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.

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.

this is a good gun and needed for any airsoft war but it is slightly over priced i bought a clone for under $300 on airsplat which is slightly better because it comes upgraded and it comes with the 2400 round electric box mag

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.

im in the army and also a SAW gunner, this is almost a complete reproduction of the real thing except cheaper and dosent shoot the kind of calaiber that i do, i have owned one for a while now and has never let me down, if you have an extra thousand dollars buy it

After reading various reviews, I decided I would post a review with the truth. Before you read and believe other reviews, take into acount that they all say "A kid's review." Those words right there tell you that these reviewers are under 13, and do not/can not have a real job. Minimum Wage is around $5 an hour. This means it will take about 185 hours of work to obtain the money to buy this product. This means if you work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, in about 6 weeks to earn enough to buy this gun. Most people who are going to buy this gun get paid more than minimum wage. No, you cannot buy a real AK47 or a real MP5 for this much money. You can however buy a hunting shotgun. The FPS is low, but people think FPS is everything. Also, don't say things like you can buy 2 VSR snipers for that price! If you were interested in a sniper, you would be looking at snipers, not this! It isn't comparable!

you're right. i am 15 and have been playing airsoft for 3 years.
those kids need to learn the truth.
this is an amazing gun. i myself do not own it (yet...) but have seen it in action. the m249 SAW is almost an essential to every halfway serious airsoft team. in fact, any SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) is needed.
And no, this is not over priced. the high ROF (Rate of Fire) and ammo cap. is amazing. buy an extra mag and you will own the battlefield.

Amazon over priced this gun a little too much, but its a good gun, my friend just got his last monday,and he challenged me to a match to break it in this last weekend. I could bearly get my head up to return fire...way to many bbs coming at me..in the end he ran up, and wasted what ever he had left on me....so yeah, this is a good gun, you could probably get it cheaper somewhere else. but if you want buy it here, you won't regret it too much.

P.S.: This is just an Airsoft gun, not a real weapon...like someone below me said.

that other kid id right if u play in a team depending on the size u need one. myself i have been playing for about 5 years. my team has 3 of the things and let me tell u if u are trying to get up the feild u want some on who can put the knid of fire power down so u need a saw. I have a SAW like this and it is great durable becasue of medal (more money) i have had plastic don't get them they break. I also have a full meadl m16 with M203. with ups and extras about $600. treats me nice. hope this helps

My freind's dad got this gun and its pretty good cause it fires a lot but its really expensive it only shoots 350 fps for a 900+ gun that is wack you could get another really really good aeg for that money and even less
If it werent for the price and the wieght it would be a good gun
i would have paid around 400
