I wasn't very impressed with the TH M240.
I've paid excess of $1000 for an LMG before, stripped all the internals, replaced them, and had to tinker with the damn thing after every game to get it to work again. IMO, after spending that much cash on an Airsoft gun, the damn thing should at least stay together. I can deal if the internals bust out after firing 90,000 rounds through it over the course of 3 games - that's fine, I can buy new pistons or gears. But when random shit just falls off the gun during normal use - I'm sorry but you are being bent over and Trigger Happy is having their way with you.
This sounds like a TOP M60 to me. Worthless out of the box. Sure if you buy it and replace all the parts it might be a good skirmish weapon, but then you always have other random things break.
This is a case of "we're the first to come out with it, so we can make it any price we want." I don't know about everybody else, but if I buy a fixer-upper I want it at a fixer-upper price.
