hitmanNo2 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Early leak before the MOA Show starting tomorrow. VFC are releasing a GBB M249. Gas/C02 powered. More details to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LooneyAirsoft Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 So... now that the drum mag is actually the gas reservoir, how are we supposed to run a drum mag...? I am bamboozled how VFC can go this far to this extent, only to unpractically switch the two reservoirs. Perhaps I am misunderstanding how a GBB M249 works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted November 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Very good info in this vid that shows how to bypass how it's designed to operate and get it run with proper box mags. https://youtu.be/kxwj6QbtjU4?si=TFwuPNQ9fNXqsSLd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Totally forgot to post the video here. In the two months since I uploaded that video the guns have still been going strong. There are currently four M249s in my local community, and the two most frequent users have both surpassed the 20K mark with no apparent signs of degradation. I'm quite disappointed that the cassette mags are so half-assed, and the gas box has all the normal problems with using gas guns on full auto, but converting to AEG boxes and HPA is really, really easy and massively elevates the gun. I should also share that since uploading the video, I've found that a Maple Leaf Wonder bucking with the stabilizer ring slightly shortened and re-bent smaller- just to create a bit of constriction, so that the BB has to be pushed through the bucking- both significantly improves accuracy and renders the nozzle standoff mod redundant. I'll probably be doing a follow-up on that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
