A&K M60 Airsoft AEG Machine Gun (Model: Mk43 / M60E4)

"Excellent support weapon.
the gun is fully constructed of metal, and plastic where it should be on the real steel.
although it did not come with trademarks, there are many other realistic features suck as the quick barrel release design, and the functional bolt with no spring(like the real M60) the range is great on this weapon, the BB can travel over 300 feet.

PROS:
metal
accurate
range
BB capacity (4000 rnds)
balanced weight
bipod
quick spring release design gearbox
Intimmidation
heavy (18 ibs loaded)
adjustable rate of fire
comes with a 9.6v battery(small type)
comes with a metal flash hider in the box (plastic one on the gun pre installed)

CONS:
no trademarks
plastic flash hider is hard to get off

"This gun is very nice if you need a support gunner, it is has a high ROF and is very accurate/consistent out of the box. This gun, with a full box mag is not light and your going to need some muscle to lug this thing around all day. Mine came with a 9.6V 1200 Mah battery for some reason (hey, I'm not complaining, free battery!!), no override switch, a standard wall charger, and of course the auto-wind box mag.

This thing is awesome, It looks and feels real, its heavy (going to want to get a sling for this beast), I haven't chornoed it yet but I'm guessing it is shooting around 370 with .2's. I bought a 9.6V 5000 Mah battery with mine and it just barely fits in the box mag ( large batteries help keep the mag sturdy). Mine came with some crappy plastic M4 flash hider but I quickly replaced it with the provided one (looks like the one in the picture but is completely orange)

Pros:
Only plastic on this gun are the grips
Accurate
Decent FPS
High ROF/ ability to change ROF
Auto-winding box mag
Realistic
Awesome

Cons:
Heavy
Box mag is kind of a pain to get on
Battery sometimes bumps the wind-control switch on the Mag into the off or constant feed position ( I put electrical tape over it)
Front grip and Bipod are a lil bit wobbly (but np)

P.S. this thing is totally worth getting and will scare the **** out of people when they see this coming!

"perfect replica of the iconic m60 machine gun and the ultimate support weapon. better than my A&K m249 para at laying suppressing fire and making my enemy duck down and hug dirt.

Pros:
great support weapon
great for vietnam reenacting
cheaper than inokatsu, escort, or top
reliable magazine auto wind
adjustable rate of fie

Cons:
heavy
drains batteries
long

Conclusion:
i would recommend this gun to anyone who wants a good support weapon and is willing to lug it around

"First off, I love this gun its awesome. Great firepower for a little guy like me. Full metal, adjustable ROF, box mag(can be annoying when firing right handed, unless it is mounted).

"For starters, for the person below, this rifle if supposed to be the same weight as a real M60, and it is an M60, not an M249, for future reference.

First off, obviously if you cant run around carrying a 17 pound rifle, don't buy this. I'm a pretty big guy, so I have no problem with that, infact, I carry another rifle and two sidearms as well.

First, the rifle feels amazing in your hands. Its very solid, feels like a real rifle, and the metal is good quality.

The box mag is pesky to mount the first few times, but once you get used to it, its not to bad.

The RoF is pretty great, and it puts alot of rounds down range. The Hop up is kind of difficult to adjust.

Mine chronos at about 390 to 410 fps every time.

Cosmetic features:

The metal looks great, it has the calibur of the real rifle and things like that written on the side. the stock is rather comfortable, and the forgrip makes it much easier to wield. The sights are alright, my front sight was to the right a bit. The bolt goes back nicely, and looks awesome. Also, a great feature is that if you have a chain of 7.62 dummy rounds, or real ones for that matter, you can feed them into the rifle to cover your battery wires. Also, the amount of bbs you can fire is quite insane and keeps heads down.

Overall this is an excellent gun and it is very worth getting.

The simple look on someones face as you come around this corner is priceless

"First off great gun the M60E1 is truly an iconic LMG. This gun fires slow and fast depending on what you have the mosfet chip turned to, if you put a 9.6 in it will fire faster though. This gun fires around 350-360 give or take right around the same as my FN SCAR HEAVY. It is made of full metal except the heavy duty nylon bottom hand guard below the fully metal heat cover also the stock is a heavy duty nylon which will not break on you. The flashider it comes with looks similar to the G&G version of it and it is full metal. The bipod is copied exactly just like the real steal version and looks breathtaking due to it only being $400 and being from A&K which is suprising after the M60E3 model. IT IS NOT HEAVY IT ONLY 16 POUNDS the real steal version is 40 POUNDS and the SEALS didnt complain. The box mag does not work well and what I mean by that is the awkward design of it hanging to the left but the box mag feeds flawlessly carrying around 2500 rounds Overall I recommend this gun to any one who likes big heavy guns if not stick to the FN M249.

PROS:
Iconic LMG for $400 not $40,000 like the real steal thank god for airsoft
Full metal and very durable
very balanced FPS not like your going to use it for CQB though it is possible
Mosfet is amazing I keep it on a slower rate of fire to preserve munitions
and so on as I listed above.....

CONS:
Box mag drapes to the left but its wont effect the rating i give the gun because that is the way it was designed.

"Two days into this gun, started as a 3 star, but with a little work it is a 5 star. It came with a small 8.4 volt NiMh, not enough to turn the motor much. I put in a 9.6 NiMh, works but unable to fully use it's features. Also a 7.4V LiPo kept the ROF low. This disappointed me at 1st, but I built a 12V NiMh, and it came alive. The MOSFET started working well and the ROF was very good. I had to clean the gear box a bit, but not much. I also found chips on the paint, painted over (overspray found on the gear box).

Pros:
Extremely durable, heavy, and accurate build
Easy to maintain.
Easy to upgrade.
Adjustable MOSFET really works!
Ammo box can fit large batteries
Ammo box auto feed also works well

Cons:
Cosmetics aren't the best
Needs a bit of work before getting it's full potential
Ammo box auto feed switch is backwards (continuous on auto, auto on continuous)

Overall, I love it. compare the next vendor's cost for this model is $2K, this is absolutely worth it. This might work better with a high speed motor, I believe it is a high torque installed, hence the slower rate of fire with lower voltage batteries, but don't quote me.

"ive had this gun for about 2 months now and it works fine. it easily goes through a bottom of a can. this gun is not for begginers. remember to dry shoot it once after a battle or target practicing.made very sturdy which makes it heavy but that doesnt matter because you are suppose to camp with these light machine guns definately use .23 grams

Pros-
sturdy
great ROF
easy detachable gearbox
reliable

Cons-
when you run out of bbs
tricky to put on box mag but once you get it it is very easy to get on


Conclusion
great gun sturdy,reliable,great ROF and Fps.

"Great gun it shoots 380~390 fps and has great rof A&K has really put a lot of effort into this gun after the failures in the MK43 MOD0 it is mostly metal and is very good for the support role on your team im 14 and im 5 ft 9.5" so its not that heavy for me im not going to add that as a con because if you are too small do not get this gun it is HEAVY

pros
Mostly metal except for the polymer stock
very heavy which ads to realism
pretty inexpensive for an M60!!!
Its the regular Vietnam model not the ugly SEAL model
good fps and rof
ETC.......

cons
its not edible really there is nothing wrong with it

"This LMG is toooooo legit for words. First off, it feels great in your hands, its a little heavy(30 lbs. give or take), it comes with a free full metal m60 style flash hider.

Pros:
1.adjustable rate of fire
2. huge box mag, 33% bigger than a saw's box mag.
3. Intimidating as H#LL.
4.full freakin' metal.
5.very cheap(monitarily, not quality)
6. barrel is easily removed with the flick of a switch
7.groupings are tight
8. accurate
9. sounds great with a sound amplifer and a 9.6 4000 mAH.

Cons:
1. HEAVY
2. the bolt isnt attached to a spring, so when you pull it back, it stays back.
3. my bolt broke off, probably my fault

besides these few faults, this a great gun.

"I have just got this weapon. A+mazing! It is accurate, slightly heavy same weight as a real 249 SAW. My only issue is that it did not come with the Flash Hider it shows on the Site. Very nice that it holds like 4000 rounds.

Pros
Accurate
Durable
Realistic
Box Magazine

Cons
Weight

"i was wondering if this uses a short type motor like the m249, and if the rate of fire changer is the same for all batteries.

"I just got this gun. It was on Back order from Evike, so I found it somewhere else. But it's the same product, so...

OMG FINALLY an M60 MK43 within reach of the common man!! Been wanting one of these since Inokatsu came out with their $1500 version (don't quote me on the price).

I don't have a chrono, but it seems to be on par with my ICS M4 (around 350 fps with .25's).

ROF is decent with a 9.6v 3200 mah (I still don't trust Lipo). The ROF adjustmet feature on the gas tube is great, I don't lay down a "hose" of bb's, so being able to tone it down a bit during mid/low cap games is great. I hope this will make the gears last longer as well.

I'm in the Army and I used to be a M60 gunner, this thing feels and looks so real I can't believe it. I brought it to work today and my commander thought It was real. Everyone at work wanted to shoot it. They all loved the realism and couldn't believe that it was a BB gun, lol.

The Ammo box holds about 3500 BB's and feeds flawlessly. Little difficult to set up at first and the settings for the feed are confusing, but once you get it set you're good to go!

Pros:
Great, realistic look and feel
decent ROF/FPS out of the box
the adjustable ROF switch is a really cool feature
Sturdy bipod (unlike the M249's)
Ammo box on side is very rugged well thought out
great detail especially for a "clone" company

Cons:
Carry handle is a little wobbly, still works though
Orange flashider set screw was hard to get to without stripping a little of the threads
Ammo box settings are difficult to get to, you have to disassemble the box to get to it
Would be great if it came with a quality sling and "dummy" rounds (which I had to order seperate)

Recommendations: BUY THIS GUN if you need a support weapon

"Alright so i bought the same gun and tried it out for a bit. I've had it for lets say a few months and i really am starting to love this gun. Of course it's a big heavy gun, but it's not that bad for any average male teen. Anyway Overall this gun has impressed me and left me a little disappointed (but not too bad). I have owned the real gun and it is almost exactly the same in the design.

Pros:
- it has a very long barrel which gives for it's accuracy
- It doesn't have any rails (i need to know if i can add rails to it) but the iron sights work like a charm from at least a few hundred feet away.
- it has a piece to change the ROF so if you don't have a lot of bb's you can slow it down but it does get to be very fast with a good battery
- it does have an electronic winding 3,500 mag. (though i've heard it fits up to 4,000)
- most of it's components are metal (most being the key word)
- it comes apart into two pieces just like the real gun for easier disassembly

Cons:
- it is a little loose when you get it. I was a little dissapointed when i had pieces falling off like the fake slide. but it isn't so bad, it doesn't affect the performance at all.
- if you don't add a better battery it shoots somewhat slow..
- A few of the pieces are a little rough on the fingers like the trigger grip and the extended grip. (just use duck or electrical tape)
- it does feel more for a left handed person because the box mag fits into place on the left side and it hurts my arm to hold the gun so strangely.

Overall though i really like this gun, it's heavy, accurate, and very fast. Any suggestions for upgrade? you definitely need to buy a 9.6 battery at least only large types because of practical reasons. try to rig a durable sling to the gun if you don't wanna carry it so much. but that's all i can think of. Definitely if you can carry it and you can afford all the pellets.. then go ahead buy this gun. It's not meant for beginners though.
Woot i love this gun!

"The A&K M60 is over all avery nice AEG.
I recieved the AEG from EVIKE on time but the printing was missing from the stock and barrel.
I contacted Evike and they were very helpful in explaining about Customs Regulations and why the typeset was not on the gun.
They made it right with me after I explained this was one of the big reasons why I purchased the M60
After tightening a few loose screws and ajustments this gun was ready to ROCK & ROLL.
A bit of advice "BUY LOTS OF BB'S" your gonna need them. This spits them out at alomost 1000 rnds pr min. Do the math ..thats just under 17 rnds a sec.
