"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.
