FN M249 MK1 Light Machine Gun Replica [A&K]

Originally known as the Minimi, the M249 MKI was manufactured by FN Herstal, also known as Fabrique Nationale Herstal, a Belgian firearms manufacturer. The Minimi made its debut in 1974 and garnered interest from numerous countries, including Australia, Canada, the United States, Greece, Italy, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Thailand, New Zealand, and, naturally, Belgium.

Fully licensed

This M249 Full Metal replica in the world of airsoft stands out as the real deal, proudly featuring the official Belgian FN Herstal markings under the esteemed CYBERGUN license. Designed to faithfully replicate the authenticity of the original, it provides a genuine and immersive feel, allowing you to experience the handling of a firearm that perfectly mirrors the authentic FN design.

A high-level collaboration.

Through a strategic collaboration with the esteemed Taiwangun company, A&K has crafted this replica with unsurpassed precision and meticulous attention to detail. Thanks to this partnership, FN Herstal engravings have been faithfully replicated and accurately placed on the lower part of the body and the external barrel. Notably, the barrel description now includes caliber markings and thread pitch, staying true to the original design. The trigger assembly has been intricately designed to closely resemble the original and has been specially modified to ensure the shortest trigger pull, enabling rapid responses and precise shot control. Additionally, the barrel mounting system underwent a thorough analysis and adjustment, addressing any issues related to fitting the barrel into the rifle.

Simple design and practicality

The electric rendition of the FN M249 MKI machine gun boasts a robust construction, employing a blend of metal, steel, and durable polymer materials. Components such as the body, charging handle guide, ammunition belt feeder, box latch, barrel release, transport handle, bipod, trigger guard, and all screws and pins are meticulously crafted from steel. The top cover, barrel, stock, bipod assembly, gas block, and muzzle brake are forged from high-quality metal, while the pistol grip, barrel shroud, front grip, and trigger block are composed of synthetic material.
The MK1 incorporates a folding bipod integrated into the handguard, providing users the ability to set up and fire the weapon from a fixed and emplaced position. The stock faithfully replicates the original MK1 M249's skeleton stock, complete with its folding shoulder support.
In line with the original design, the A&K M249 MKI provides the versatility of using two types of magazines for ammunition feed - standard M4/M16-type magazines and dedicated box magazines tailored for M249 replicas.

A reinforced Gearbox

At the core of this airsoft rifle lies a robust fully metal-reinforced M249 gearbox, designed to sustain prolonged and continuous suppressive fire. The gearbox is equipped with a convenient quick spring change system, offering the flexibility to easily replace the spring. Inside the gearbox, a comprehensive 18:1 reinforced gear set is mounted on 8mm ball bearings, ensuring smooth operation and providing 20 rps. Compression is guaranteed by a flat CNC-machined aluminum piston and cylinder head set, featuring a double-sealed cylinder head with a thick sorbothane pad and a piston head with ball bearings.
A&K pays meticulous attention to details during the replica's modification, incorporating a modified microswitch for a faster and more responsive trigger. Another critical aspect is the enhanced hop-up unit, featuring a new rubber and a special omega-standard nub for improved range and accuracy.
