Airsoft WWI question

Postby Hutch » Wed Apr 13, 2011 7:20 am

It's not really needed and sorry for the BS post and everything, but Is there an airsoft replica of the maxim machine gun or the m1919? I just wanted to know if they were out there.

VIVA makes an airsoft M1919, but in WWI we used M1917's and no airsoft company makes the 1917.

No, ww1 was not fought with airsoft guns.

You can make the M1919 MG work for WWI if you make a Water Cooling Jacket for it , by doing this you will convert the M1919 into it's predecessor , the M1917 , which was used in WWI , WWII and into Korea.

And if you want a Light Machine Gun , you could always make a custom Lewis Automatic Machine Gun , but only if you want to do a British or Commonwealth impression.

I read that. I'm trying to educate him that 1919s weren't used in WWI.

Get over it.


Exactly they are called 1919s for a reason people.
