A&K M249 MK2 Support Gun
When i first opened the box i was surprised at the weight of the gun at 6.5kg, i own a G&P ranger and that is a real beast to use all day and well due to the cleaver use of alloys though the gun, in fact nearly all the gun is made of alloy its make the AEG very easy to use and handle and easy to shoulder.
To be honest i found i could use it as a standard AEG, upon testing we found the gun had an impressive FPS of 350.
At 1050mm for the MK2 version it is not a small gun, what we did find was that standard M4 mags can be used if you do not want to use the box mag and also on the Mk2 we think a large battery will fit in the stock if you have a custom battery made as it comes with a 9.6v mini as standard, the use of a metal hop unit and PGC style gearbox makes spring swops easy (not covered under warranty if springs are changed from those fitted)
The sights we also liked as they are fully adjustable for windage and elevation and the box mag is nice and cleaver with 3 switch positions for "Off, Fully Auto and Sound operated" the down side we found on the mag is that is could do with some foam in the bottom of the mag to protect the box mag electrics and some foam on the side plate, but thats easy done for the average user, also we did find the Bi-pod a little on the loose side and the ABS fore grip and had some small movement as dose the carry handle, but hey for the price, and in my opinion certainly is one of the best examples of a mid range support gun i have seen and far exceeds the Star and Top version.
I had chance to use the MK2 weekend, performs well but really needs a down grade as .2 bb's are a no good in stock form with the power and also i would recomend cleaning the barrel and maybe a change of hop rubber. We tested one at 350 +/- 5% fps, but this can vary from gun to gun.
To sum it up, if you want a support gun thats medium in weight but strong, give a good ROF and power, very well finished but prepared to accept the small quirks then this gun is for you.
