Product Description

The M249 SAWS is a lightweight, gas-operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, individually portable machine gun capable of delivering a large volume of effective fire. The M249 AR provides accurate fire approaching that of the rifle yet gives the heavy volume of fire common to a machine gun. The M249 replaces the two automatic M16A1 rifles in the rifle squad on a one-for-one basis in all infantry type units and in other units requiring high firepower. Fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAWS filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (M14 Series/M16A1 Rifles) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Other reviewers are misled, this is a solid gun., December 15, 2005

First of all, the other reviewers are, for the most part, not active airsoft enthusiasts.

This is an M249 SAW, not some M4 that you do recon with and certainly not some low grade spring gun for a backyard skirmish. The purpose of the SAW is to lay down cover fire, not give you 700fps out of the box.

I've played with other players who own one of these, and it is a very good gun. It's a real beast on the field but obviously not for the beginner. I've been shot by it and if you think that "350fps is nothing" then you have another thing coming. And to those complaining about the price, do some research first. It's $900 for a reason.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its a CA, June 27, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Classic Army M249 MKII SAW Machine Gun (Misc.)

ok people its a classic army so you have to expect qualitly from the price. it is also full metal. meaning more money. CA makes great guns i have a M15A3rifle and it is amazing. my friend has had this gun for about a year and has not had to change any gears or the motor or spring. it is also very upgradeable because once again it is a CA. This is not my first choice(money) but it is still very nice. if you want a good affordable CA gun go to SHortyusa.com and u can get a nice CA fun for about 300-400.

Alright, this gun is awesome. No doubt about that. And to all you people writing "Kid's Reviews";$900 isn't actually that much money. It can't buy a "perfect computer." A regular person's paycheck could survive losing $20 a week(just don't buy soda&junk food). In a year, hooray, huge gun. 350 fps is quite powerful, and any more power than that would slow down the rof too much to provide suppressive fire. You are supposed to be trying to keep people down with this, not snipe. Sure, you can buy 2 real AKs for that price, but you're supposed to have airsoft wars with this, not hold up banks. Airsoft should be fun, not lethal!

Thank you. Sheesh.
