Actually the first Simonovs (aka SKS-45) were used during the latter stages of the Siege of Berlin by the Red Army. However, it was never really used in large numbers, as the Red Army mostly used PPsH-41s during the street fighting. So the SKS did see 'some' action in WW2, but not much. I just hope that kids don't get ALL their gun knowledge from Airsofts.

Yeah I recall the fielding date for SKS rifles was 1945, I just didn't remember whether or not it was pre or post war. Thanks for that bit of info.

My airsoft mini UZI clearly holds 39 rounds.
This is obviously the correct number on the real world model.
It also holds one CO2 powerlet. So I must assume there was one on the real mini UZI.

You're right about the cheap guns, some of the spendy models have trademarks. Like the CYMA company selling a badly designed Glock 36 under the name "Combat Delta."

I saw a C-96 labeled as a Luger, an M16A2 called a M16A1and a Vector CP1 sold as "the James Bond pistol", all on one airgun site

Well the Luger and the P38, and C-96 were apparently mixed up a lot. When people think of a German WWII handgun, they think of one of these 3 apparently but mix up the names

If you're gonna buy airsoft stuff, best to keep it reputable.
Like ShortyUSA or AirsoftAtlanta. There are websites that look slicker, or have a better selection, but those two are the safest in my experience.
