G&P M249 SAW Airsoft AEG Rifle (Model: Ver2 / Marine / Add Battery + Charger)

"great gun i got this to make a little memorial for my deployment and the ones we lost i was a saw gunner and they had the short barrel m4 stock i had so it fit perfectly pretty accurate to the real thing little lighter but not a bad thing wish the barrel latch worked but i can see why not feels great to have my old friend back thanks evike

"Love this gun, got the MK46 version. Great for suppressing people. Try not to get hit often or you will be lugging 15 lbs of airsoft gun to and from your spawn point. You will use up A LOT of bb's if you're suppressing people.

"This is a good piece of equipment to have in your inventory. First off, it actually feels like every part of the gun is sturdy ( even the iron sights are sturdier than a Matrix gearbox). I chronoed this thing and I got around same as everyone at 367 FPS with .20 EMG grade BBS. One problem that is not with the gun but may be with yourself is it is very heavy. But that's not even a bad problem because its not meant to be a more Mobile gun such as an AK or m4. The grip doesn't even feel like plastic yet it is made out of it. Feels more like durable polymer. The mag is sometimes a pain to get out and attach wires to, but you will get over that soon as it doesn't become a huge problem. Overall great gun and defiantly will consider upgrading as most base gearboxes in guns are not the best. this gun is worth $450 but if you sure lucky you can get It for $350 like it did with evikes coupons

"This LMG is amazing! I got the para version which has a great consistent rof and and good range. I run a matrix 5000mah 9.6 battery in it in the box mag, and everyone at my field does not like me. It does have some good heft to it, and, after doing a side by side review of this and the A&K M249, the G&P was definitely better. It is pricy, but now it's a huge benefit to our squad.

"This gun is PERFECT!

PROS:
-fast and accurate at 120ft! can't tell you the exact FPS but it's faster than all of my other guns (except my 550fps Taurus.)
-realistic freakin' EVERYTHING
-the dummy belt adds the perfect touch
-very sturdy!
-takes matrix 9.6v 4000mAh large type.
-intimidating
-sexy

CONS:
-the box mag is a bit of a hassle but absolutely nothing serious.

everyone says that you can't decompress the spring. They aren't inventive enough to know that if you just open up the top and watch the spring after a few light trigger pulls you can make sure it's decompressed. I blew over 3000 rounds on it. man, this thing spits bbs like no other gun! Buy this! not the A&K version! Spend the extra buck and get the extra bang! See you on the field!

"Great gun. Purchased for our Team Arsenal use. The large capacity drum eliminates the need for spare drums. Just carry a bag of bb's with you, and reload on the fly. Excellent support AEG.

"Amazing gun, heavy and durable. Shot 400 to 405 out the box. Only problem i had was that the package deal came with the wrong battery so i had to shop around to make accommodations. They gave me a battery that hooked straight to the gun instead of the mag. Overall im pleased though.

"Great gun straight out of the box other than it looked like the guys at evike used it for a couple games ( bb indents on the plastic on the side near the rear) I don't really mind as it is going to get hit anyways. Would recommend as long as you don't care about the weight. I like the weight of it as it does not feel cheap at all. Be careful of the trigger when disassembling the gear box as mine exploded out of the gun and needed to be held down when putting it back together

"Love this gun works great and fires fast the level of detail is excellent

"Great AEG saw right out of the box, unfortunately chronoed at 415-430 without any modifications at all. I'm going to chrono again after it gets more use to see if it comes down some. Great accuracy for a stock saw, mag is pretty good as well.

"Excellent build, very solid. But also heavy. Good ROF and hop up keeps bbs on the straight. Tried lipos 7.4 and 11.1 for short term test and they get the wiring hot, so I will stay with the recommended 8.4volt 3800mah flat battery. The only drawback is no trades from G&P or FN, not even a serial number. Ammo box does have nice detailed Mil-spec script. The internals of the ammo box seem fragile, but time will tell. Also, so called instruction manual is nothing but a bare parts lists normal more, not even a G&P brand stamp anywhere on it. For $326. it seem's a good buy, the jury's out of the durability of the V2 gearbox. But overall a quality copy of a true lifetaker.

"This is a very solid gone have not used it in the field yet so unsure of the performance of it but I give it five stars out of the hole. I do recommend a strap it isn't as long as everybody makes it out the scene I am used to using longer guns in the field and 14's and M-16 a trees so the only thing is this is a wider box mag on it and it's just h I do recommend a strap it isn't as long as everybody makes it out the scene I am used to using longer guns in the field and m-14's and M-16. Again I say it is a heavy gone but it's the type of heavy which gets heavy from prolonged: holding. I am 6 foot so for me the length is not a problem. It is definitely a goog buy

"This gun isn't a bad gun. My friend bought me one for Christmas a few months ago, and from what I can tell, it's really not bad at all.

Pros
Amazing rps
Great for, not too hard, not too soft.
Full metal which might be a con for beginners or wimps.
Chuck Norris approved.

Cons
Bro. It's chuck Norris approved. What part of that do you not understand.

"Very happy with it. Got it on Wednesday and ran with it all day Saturday. FPS was between 330 and 340 (but I was shooting .25gs). ROF was between 17 and 22 RPS. The best thing was that I put about 4,000 rounds through it and did not have a single feed jam -- not one. Ran the second re-fill with .28gs and that gave a little added distance (I did not re-chrono). I will probably run with .28gs in the future because of the added range. I ran the 8.4 v 5000 mAh Matrix high output battery and shot all day with it.
The cons are that it did not have a functioning safety. Not sure if this is the result of using the ver 2 gearbox -- but I suspect that it is. (I just leave a barrel sleeve on mine if the box magazine is in.) The motor does get a little hot when you use sustained fire -- not sure how to evaluate this yet -- but it did not ever impact play or rise to the level of genuine concern. Finally, this beast is heavy -- but I found it was still manageable (even without a sling). That said, I will be picking up a sling.

"I've been fortunate enough to use a G&P for 2 milsims before. and it is the best LMG ive ever used. These guys always do top notch quality, but the MK46/ 249 series is something else. One thing about them though is they CANNOT use Stanags. that is to say m16 magazines. However, it doesnt need to. G&Ps direct feed system is extremely reliable. 5/5

Pro:
well built.
feels like a real m249/mk46
direct feed very reliable

Con:
pricey (you get what you pay for)
cannot take m4 mags (doesnt need to!)
