This is a warning to the general airsoft public, but to those of you who know about being a machine gunner and still do it, my hat is off to you
I've held the real thing, and if this is anywhere near the actual weight of it I would steer clear of this. Think about it. It weights considerably more then the 249 series and has just about the same performance as an m4. Sure there is the whole support weapons are given more benefits thing, but I have been there and done it with a saw. Trust me when I say this, the machine gunner position in airsoft is over rated, and even thou it would be cool to have it is just about as useful as having a M82 for a marksman role. It is very difficult to shoulder this weapon from a standing position due to the massive weight of the barrel alone, with the solid metal bipod and frame included into that weight you start to understand how massive the M240 is.
Then again it could be this is all made of some cheap aluminum and then all of my arguments would be invalid. my 2 cents
