GaryKeim Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I fired my Erb tube gun for the first time the past weekend. In FA I preferred (1) Colt Thompson, (2) MP-40, (3) M16A1. In SA, (1) M16A1, (2) Thompson, (3) MP-40 (was able to get single rounds off). When I first pulled the trigger on the MP-40 I could barely tell it was actually firing! For the 28 Navy I used the new Taiwan L-Drum... worked perfectly although it was a bit fiddly installing; bolt back, mag release depressed. I figured it out. Take aways: Erb tube gun is a really good shooter; a nearly century-old piece of American history won the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZelenka Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I have a good number of SMGs and automatic rifles. If I take any of them to the range, I always throw an MP40 into the back of the vehicle. It is my favorite sub-gun to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) With the correct buffer, spring and compensator i guarantee your m16 will move to #2 on your FA list Factory setup the m16 is Blah. With the right aftermarket parts and your m16 will have little to no muzzle rise Mp40? Its my #2. My stg 76 Brp is #1. Mp40 is a great gun.

GaryKeim Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Yes, it was the muzzle rise on the M16 that put it last for FA. Nothing like the BAR or HK G3 but still significant. But, as I said, tops for SA and I was really impressed with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Tubbs flat spring- smooth it out308 hydrolytic buffer - this will slow it down 100-150rpmSeekins compensator - nearly eliminate muzzle riseGeissele trigger- turn it into a target gunIve always felt compensators were snake oil. I was shocked how good the Seekins works. I can easily dump 30 rounds and hold a target w control at 15-20 yards does your m16 shoot like mine? notice the speed and the muzzle rise(none) Edited December 4, 2019 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Henley Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Nice video HuggyTree. My choices would be: 1. C&R Bridgeport Thompson Model 1928AC (it's heavier and smooth as silk). 2. C&R WWII STEN (light and controllable and a blast to shoot). 3. C&R Beretta 38/42 (about the same as my MP40 BNZ 41 but I give it the edge because it's selective fire (two triggers) and also has the advantage of a fixed wooden stock (although my MP40 stock is very solid) and 40 round magazines. 4. C&R MP40 BNZ 41. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I would go with my Beretta 38/42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Reputation wise, the top two SMGs are probably the Beretta 38/42, and the Swedish K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
