MG 42 HRISTO CUSTOM airsoft strojnica

MG 42 Hristo custom

With ten years of upgrading experience, we have worked on this gun to make it as good as possible. As GMG-42 is the pinnacle of what G&G has to offer, so is MG 42 Hristo custom the pinnacle of what we can offer. This just begged to be done – we cosinder this gun unique in the world.

GMG-42 is already a class of its own. Replica of a famous gun, with no compromise in build quality, materials and workmanship, but also with top performance and surpassing every other gun in the field.

Same stamped steel as the original MG 42, with same production processes, there have been only few models like this in airsoft history. Of course, this no compromise approach resulted in a high price, but we are sure it will outlast even the most rough handling and wildest of playstyles – this beast will just keep on working no matter what you do with it.

What a stock GMG-42 gets you ?

Superb and toughest of build, steel and wood, no aluminum, monkey metal or such lesser materials.

Superb and authentic grey phosphated finish, just like the original.

Cleverly made and practically indestructable CNCD aluminum gearbox – which can be swapped in a matter of seconds, without tools and in the field. Piston breaks ? Motor burns ? Tappet plate snaps ? No problem, carry a spare gearbox and just swap it and continue firing.

Just like the original, barrels can be swapped in mere seconds, also without tools and in the field. Carry a spare, have it changed and keep firing in case of your hop goes down or BB jams (very unlikely) etc.

Additional barrels and gearboxes will be available this summer.

What we have improved externally ?

– rear and front sight have been changed to original ones of Zastava M-53; these sights are tougher, more accurate and better looking; we have zeroed them perfectly

– wooden stock has been replaced with a perfect replica – made of hardwood and linseed oil treated, with more authentic shape; there is a historical marking on it as well

– pistol grip inserts are original ! Bakelite, made in Germany during World war two !

– exterior has been weathered to provide an authentic used gun look; in fact, this gun looks better the more you use it

– special dry pastel mix of redbrown has been added to metal finish, making  it look as start of rust process, during those intense prolonged combat periods on Eastern front

Even the smell of this gun has been taken care of. Linseed oil treated wood gives it a characteristic scent, while metal parts have been treated with Solvent S and ASOL U oils, giving it that familiar old military warehouse scent (or smell :)).

Make no mistake – this gun is as tough as nails. It will give you sore muscles, scratches and bumps. While most other guns require a small file and superglue to work on, with this gun you need a big hammer and a professional drill/lathe equipment. 12kg of steel just can’t be destroyed :).

Internally we have improved:

– Extreme Fire SW-S mosfet with thermal self resetting fuse

– SHS double o-ring metal nozzle for perfect airseal

– Lonex red piston, with corrected angle of engagement

– Siegetek V2/3 20.8:1 gearset – this is simply the best there is

– ASG Ultimate 35000 motor which, with spring and gearset provided, gives the historical 1200 rounds per minute

– PDI 6.08/469mm barrel, lapped with Hunterseeker armory barrel lapping kit and 3000 passes; it took several hourse and a professional metal work to adapt this barrel to the GMG-42 quick barrel change system, something nobody else has managed to do and what we are especially proud of

– Hunterseeker Armory R-hop, optimized for 0.30 – 0.33g BB weight

This support gun is equipped with two drum magazines, each of 1700 BB capacity. We have never seen a better and more reliable drum magazine. With over fifteen thousand BBs fired, we never had a single jam. Internally, drum magazine is equipped with sophisticated electronics, which we have further tuned for maximum reliability.

A 11.1V/1200 mAh battery will last you a 2000-3000 shots, while a 7.4V/430mAh drum magazine battery will last of more than 5000 shots each. Charger for both batteries is included.

Package includes:

2 x Turnigy 11.1V/1200mAh batteries with Dean connector

2 x G&G 7.4/430mAh drum magazine battery

user manual

G&G 50 rounds bullet belt of 7.9x57mm

original inert 90 round bullet belt of 7.9x57mm

2 x 1700 BB drum magazines

battery charger for both main and drum magazine batteries

We have tested this gun in the field. Not just at the firing range, but in airsoft skirmish lasting several hours. 15.000 shots have been fired without a single jam or malfunction. The gun has been checked, cleaned and relubed.

Performance:

– energy of 1.93 J (355 fps with 0.33g, equivalent to 456fps with 0.20g BB)

– effective range of 80m straight and 90-95m with elevation of 2-2.5m

– ROF of 1200 rounds per minute

This gun is unique and it will stay unique. We have built it out of enthusiasm and desire to show how good it can be made. There is no way we will repeat all this, with so many hours of work and components installed. We challenge everyone to make a tougher and better performing support weapon than this one !
