Screwschom Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I added the faux bullets myself. I bought 50rd's linked for $20. CA also sells 12 linked rounds for sale. They do not come with the box mag. Depending on how much milk you drink, it may break your back. It weighs 6.6KG unloaded w/o battery. Add a large battery, box mag, and 2400 bb's, your talking a good 7-8 KG's. In the US they cost about $930 w/o box mag. Since I have a resale licenscee I got it for quite a bit cheaper. On the bottom of the box mag (which uses one small 9v battery) there is a green button. Push it in part way and it will wind until you let go, push it in until it clicks and it will wind until you push the button again. Amazingly, NO FEEDING PROBLEMS! Link to post Share on other sites
Agent47 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Oh god, this is torture I have to decide between the STAR SOPMOD M14, the TM M14, the STAR M249 and the CA M249 jesus. hey screwshom do you work for spartan imports or something? Link to post Share on other sites
Screwschom Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 No, but I am a business associtate with Spartan Imports. Link to post Share on other sites
Butter18c Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I've always been in love with the 249, so I must say that is the sh*t. The only thing I would change is the bullet color to the regular bullet color. I know its tracer rounds at that the others are "normal", but I'm more of a traditionalist Link to post Share on other sites
futbolpunk Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Doesn't a 2000 mah battery needs to be recharged after around 2400 rounds? I have a 2000 mAh 9.6v battery in my Spetsnaz and I've put 4000 rounds through it in one day with no problems. I think it would die out on me at around 9000 rounds, but I've never even gotten it close to running out of juice, so idk. Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I had a 1800 mah large nicad battery, and I got 3000 or so out of it once over a few weeks time span. Link to post Share on other sites
Screwschom Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 nicads are funny, it could have had a stroke Oh and the bullet color, yea I know... they look like christmas lights. once i get my .223 die im going to pull the green ones and put come copper on top.

Butter18c Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 my old m4, i put around 1000 or more rounds through on a 600mah Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie182 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 After some deep thought over night, I have come to the conclusion that I really do NEED one. Been chatting to my mates as well (were sort of a casual team) and we've pretty much decided to buy one between the 4 of us. That is of course unless I give in and make the mistake of going in to A2 with my credit card again. Link to post Share on other sites
Screwschom Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 M249 would prob be an okay gun to split, as im sure people wouldnt mind rotating duties carrying the thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie182 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Yeah, that's my thinking as well mate. Link to post Share on other sites

BadAssTronaut Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 My G&P M4 will do 8000 rounds on a GP 8.4V 2000mAh battery before its outta juice. Link to post Share on other sites
scooberoo Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I hope you all get back problems with it. If you already do, then I hope you get front problems. Then when you sell your CA249's for cheaper, then I'm gonna buy it from you. Hehehehe! Awesome gun. Link to post Share on other sites

solution_zero Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Well, its official. I'm buying one. Less than $300 to go. I'm now working double shifts and over time all this week. Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I got a close look at Screwschom's new M249 today, and fired a burst. Boy, this is absolutely the most amazing piece of airsoft hardware I have ever seen! (Screwschom, forgot to ask which spring upgrade did you do?) However, I don't see me getting one in the near future, not just funding issues, but also the shear weight of the beast, two and a half times as heavy as my M15A4 Carbine! I'm already getting some work out running around with my carbine. I don't think I can carry this around in the field, though the CA M203 would be PERFECT for defending a bunker or a hill.

Catchv22 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I also got to fire one recently. The ROF is nice and fast and it seem to fire like any other AEG. The external build quality is very nice and the weight is a good deal heavier than your average AEGs. If you're looking for an M249, the CA seems to be a winner. Shao, where'd you get to fire a few bursts from yours? Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Shao, where'd you get to fire a few bursts from yours? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not mine, it's Screwschom's, and he brought it to the field at Windsor where we played, and he let me shoot it a bit. He upgraded the spring but I forgot to ask him which spring he has in it now (he also showed us how easy it is to change the spring. Never seen the ICS M4 split gearbox in action, but can't be any easier than changing the main spring on the M249). With the upgrade, it shot harder than my stock M15, and seemed more accurate too (though no scientific tests were carried out), and the ROF is excellent. Link to post Share on other sites

ColSanders Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Well... Soon as the Para comes out bye bye M733... I love the spring change. Will make changing for cqb really easy. For once no worries bout shooting too hot. Alex "Col Sanders" Link to post Share on other sites
