"This gun is a beast! When I unboxed this gun, I was super excited. I bought a MK46 5 position retractable stock which works great with this. I had problems trying to get to the battery, called evike custromer service and they said to pull out than upward towards the bipod. I did that but I noticed there were 4 screws in the handle. It took me three hours to figure that all out. Overall a great gun,

PROS:
Great ROF
Works great with the retractable stock
Heavy
Tons more of awesome things but I cant name them all

CONS:
Hard to get battery in
Para stock hurts my neck(maybe not for anyone else)
Battery comes uncharged
Heavy(could be either if your weak)

"Used it in a couple games. Battery location is a pain (had to use a blade screwdriver and a hammer to loosen it), box mag get in the way every now and then, and if you use the included foregrip you can fold the bipod. Working on modifying the bipod so it can fold to the side but that's a personal preference. Overall it's really a great gun, not only is it rarely seen on airsoft fields but everyone wants to hold it. Dont suggest buying it if you're a small guy or gal. I may be 5'9" and only a 115 pds but I got determination on my side.
Pros-
Weight (can be con too)
Rails
included foregrip
bipod
takes m4 mags (pretty much all)

Cons-
Weight
Rails are sharp so suggest getting rail covers
bipod not folding if foregrip is attached
feeding tray cover (have to pull back bot and slam down at same time)
stock is wobbly (stock not buffer tube)
Stock doesn't lock into all positions no matter how hard I try

"5 stars, the date is 6/12/2013, and I've had this gun since 1/6/2011, this is a fantastic gun, buy it, you will not regret it. the only problems i have had with the internals were that after about 50,000 rounds through it, the spring broke and the trigger plate was bent, but both were easy fixes, and other than that, there have been lots of cosmetic issues with the gun (It's battle worn), but all in all, it was completely worth every penny.

"The A&K M249 SAW is one of the best airsoft LMG's out in the market, i personally own one and i absolutely LOVE IT!
I have the full stock version, but i would reccomend the para version if you are a smaller guy.
Its a bit on the heavier side when the box mag is completely full, so a sling is HIGHLY reccomended.
There is only 1 part that i would reccomend replacing and that is the trigger switch, it tends to get stuck and you will have to unplug your battery to get it to stop shooting. ($10)
Pros.
The box mag isa bit wobbly and the "sound control" option wont keep up to your rate of fire once you run a 9.6 so a pressure switch is reccomended

Price
solid metal construction (stock is very sturdy for how long it is)
Great performance (~14 RPS with 8.4)
everything else!

Cons.
Trigger tends to get stuck
by Derrick C. on 05/26/2013
"I love this gun.

Pros: beautiful intimidating gun, gets a lot of compliments.
Hit just about everything, point and shoot.
No jamming problems
Cons: Bipod broke off in first game ( It looks like pot metal)
Heavy which is to be accepted
Hop up isn't all that great might want to replace it.

Even with the cons this gun is amazing and I highly recommend it.

"This gun is A BEAST! i've used it in a few games and it shot about 360-365 out of the box. The trigger switch on the gun was a little extended and jams in the gears, so you can take the grip off and move the switch a bit and it will work again. when this happened i was so scared and thought i broke it. The trigger does stick and continue firing if you hold the trigger down too much. to fix this, just keep pulling the trigger. Overall, one of the best guns i got. I'm planning to put a tightbore on it and that will make it deadly. Also my hop up was jammed and i couldnt adjust it without taking the whole barrel out, and my bipod broke off. With a little love and care, this gun will treat you right.

Pros:
Heavy
Shoots hard and fast
Looks awesome
Gets me A LOT of compliments

Cons:
Bides thebipod breaking off, None.

"Got this gun and this is my first time of using it. It was amazing! i highly recommend it big time! I choose to be the support gunner on my team and i have wanted this gun for a long time but had no use for it untill i joined a team. Who ever is looking for a cheap and good gun, this would be it!

Pros:
Great FPS
Good Range
Real Feel
Pretty much full metal which is awesome!
To many Pros to think of. ha. So get it for sure!

Cons:
If you are planning to run with this gun, get a sling for it for sure. You will need it. I walked/runned up a steep hill and my arms were so tired from it. So make sure that you get the sling. Other then that, no other cons! but if you dont consider not using a sling then there are no cons to this gun.


Overall i give this a 10/10

"This has been a great weapon so far!!!! I haven't had ANY problems with it yet.It is a beast which tears up anything and is great in windows and jeeps or any other mount. The weight isn't very bad and even smaller people like myself can carry it comfortably. I think it is a great gun that I higly reccomend and it makes the enemies pee their pants when behind the barrel.If you're a support gunner , THIS IS YOUR GUN!!!


PROS: Nice fps
Nice range
Great capacity
Nice weight
Huge intimidation factor
comes with a battery but you will need more batteries
GREAT GUN FOR TEAMS!!!!!!
Nice rof about 16 rps
Fully adjustable bipod



CONS: NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OVERALL FANSTASTIC GUN!!!!!!!!!! BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Just got it along with my box of awesomeness and about $300 in upgrade parts for this gun. havent upgraded anything yet but stock its pretty good. mine came with a broken box mag, but im not gonna deduct a star for that because it doesnt affect the gun. i have an RMA for the box mag, and using m4 mags in the meantime. ROF is decent, range is decent. worth getting over the echo1 saw. just buy this and upgrade yourself. nice weight to it too. about 15.4lbs unloaded. its a support weapon and meant to be heavy, so i never understood why people listed the weight of this weapon as a con. all in all its a great gun, recommended if you like the support gunner role. still waiting to skirmish it, hoping it will outperform my AR's.
by Austin H. on 08/02/2012
"this weapon is great good feel and all excessive fire rate close to 900 rp/m. only problem the pistol grip was loose so i took it off and the nut and bolt were stripped so put some duck tape and skaned it akk back together hasent moved since

"got this gun a month ago and ive had alot of time to use it

pros:
-lighter then most full metal machine guns
-Has parts from a m249, could be a con but makes it more custom
-comes with a large mag
-full metal and super durable
-shots fast and hard
-TONS of railing
-accurate and with a long range
- instead of taking the mag off to reload u can just take the side off and dump bb's in for fast reloading
- super easy to take apart and upgrade
- grip that comes with it is excellent
- mag has a lock to keep it in place and feeds super well
-very durable parts
- parts are easy to replace
cons
-Hop-up is terrible but can be fixed with a new one
-short type motor, medium barrel and hop-up can limit range
-mag sometimes gets in the way
-bipod that comes with it is useful but hard to get off and hard to deploy
-need a allen head set for screws
-rails have a TON of wobble but easy to fix
-custom size barrel make it hard to upgrade the barrel but just get a barrel extension
-no instructions, took me 2 days just to figure out where the battery goes and also comes with no battery

this gun is very good for the money you pay and as a little tip to get to the hop-up u have to pull the top up like a real gun which is cool as hell but dont hit it down, i did and its jamed shut so i have to pry it open, my advice to u GET THIS GUN
by Kurtis B. on 07/24/2012
"got this gun a few weeks ago and used it in a Colorado milsim event. this gun has worked like a charm since i have gotten it, however the motor began to get loose and shake so much that it would cause the thing to fire without pulling the trigger.
PROS:
full metal
metal gearbox
sounds beautiful
works like a majestic unicorn prancing in the forest
big time fear factor
CONS:
kinda heavy
box mag does not always feed
screws tend to come loose at times
(very few screws if any come loose)
by Benjamin S. on 06/05/2012
"Well I just got this gun so I have no gameplay experience with it but my first impressions are great, i'll keep it simple

Pros:
looks great
feels solid
just generally BA

Cons:
well at first glance the battery looks like a pain to get in and out since you have to remove the outer barrel but after I did it once or twice I got the hang of it and its actually easier to change than my magpul classic army m4 because the compartment is a decent size on the SAW.

Overall first 24 hour impression: two thumbs up

"I bought this about 4 years ago so here's a good review for this who want to know its durability.
When I got it it came with its own gun case, I don't think it does anymore though, but same model and specs and brand. It's served very well with an occasional tune up. When it first came in I was a little worried cause in a few very small unnoticeable places there were tiny corners that had a lil rust in them. But over the years it hasn't grown or got worse so no worries there, it hasn't gotten loose anywhere, stayed stable and decent hopup and it's internals have lasted this long, except did need a new main spring cause it got weak Over time. I lost my bipod cause I took it off. They sell them here for 100$ :/ a little over priced for what t is and made of. The bipod rattles when running but thats to be expected.

I do recommend you get a smart charger for it, and clean Out the gear box and put better grease in it. It's stock piston and head could be reinforced better but the stock have lasted me this long so to each his own on that part lol. The magazine has only needed one small fix in 4 years cause one wire wasn't sodered well enough. The mag also has a port in the bottom they don't tell you about, where u can plug in your own button module via headphone jack style plug. For those who'd rather auto wind it by button rather than rely on its auto sound sensing winding.

Over all for the durability and rare problems I've had with it I give it a 5/5 cause 5 years later it's still shooting true. Give it a little TLC and it will last u a loong time.
