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

"This is an outstanding gun for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did not buy mine from EVIKE, BUT I want to save someone some hassel. Make sure you keep the 3 position switch on the mag set to off for normal operation! When you pull the trigger the mag starts winding feeding the BB'S! I put mine to AUTO-thinking auto fire, no good for sure! I'm getting my jammed gear box fixed as we speak. The MOSFETT , ROF control is great, SUPER for the rifle! Full metal great replica no dought!!!!! ADD this one to your collection for sure!!! HOORAH TDB I did not get a user manual with mine, get a great PDF copy on line if you don't get one. Don't forget to get the proper flash surpresser, the bird cage looks like hell!!!!!!!!

"The first time I got the m60VN I thought it was the best thing I've ever purchased in terms of coolness...However, it does come with its own issues.

First off, the clear plastic tube that the magazine comes with must stay on the magazine tube or else the connector will disconnect with the slightest movement

Next, there's the issue with the microswitch. Mine, although not defective, did wear out from too much lipo usage (I recommend using 9.6v nimh for this gun) which caused the connectors inside the micro switch to burn out, keeping the gun in fire until the battery was disconnected. It was an easy fix to replace the microswitch however that has risk of ruining the warranty so I highly recommend that you take it to the wonderful staff at Evike for a quick fix.

Another thing to be careful about with this gun is the connector to the barrel. It sometimes has a tendency to unlock itself which may be a problem when you're on the field but just make sure you check the tightness of the lock when re-attaching the barrel otherwise it could fall off and tear off the connector that lets the gun work.

Overall with these issues the gun is still a 9/10 just because its that cool. The gun is quick to turn heads in a field surrounded by m249's and m4's and makes for a great weapon for my Vietnam loadout.

"I love to hate this amazing gun. (Do not refer to it as a, “LMG”, by the way — it’s actually a heavy machine gun. Both literally and classification-wise.)

I’m new to airsoft but quickly went all in and am loving not only the actual playing a game side, but also the collecting and tinkering aspect. This gun is a great AEG to learn to tinker on and understand how AEGs function. I kinda had to, since it didn’t work out of the box.

After completely tearing it down and checking each thing for operability as I did, I eventually found the problem. Naturally, it was the first thing I thought of but had no means to diagnose and fix — a garbage NiMH battery and charger I bought with it. I do not recommend buying the, “suggested”, battery and charger. Both were defective and their only utility was serving as the reason to disassemble the gun and figure out how it works and all.

I picked up locally A 7.4V LiPo, connected it using the trash small tamiya I will soon be replacing with deans, and the gun immediately worked.

It worked too well, in fact. The chrono I had to do to get my MED for a night skirmish consistently reported close to 420 fps using 0.20g 6mm tracer rounds. I expected the 350ish fps as advertised. Sadly, I could not use this bad boy at night because of it and continue to wait impatiently for next month’s daylight game.

I guess that gives me time to purchase an ace tech brighter c tracer, because this thing with a tracer unit is a sight to behold,

Summary
Frustrating as hell but I refused to RMA because it’s just too darn cool and fun. Worth it.
