 The
gears are constructed of a high quality metal and feature a
custom designed differing radically from both Tokyo Marui
and SystemA AEG gears. The mechanism has been custom
designed for the M249 and is well up to the standard needed
for electric machine gun requirements. The hop-up unit is produced
under license from KM/Head 1950, which is a another update
over the old M60 series.

The
standard M16 magazine for M249 holds 45 BB's and the box magazine
holds 1000 BB's. The muzzle velocity with a 0.20g BB is 85m/s
which is in keeping of the ASGK rules and regulations.
Yoshitomo
Co. Ltd. is planning to release total of four variants
of M249 series during the year 2002.
The standard TOP M249 SAW retails at 128,000 Yen with
the next production run (the second in total) being scheduled
for April 2002.

 New
TOP AEGs: So what are TOP going to produce in
the near future? Well they are now in a race to develop
both the first production Barret M82A1 and the Galil
ARM (Assault Rifle Machinegun) AEGs. Here's what
Miki had to say: - Arnie
"...TOP
is going to produce the GALIL ARM as an electric gun. The release
date is set to around Christmas 2002.
TOP is
also going to be releasing a BARRET M82A1 and has discussed
with us some of their plans regarding it. What is extremely
interesting is that it's going to be electric. This is a huge
project for TOP, which means that you will again see another
high quality product from them.
In Japan
the race to produce M82A1 has begun and we will see soon see
who are going to be the top players in it. More details to be
released soon.
You can
place us additional inquiry requests for the Galil at service.tokyohobby@tokyohobby.net
with subject header: TOP GALIL ARM or for the Barrett at
service.tokyohobby@tokyohobby.net
with subject header: TOP BARRET M82A1..." - Miki
