Personal experience with this airsoft machine gun
The first thing you notice is the relatively light weight of 3.6 kg for an LMG. The blowback delivers a tangible recoil with every shot, while the vibrating dummy ammunition belt enhances the realism. The gas system responds instantly and gives you full control over your bursts. The balance is surprisingly good, allowing you to shoot comfortably even after extended periods.
What makes the M249 "minimi" | GBB | VFC special?
VFC has made history with this innovative GBB LMG. The separated gas reservoir and BB magazine is unique – the lightweight polymer BB magazines are placed on top in the feed tray, while the gas is stored separately. The full metal construction with authentic markings gives you the feeling of holding a real M249. The open-bolt system is a technical masterpiece rarely seen.

This gas-powered LMG shoots at 360 FPS and delivers 1.2 joules (with 0.20g BBs). The adjustable hop-up ensures consistent shots, even with heavier BBs. The magazine has a capacity of 175 rounds and operates on the innovative VFC gas system. The barrel length of 360 mm guarantees good accuracy at medium range.
