This M249 SAW Paintball Gun is all metal construction. It is built from a T68 Gen4 paintball gun with selective firing mode: semi, burst and full auto.
The M249 SAWS is a lightweight,
gas-operated, 100 rounds magazine tube,
individually portable machine gun capable of delivering a large volume
of effective fire. The M249 provides accurate fire approaching that of
the rifle yet gives the heavy volume of fire common to a machine gun.
The M249 replaces the two automatic M16A1 rifles in the rifle squad on a
one-for-one basis in all infantry type units and in other units
requiring high firepower. Fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAWS filled the
void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)
during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (M14 Series / M16A1
Rifles) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons. |
