VFC M249 GBBR

The VFC M249 GBB is the world’s first-ever production green gas-powered, open bolt gas blowback M249 airsoft machine gun! Although VFC is humble enough to say that this is the first M249 GBB, we dare to say that this is the first GBB in a belt-fed machine gun form. If that is not enough to convince you to get this gun, well there is more to this airsoft machine gun than just being the first ever M249 gas airsoft machine gun.

Externally, the M249 GBB machine gun by VFC has all the correct markings in all the corresponding areas of the gun. Also, this M249 is of full metal construction, as it’s mostly made of aluminum alloy, why not steel you might ask? This is done so to make this gun extra lightweight, allowing it to be more skirmish friendly as lugging around a full steel M249 is quite a chore, to say the least. However, it is still very robust and feels very solid like every other GBB made by VFC as all the essential weight and bearing parts are made of steel. Other than the markings and build quality, being a GBB, most airsofters would expect peak realism even in how it takes down, the VFC M249 gas airsoft machinegun takes down very similarly to the real steel one, making it very realistic and ideal for those who are interested in knowing how to field strip and disassemble an actual M249 LMG.

Internally, the VFC M249 airsoft LMG, unlike most conventional gas airsoft guns, has its gas reservoir and BB magazine in separate areas as the gas is held solely in the M4 / AR15 magazine-style gas tank and the actual BB magazine is a lightweight polymer magazine that you insert into the top cover of the feed tray. This is done so to allow the M249 to have an ease of operation while keeping things realistic.
