"This gun is great because I won it and a 45acp in the BOA but...
First off it jammed up the first fight I was in which was frustrating but Evike did a great job with the warranty and I received a new one within a month. That gun worked great so I added the mk2 stock for a big battery and a barrel extension so I wouldn’t shoot the bipod when it is up. Then the bipod broke. Snapped right off during a fight when I was laying support for my squad. Oh well I guess I’ll get the metal one. Then the motor burnt out. Then I had to modify it to fix the problem with the box mags not fitting. So basically it’s cheap plastic and threatens to snap right in half if I’m not careful with it.
Pros:
Light (almost all plastic)
Shoots pretty straight for a stock gun.
Scares people if you add dummy rounds.
Cons:
Cheap plastic receivers and bipod.
Crummy motor.
Non standard mag well making most m4 mags not compatible without modifications.
Loose safety slides to fire without warning.

"Just got the gun, not impressed at all with the External and internal quality’s of the gun. I paid 350$ for the Performance plus and for that price you could have gotten a full metal M4 with decked out internals that’d eat this this up all day.

"this gun is ok it doesn't shoot to far, fire rate is kinda low, and it shoots slower than you expect it to be. i dont recommend this gun you will regret buying it.

"Fragile and cheaply put together-
This gun is the king of jamming and the box mag is not well put together. I have been through two box mags, and both have broke just as I started playing with them. Haven’t even gotten a chance to use the gun in a real airsoft war yet because it keeps breaking right as I’m about to use it. Whether the wiring in the mag comes undone or the gun jams, it rarely works. If you accidentally bump against the tree or wall, the whole entire mag will fall apart, and if you drop it… forget it throw out the whole gun cause it will fall apart like legos. i’m begging you ignore the other good reviews and save your money, go look for something with quality because you won’t find that here.

"Very disappointed.
I'm new to airsoft and wanted to get a capable gun but not go overboard out of the gate. I'm a sucker for LMGs so I decided to try the Cybergun M249 Para Featherweight as it fit my budget. I also bought the recommended upgraded barrel, bucking, batteries and aftermarket box mag.
Right out of the gate it had feeding issues. I'm not able to shoot at home so it was difficult to trouble shoot and my field is an hour away. I contacted evike about my feeding issues and they offered that the air seal might be the culprit. I installed my new barrel and bucking hoping the new bucking would fix the air seal issues. Unfortunately it did absolutely nothing to fix feeding issues. The AR mag it came with and the "nutsack" box mag I purchased feed just fine on their own but the gun only shoots 1 out of 5 shots if I'm lucky. It usually just dry fires.
I made the mistake of taking off the orange flash hider and upgrading the barrel and bucking in my excitement to make this gun my own and also trying to trouble shoot the problems myself and have voided the warranty. I should have just sent it back right away when it didn't work out of the box.
I don't know if i just got a lemon or what but I'm 350$+ into this gun with several nights of troubleshooting and I have a worthless paperweight that I've never been able to use.
Just a brutal first experience getting into this sport/game.
My advice is save your money to purchase a better full metal gun with a history of functioning well before you buy this cheap plastic POS and get burned like me.
