Light machine guns, like the FN M249, have been a vital asset on the field for years. Usually the job of lugging one of these bad boys around falls on the shoulders of the strongest person on the team, but today that all changes. This FN Licensed M249 Para "Featherweight" Airsoft Machine Gun solves all the woes of wanting an LMG on the field, but not having the strength and/or willingness to carry it around all day. This M249 weighs in at a reasonable 8lbs, shedding almost 50% of the weight compared to its full metal counterpart! Fear not though, just because it's lightweight doesn't mean it's weak and flimsy. The receiver and chassis are made from a fiber-reinforced nylon polymer that's constructed in a super high strength design, making this featherweight option extremely durable.

The FN M249 Featherweight has also shed some pounds by discarding the original brick-heavy standard M249 gearbox design in favor of a lighter weight souped-up Version 2 gearbox. Full specs of the gearbox internals can be found below.

About the M249:
The FN M249 LMG was born out of true necessity; a need for something lighter than the M60 while still being able to provide ample suppressive firepower. This lightweight evolution of the machine gun is currently in service in the hands of the US military, as well as over 75 other nations around the world.

Based on the FN Minimi, the M249 uses a 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge in a belt-fed configuration, supplied from a plastic box magazine. In a pinch, you may also use STANAG compatible M16 magazines in this weapon system. Over the years the M249 has seen quite a few variants, all purpose-tailored to individual's needs.

"Well, I've had the featherweight for about 2 years, and I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed with how well It's held up through the years. A lot of the games that I play in are outdoor games in the middle of the woods so I'm constantly dropping it all over the place, and banging it into trees, and to my surprise, it hasn't broken yet! I was a little concerned with it being all polymer but the only thing that's broken was when I got a different stock to compensate for a big Ly-ion battery. but that's a different product.

pros:

It's light weight frame makes it way easier to assist other players on the front lines instead of
hanging back and laying cover fire. (But it's good for that too.)

If you're not a fan of box mags, it's compatible with M4 and M16 mags.

The retractable stock is super reliable and sturdy, so you don't have to worry about cracks or
stress there.

Cons:

The battery compartment is a little small, if you run Ly-Ion batteries, you might need to get a
different stock, but other than that it's ok.

I would take care not to slam the top cover too hard too often because when I did one time, it
broke one of the locking slots, but I slammed it pretty hard, so it was kinda my fault... But other
than that it's still a really good gun for the money.

Also, if you really wanna make people fear you on the field, I'd use an 11.1 Li-po or Li-Ion,
but for the Li-Ion you'll probably have to get a different stock.


Overall, it's a really good gun to have in your arsenal or if it's your first gun and I'd really
recommend.

"I love my LMG. I bought it like 4 months ago and it is a blast to shoot. The polymer it is mainly made from is actually tough and sturdy. No issues with the gun itself though I wish they made better box mags for it as box mag I have for it doesn't always feed the most reliable but I hear that is common and that is normally something I can work around so no big loss there. The point is this thing is very fun to shoot and is a conversation piece in and of itself so what is not to love, it even makes a lovely room decoration when not in use.

"I wanted to buy a LMG for 3 years of hard core airsoft, and when I had the spare money I checked this one out.

I bought this gun, the FN M249 "Para" SAW, Tan color, and added a A&K 2,500rnd drum because, what is a LMG without a drum!!!

Pros:

1. Highly affordable
2. Light weight (8lb - 12lb)
3. High quality polymer plastic and metal
4. Version 2 gearbox, and easy to modify
5. Very good FPS (400) and accruate
6. Folding stock
7. Can take M4 magazines (High Cap Mag included)
8. Works best with .20g and .25g bbs
9. Bipod
10. Adjustable Hop-Up



Cons:

1. Does not come with battery or charger





To be honest it is a very good LMG and would highly recommend to beginner LMG SAW gunners or airsofters on a tight budget!
