If you are looking for a squad automatic weapon (SAW) the ECHO1 M249 may be the best option for you. It features full metal construction and a detailed finish that makes you feel like you are holding the real thing. In addition to the 2400 round box magazine the ECHO1 M249 has the ability to use standard M4/M16 magazines (just like the Classic Army), so you have the ability to share magazines with the rest of your squad. The folding metal bi-pod and skeletal stock with shoulder rest make this SAW ready to lay down a base of fire.

Things I liked:This gun has a real nice rof. Amazing range and accuracy. The retractable stock is a real nice thing to have makes the gun feel alot lighter. You can definatley feel the sting when you get hit. Box mag is awesome!! Love how you can put m4 and m16 mags in it. Things I would have changed: What others should

Things I would have changed: What others should know:Buy this one instead of the a&k m249 I had the a&k and it only shot like 75 feet with hop up and .20s. I can hit people with no problem that are at least 150 feet away while using .20s. This is a heavy gun and makes you move alot slower. This more for attacking a base defending or camping. It is still great for everything else don't get me wrong.

Things I liked:Sturdiness. It is about 98% metal and is metal where it counts (gearbox, bipod, stock).
Magazine Capacity (box mag). The auto wind feature is amazing, and has a few options for winding, auto (winds the whole thing) and sound control (winds when needed).
Stock. Having a collapsible stock is great since you don't always need

Magazine Capacity (box mag). The auto wind feature is amazing, and has a few options for winding, auto (winds the whole thing) and sound control (winds when needed).
Stock. Having a collapsible stock is great since you don't always need a full length gun.
RoF. This gun has an amazing rate of fire. During my first test fire, I believe that some slower bb's were knocked out of the air by other ones.
FPS. At 360fps it was taking bark off of one of my trees. Things I would have changed:The box magazine would be nicer made of metal. A better manual would have made it a little easier to explain everything. The interface between clip and clip-receiver could have been better designed. The gun will sometimes jam if the clip moves out a bit. A simple removal and replace of the clip solves the problem. Include a good sling, and it would be perfect.
The price is a little over the top, but when you compare the same gun to a Marui or CA, the power is better, and it is pre-upgraded, unlike the others. What others should know:Do not use .12gm bbs and this gun would shatter them in the barrel. Get yourself a sling, or be prepared to carry a very heavy weapon. This is not a weapon for the weak budgeted, as it goes through half a container of 5000 every fill of the magazine.
A note on compatible M4/M16 magazines...They do fit, and high caps are essential, but you will need to wind them more then once, as full auto will empty them fast.
