VFC M249 Gas Blowback (GBB) Support Rifle

The M249 machine gun was officially named "Squad Automatic Weapon, 5.56mm, M249" in the US military. It is a improved version of the FN minimi light machine gun made by the FN of Belgium. In 1984, it officially became a standard issue machine gun for the US military. It is also the most indispensable firepower support weapon in the infantry squad.
From 1965, the M60 and M2 have become the main machine guns of the US Army and the US Marine Corps, but both have a certain weight and need at least two people to operate effectively. The Bailangning Automatic Rifle (BAR) was also replaced by the M14 rifle in 1957, while other soldiers could only support the firepower with the M16 rifle. Therefore, the U.S. Army hopes to develop a machine gun that only needs a single soldier operation, lighter than M60, and has better firepower than M16 make the soldiers not need to use M16 to make full automatic shooting to fill the firepower.

As the world's first practical mass production M249 GBB machine gun, at the beginning of the development of this product, VFC positioned the M249 GBB is not only the appearance, but also committed to its lightweight design. And through the new GBB system that is separated from "BBs" and "gas supply", allows them to have a stable and powerful supporting firepower in addition to the mobility on the Airsoft field, and the GBB system retains the operating simulation and the field striping simulation features. Make it the M249 GBB with both great appearance and practicality.

VFC from the overall design, material, operation, appearance, as well as the engraving, which are fully reproduced the U.S. Military M249 style.

Unprecedented Lightweight Aluminium Alloy Structure Design
VFC’s M249 GBB utilizes aluminium alloy for the main structure, which greatly reduces the weight of the whole product. This provides a weight reduction from almost 10 kg (if manufactured using full steel material) to about 4 kg with the VFC aluminium design. Internally, all key components are still made from steel, so durability is retained where it matters most! This design not only reduces the weight, but also maintains the structural strength of the M249 platform.

New Designed GBB System
The new GBB system design is separated through the "BBs" and "gas supply power". In addition to the dedicated plastic magazine, the gas supply power can be selected as "gas supply magazine" or "gas supply ammo Box "Ensure the power output, allowing you to have more stable and powerful support firepower. In addition, for power pressure adjustment, the new gas pressure degradation valve is updated, for more stable fire output.

Easy HOP-UP Adjustment
To allow users to directly adjust the HOP-UP on the Airsoft battlefield, we have developed a simpler adjustment method for the HOP-UP. The HOP-UP can be tuned directly on the body of the M249, without having to open the bolt or the receiver cover assembly. You only need a simple 2mm hex wrench to make HOP-UP changes on the fly!

Realistic Field Stripping
VFC M249 GBB machine gun not only has strong firepower, but also retains the operational experience close to the entity as much as possible. Staying true to the field striping design of the real M249, this realistic field striping design is not only just a fun feature, but also more convenient for daily product maintenance.
