Page 3 - Legends M712 Full-Auto Reviews

I like the authentic design and weight of the gun. Its very heavy and functional. The mechanism is fun and realistic and extremely fast in full auto.

I would like to see umerex use steel instead of pot metals for the construction. And cast the barrel in one piece of metal instead of a seperate piece. And I know its hard with blowback semi/full auto gun but make it more efficient. I get 2 powerful full magazines and 1 week full magazine from one co2 canister in full auto and about 4 full magazines with one co2 in semi auto. Id also like to see a higher capacity magazine, the gun empties it in about 1 second so you only get like 3 seconds of shooting in full auto with one co2.

Good for the price, definitely fun to use. Again its constructed with pot metal so its pretty fragile for being all metal. So keep it in a case when not in use.

I love Everything about it works great lots of fun!!!

I wish the cartridge would last longer emptys out to quick

If your a Colector like me or just want a fun gun this one is a MUST HAVE!!!

Build quality, materials, historical accuracy are all good. Once loaded, performed as advertised.

The BB loading method is terrible, the user guide in this regard is worthless.

BB loading is terrible and messy. The owners manual is no help whatsoever, is 95% legal warnings and useless re how to actually load BBs. Holding down the follower spring exposes a tiny port, I loaded through the top. VERY poor design.

Solid & more fun than a barrel of gd monkeys!

Come up with a more secure method of fastening the barrel to the body of the pistol without taking away from the replica aspects of the gun, of course!

Gas hog as expected, well worth it though! Also purchase an extra clip or 2 from the get-go, you won't regret it!

Biofeedback mechanism (recoil, noise and even "smoke") is great. Very well made and great attention to detail. Impressive BB gun and incredibly fun. I also like the safety features, just a well thought out product.

Somehow loading mags needs to be a little easier. It's certainly not terrible but I'm try-storming ways to make it less tedious

Buy extra mags and lots of CO2! Then just have fun.

it's a fun gun to shoot, full auto is cool

I would put a duel cartridge system in this gun for more power and longer lasting shooting

This is a plinking gun not a lot of power and make sure you get lots of air cartridges cause it blows through them at an astounding rate. After a few clips worth of shooting on full auto you have to use a new one. Had I known how much it was going to use I would not have purchased this item. Again it is fun to shoot but it could be very very expensive!

Great gun, proper weight, good action, would buy again.

Nothing I can think of.

Very hungry for co2. Stock up on extra cartridges. Small price to pay for all the enjoyment. Spare mags would be a good idea too.

Full-auto! How much it actually looks like a M712.

Full 20 shot mag, like the original.

Loves SmartShot. I have jamming problems if the BBs are slightly rusty, but SmartShot doesn't rust.

Looks and feels cool.

Tough to load

Great plonker, very well made. Love the Authentic look in this gun. Heavy air gun. I now have friends getting ready to ask their wife's if they can buy one of their own. :)

Higher magazine capacity or addition magazines.

Plan on ordering lots of quality BBs and CO2 when you order this baby. Also, don't be surprised with the weight of the small box, some Powderburn aren't even this heavyweight

The look and feel

The magazine falls out when shooting the gun.

If you purchase this gun have it thoroughly tested.

EVERYTHING! The looks, the feel, the heft. Cannot believe the realism. I had read Gary's recommendation re the barrel set-screw. But I had to try shooting the gun first; perhaps mine would be different. Wrong. So I applied Loctite to the screw, as well as to the slip-fit area on the barrel. Works fine. Have shot hundreds of BB's and everything's great.

The rear sight. Make the notch a little deeper. I intend to file mine down a little.

I bought three extra clips. I don't mind payin' for good quality. Have had no problems with them. And I don't mind reloading often. The pleasure I get from shooting full auto is well worth the time it takes to reload. Get one - you'll love it! I hung a few plastic milk jugs on a tree branch, with my pond in the background. Shooting from the hip, I love to "sweep" back and forth at the jugs. I can see the BB's hitting the water, which lets me know how far off target I am.

OK, I am going to start off by saying I have always loved the Broomhandle. I guess that's why when I was old enough I bought one. They are just do damn cool. Finding 7.62 Mauser ammo is not the easiest thing and besides I just don't want to harm my Broomhandle. It's for looking at not for shooting. Josey Wales humor. Anyway, love this BB gun. I got this one because of the full auto selector. But for the Mag it looks and feels just like my WW1 Broomhandle. The action is great. Almost feels like firing a real Broomhandle which is awesome. Yes on full auto you will be lucky to get 2 mags full before the cartridge is empty. If my smile was any greater when I emptied that first mag I would have hurt myself. I have to say this thing will never see semi mode in my hands. CO2 HOG! You want to play you got to pay. Love it. Not the most accurate BB gun but man oh man it's fun. I show it to all my hunting friends and they only see fun, not BB gun. I guess will only buying the large boxes of CO2.

I can't think of a thing and this is coming from a WW1 Broomhandle owner. As I said, but for the mag, it looks and feels like the real thing. Umarex did a fantastic job on this. Looking at their MP40 now. I can not think about that MP40 without smiling knowing how much fun this Broomhandle is.

Just be safe. Yes, it's a BB gun but it's still a gun. Safety first always, and I don't know who you can not have fun this this thing. It's $100 bucks but I say save if you have to. The pay out is well worth it. Extra mags are kind of high. Not to easy to load. This set up is all about the mag. The mag is a critical part of the gun, not just a place to hold BB's so I can understand some of the pricing of the mag. Take care of that mag.

I bought this for fun. you can eaither single 18 shots or put it on auto and go throught a whole 18 shots in about 2 seconds. based on the orginal it nearestt sight setting is 1500 yards. for a BB gun like thats going o work?

I would like to change the sight but I don't becuase that would ruin its Legends replica construcion. It goes through CO2 fast. and loading the BB mag can be taxing

completly no resoen to own one yet it is fun and I enjoy shooting up stuff with mine

The weight was close to a real gun, and my gun shot pretty close to the center of my target right out of the box

the way the magazine loads. It takes way to long to load the mag as compared to other guns I have. It should have a larger hole to load the bb's in so you can use a spout to pour them in with.

When you use the automatic fire be prepared to start loading after about 5 seconds. So a additional mag or two should be considered

I really like old guns, but I know that I can't afford the real things. So this is great. I have a broom handle that I could not afford and it's the same weight and everything. This gun works good and I can shoot it in my backyard. I have shown it around to other gun enthusiasts and gave them your web site. They are surprised then they see the number of gun you have to offer.

Authenticity , attention to detail workmanship and functionality

Larger magazine

Limit of 2,5 magazines per CO2 cartridge !!

Fun bb gun! Easy to use overall, we have an 11 year old boy who digs it! He is into war guns so this is perfect! Set up your cans and blast away! Only get about a trigger or two pull on full auto but we love shooting it on either full or semi! We load bbq'd by hand. Be sure to load it full but not over full!

Nothing

Next step up is the MP40!

Realistic function and feel

Larger rear sight

Uses co2 very fast

The weight and feel are awesome - a must have for collectors!

None - don't change a thing!

YOU NEED TO GET THIS!
