staticzero Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Same as me then, i look forward to finding out if it is possible <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If the Star MkII stock is at all like the CA, then it should be possible to rewire it to the stock. In the case of the Para, I'm hoping I can make something work in the handguard. I don't have any experience with SAWs though, so I'm going to have to research it a bit. I'm sure it's been covered somewhere. Damn, I want the para, but no cash... hmmm... Show your appreciation for the work of the mods! Now accepting donations! No really, going to save up for one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm. Not a bad idea... Except, donate to me, your faithful reviewer! Link to post Share on other sites
airsoftgi Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 the battery is located inside of the drum mag. So you will need the drum mag to fire you gun. You do not need to press another button to wind the magazine, the magazine will wind by itself while you are firing the gun. It shoots roughly 280 to 300 fps. hm... that is all. We are just about sold out. Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan74 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I thought that the mk.II could hold the battery in the stock also? Maybe needs some modding? Link to post Share on other sites

killerabbit Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 does anyone know if these two can accept m16 magazines? Or course the guns bettery would have to me be moved from the box mag to the foregrip if at all possible Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Just got a Email back from Zero one, they can't take M16 mags sadly Link to post Share on other sites
UrPeaceKeeper Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Just got a Email back from Zero one, they can't take M16 mags sadly <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Absolute Blasphemy!!!! All in favor of rushing STAR's Head quarters to complain? Link to post Share on other sites

staticzero Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Expect a ton of pics from static <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And soon, it would seem... Status: In Transit - On Time Scheduled Delivery: Nov 3, 2005 It's a good thing too since I'll have no time to work on it over the weekend. I should be able to give it a solid look before then though (assuming it arrives on time). Depending on the timing, I'm thinking I'll be able to get an initial impression and some pictures up thursday night or friday morning, and some performance data and other more in-depth stuff up friday night. I'm looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger Happy10 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Elrey I know your pain. I have to decide get the last para now or wait for static to review his. If I am going to spend $600 I want to know what I am getting Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that STAR makes a good quality product. I'm waiting for your first impressions. p.s. if you want to see a very good machine gun, look at this website (my softairclub ) www.maddogs.it in the weapons section , M60 Link to post Share on other sites
WarMonger Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 ive been browsing around different forums trying to find more info on this gun, and i see alot of bad mouthing about the "plastic" gearbox. people are making it sound like its the same cheap plastic they make springers with. this is POLYCARBONATE, the same stuff they make most goggle lenses with, and even stronger ballistic goggles for the military. people hear plastic and instantly assume its weak, and cheap. Star was not cutting corners and being cheap making a polycarbonate gearbox shell, that stuff is much more expensive (and stronger) than the cheap pot metal most companies are using right now.

American GI Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Basically, most of it is plastic, therefore the weight is light. Decent ROF, with a Boxmag included in the package. very good value for money, but a good weapon for the weaker airsofters who want a Minimi! Link to post Share on other sites
kong Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 most of the people who are complaing about the StarM249 are doing it cos they have shelled out the cash on a Top or CA and hate the idea of some one having a support gun and not spending $hit loads for it.

Duke Togo Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Being the big man with the big gun is all about support. When an 85 lb kid running with a MKII is around avery corner it cheapens the role IMO. I've got an Asahi M60E3 and M249, both weigh around 20 lbs each, puts out 4xx fps and accurate to 100 yards. At 6' 4" 260, when I carry one of these into battle it puts fear into the opposition. Seeing a 4' nothing fidget with a plastic 249 is likley to bring about laughter. And last I saw $600 is still not cheap. That is a lot of dough for an AEG with the build quality of a TM M16. That said, at least Star is addressing the need for a decent, affordable mechbox for the 249. The idea of three different-use boxes is unique too. The guns should either be $200 less or have more metal in the construction. Link to post Share on other sites
staticzero Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Man, lot of assumptions in here. Yeesh. And I think some of you guys are forgetting to have fun! Anyway...

Jordan74 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Well, as you said, $600 is not pocket change...don't think alot of 12 year old kids will have their mommys buying this one for them (no offense to said 12 year old kids) static-can i come over? Link to post Share on other sites

Cinder Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Seeing as how its mostly plastic, is there any wobble? My disposable income is currently at $700 and I have a real itchy trigger finger( I haven't player in like 3 months !) Link to post Share on other sites
