biguk Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hey guys, just received my M249 and i was wondering. Is there any essential pieces of Kit that i need as a SAW gunner. More with regards to certain pouches, bags. all that kinda thing. Obviously top of my list is a sling, Would a bungee sling work at all? Link to post Share on other sites
CerberusCO Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Not likely. Best to go with a simple 2-point sling with nice padding. Or start stacking on the plates at the gym. Came home last weekend from an all-day op, and the wife says, "Were you carrying the SAW around all day?" I say, "Yeah, why?" She says, "Because your biceps are huge!" SAW pouches are nice to drop bags of BBs in - I have a GTS SAW gunner rig with two said pouches, as well as two AR mag pouches that I use for my radio and other bits. I run the box mag exclusively.

rbhoover Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 if you look on eBay you can generally find a M60 sling, I have one for my M249 Para and made 'sling mounts' out of 550 cord (or paracord if you will) and it works great! It supports and distributes the weight well and also is extremely quite (since all support guns need that) I have $12 invested in making my sling!!! Link to post Share on other sites
clandestine Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 whatever sling you get make sure its really padded, if it isnt, you may end up with a rather sore shoulder. lol. you may need a couple of large utility pouches for ammo, and maybe a few M16/M4 mags if you are stuck in a fire fight and the boxmag runs out as the box mag can get a tad fiddly. lol. finally id recommend ALOT of bbs. you will go through alot more than a standard AEG. hope it helps Link to post Share on other sites
tweaked_tim Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 So buying a rice bag of ammo would be smart then? Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Or probably 2 or 3. I usually use about 1500 bbs when using a "regular" aeg, but last time I was support gunning with the new SAW I went through about 10,000. Also spare batteries are a must. Link to post Share on other sites
tweaked_tim Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 How about a spare saw? I have 2 on the way. Link to post Share on other sites

TheMerchantOfVenice Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 So how's the A&K M249? It's presented itself in my list of "First real, badass AEG" category. I'm a newb support gunner. Link to post Share on other sites
Badly Browned Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...howtopic=126293 Good place to start researching. In a sentence, the A&K is a good buy, just replace the hop up rubber and nub, and replace/fiddle with the boxmag and your good to go. My A&K is completely stock, except for a guarder hop up. I also replaced the A&K boxmag with a CA clothmag. Works just fine, I just want to get a lipo for it now. Link to post Share on other sites
cafemondo Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Mines coming upto 1 year old, still rock solid, still great, still getting the kills. Best £200 ever spent possibly. Link to post Share on other sites
TheMerchantOfVenice Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Looks like it's the way to go. Just need a sling and a badass optic! So, what do you guys carry your M249 gear in? I already have gear for my AK and such. Link to post Share on other sites
cafemondo Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Do you mean a rifle case? Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 So, what do you guys carry your M249 gear in? My arms I just stick my para in my normal rifle case (usallyalong with two other AEG's) and then the box mag in my kitbag. When I'm skirmishing with it I just wear my normal belt kit and carry a spare bag of ammo in my dump pouch and a couple of hicaps in the mag pouches just in case. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Does anyone have the width of the CA/A&K/PGC M249 gearbox handy? Trying to see if it's too wide for what I'm envisioning, thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

Kaden Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Sry its an old thread and I know that its frowned apon to do this but I recently got my Saw and am interested to learn some new things of the trade... everythings real quiet on here so far so I thought i might sa something Link to post Share on other sites
Agent47 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 been looking through this thread for an answer but couldn't find one.... how many of you support gunners out there have assistants/someone that carries extra mags for you? If you do, how was your experience with them? Am debating on whether to get more drum mags for my LCT RPK as there have been situations where I have actually used up all 9000 rounds in a single game before it has ended...
