So Wolf just bought this bad boy and it should be here shortly. I will be doing a review of this gun as there is not a good in depth one over a long period of time out there.
Things I like off the bat -Thing is the size of an M4 -Thing Weighs about ten pounds fully loaded -Magazine that feed directly into the gun from the bottem, nothing to get kinked and cause misfeeds. -RIS Rails for Goodies -Magazine runs on a slave cable to the triger I shoot it winds consitently, the mics just don't work that great. -Affordable Box Mags, $90 a peice isn't that bad -Box mag is easy to instal and could be done under fire in the field. -This thing is sitten next to the real steel in the Knights Armorment Museum, right next to the famous Stoner 63 so this thing is not only rocking the name of the real steel gun it is backed by the creators with trademarks and support. -Light weight, Small -Hardly any on the field anywhere this is a rare gun to see. In a world dominated by M249s and M60s it will be nice to rock something different.
Things I Question -The six positions stock, that is removable, is it strong enough to last long? -No Sling Mounts to be seen on picutures although platy of spot to make work
Things I Worry About -1100 Round box mag -1100 Round Box Mag -1100 Round Box Mag -No longer look so much like a gunner, might loss intimdation of players on the feild.
Confused if this is a real gun? No worries this thing is real but not used by any military yet, alot of PMC companies do rock them, Blackwater namely of them all.
This design lost out to the M249 in the mid 80s when the military told Knights Armorment that the gun should have placed into a rifle catagory as it does not look 'big' enough to fill the shoes of a machine gunner. Which makes no sense when the biggest complaint of gunners around the world is the weight of the tools, ammo, and weapon. More When she gets here.

monkey that is the gun. It must have been MW3? Battlefield 3 Has no such gun. I rock the support class their to. Gangnail-Command Yes it does. It will be here monday from evike they are the only one with any of these left. I am thinking about picking up the Stoner 63a from G&P with the text return.

yeah i was pretty positive it was modern warfare 3... But wasnt for sure... I think in the last level with the juggernat suits when you kill makarov is where they put that perticular gun in the mix.. I like it alot..

Doesn't make alot of sense being an old gun to be in Modern Warfare, but I never played the game. lol. Anyway still awaiting the beast. I just got a confirmation the gun is only designed to use 9.6 1500mah batteries... Gonna need to pick some of those up. Although you can run a PEQ box with little modification, and I have seen that there is room to run batteries under the ammo pack on the bottem. We will see when she gets here.
So Far Attachments I will be Adding to the Gun -Elcan Scope -Foregrip -Maybe a PEQ Battery Box -Maybe a Midland Video Recorder.

And Evike has messed up again. Unfortunently they are one of the only places around that still stock this gun so I have to put up with it. The gun has been in their processes center since monday. I was told it was to take 5 business days, which means the gun should be here either this friday, or monday. It has not left california yet, so I'm thinking I will be getting it sometime next friday... Evike is really really letting me down here again....

Just found out the stock on this gun can be removed and replaced with standard M4 stocks. NICE addition if the stock doesn't hold up

i would get the foregrip that doubles as a bipod.... That would be a good choice for this gun in my opinion... I like them because it allows you too place your gun up on hard cover and wherever else it may need placed..

This thing comes with a decent foregrip alread adn to be honest on my bigger guns I found myself just resting it on some of the obsticals we have. ITs on the want list but way down there for now.

After playing around with the new toy I think I have an understanding of what it is. And what it isn't.
It is: Offensively inclined It is not: A defensive platform lacking in a bipod and a large magazine capacity.
It is: A Mobile front line source of Firepower in short periods of time, for a squad to fall back on when hitting a contact from opfor. Is is not: A stationary Gun to form long term defenses around.
It is: The M4a1 RIS Carbine of the machine gun world lots of RIS lots of attachments and a unique wiring setup which allows the use of a PEQ box OR an internal battery with NO modifications at all. It is Not: What a gunner is normally used to at all, and while I love the gun, it is going to have some growing pains with me.
It is: An awesome peice of kit, with a: -Descent ROF -Very Solid, but smaller capacity box mag -SOLID!! The only place this wobbles is the stock which is minut Everything including the box mag is held on tight and isn't going anywhere -Unique -INtelligently wired, and designed
It Needs: -A tightbore of 6.03 inner mm -A hopup -A bigger Spring of M115 or M120
Awesome gun and I cannot wait to get on the feild with it. This is one of the first airsoft guns I absolutely have fallen in love with.

Another overview as I got this out to an open area to shoot some stuff. ROF with a 9.6 is awesome! and there is no need for a new hopup but I am definently gonna need a 6.03 or something because this gun is lacking in the accuracy department.
I understand why now the US army did not like this design for an LMG, which is still thought of as a defensive weapon in US doctrine. This gun is offense all the time, and feels more like a Assault Rilfe. The box mag only having 1100 rounds is getting annoying, and after I get a new phone when mine was destroyed this paycheck, I may see what money is left to get another box mag, because I CAN QUICKLY CHANGE MAGAZINES ONE THE FIELD. Yeah I said it. A Gunner who can change magazines faster then I can poor them into the little hole. YEP.
The gun is awesome and I have to say this is one of the only guns I have fallen in love with right out of the box. I do still need to chrono this, but I am sure I am firing under 400fps The growing pains are giving way to an amazing find. Seeya guys this saturday and sunday for some fun. Wolf is confirmed back, no more working sundays for me.

I like it alot.. Monkey took a look at the weapons in the game. The gun you are using in that game is a Type 46 which is a new setup to the M249 really, slightly different internals but not much else. Not the Stoner KAC Type 96 Machine Gun the airsoft gun is a replication of. Not that it matters, just letting you know.
