

Apologies if I came off strong OP.

Oh, and whats funny is I find new mags feed too well and manage to double load the chamber, others have had that too...do you perhaps leave your mags wound? That would explain bad feeding.
