Knight's Armament Airsoft (KAA) Full Metal Licensed KAC Stoner 96 LMG AEG Light Machine Gun

"Just to start out, this thing is awesome! I bought it to immediately install a Polarstar Jack which was honestly super easy. I haven’t shot the it with the Jack but here’s some notes about the original:

Pros
-Piston is polymer with a FULL rack of steel teeth (different than every disassembly video on YouTube.
-Gears are generic classic army. Not bad but not great
-trigger microswitch is better than the taps on V2 gearboxes(had to solder an extra plug for the P*, but not difficult)
The box mag feed is super intuitive, 9v battery powered and easy to add BBs
Heavy enough to be an LMG, light enough to not hate carrying

Cons
-The battery storage is awful
-The motor is okay. With higher speed gears and more torque on the motor this thing would rip
The clip for the hop up is atrocious. The barrel still moves even being fully clipped in…. get the bull gear hop up if you want consistency.

Overall
I highly recommend this LMG and will likely buy another in the future.

"STONER 96 LMG AEG very good gun not to heavy but not light. only thing i dislike is the battery storage which is in the handguard.
otherwise a okay fire rate box mag is a little finicky but would still buy again

"initial impression of the stoner as I've only had it about a week: its a great rifle. id say its the best offensive style, lightweight machine gun on the market! at its fully extended position, its shorter than an m4 carbine, and weighs roughly 12lbs, fully loaded with an optic, full mag, and dummy round, it can't be beat. I've owned every support weapon on the market and this is now my go to gun for staying mobile. has about 250 foot range with the hop up dialed in. 400fps on a .2 bb and the mag keeps up with the fire rate no problem. and yes the large 2400 round m249 box mag will lock in, and can be modified very slightly, it will work just fine. only problem ive had was straight out of the box. mine came looking slightly used. paint worn off on a few places, as well as a few pieces were loose in the box. namely the stock button, and the latch that holds the lower receiver to the gun. but it took less than 5 minutes to remedy that and nothing as truly missing so i'm not complaining. also, you should probably buy loctite with the gun, much of the stock assembly is held in place with set screws that come loose quickly. but once you get them in place correctly, and loctited they aren't going anywhere. also, you can get a 9.6 to fit stick battery to fit. however you have to remove the long wire connector first. but its tamiya connected and connects right at opening where the inner barrel meets the gearbox. so battery changes are a pain but possible. this also gives a slight fire rate boost since the wiring distance is shorter, so i consider that a pro. ill probably be putting up a youtube review soon as well, so look there for more answers and a visual guide to some of the things i talked about here. overall 7/10 simply for the packaging issues and the slightly used look straight from the box.
