The Umarex Legends M3 Grease Gun delivers authentic WWII styling with modern CO2-powered performance for collectors and plinkers. This .177 caliber BB air rifle captures the distinctive look and feel of the iconic M3 submachine gun while providing reliable semi-automatic action.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic BB guns, the Legends M3 features die-cast metal construction with realistic weight distribution and authentic military markings. The blowback action cycles with each shot, creating genuine recoil simulation that standard spring-powered rifles cannot match. CO2 power delivers consistent velocity across temperature ranges where pump-action models often struggle.
Key Features
- Die-cast metal receiver and barrel with realistic weight and balance
- Semi-automatic blowback action with cycling bolt simulation
- 30-round drop-free BB magazine with spring-loaded follower
- Adjustable hop-up system for improved accuracy and range

Field testing shows consistent 350-400 fps velocities with steel BBs across varied outdoor conditions. The hop-up adjustment allows fine-tuning for target shooting at 10-25 yards, while the realistic trigger pull and sight picture make it effective for historical reenactment training. Weather-resistant finish handles moisture and temperature changes better than painted alternatives.
