We have an M240B in stock now (duh) for anyone who wants to snatch it up!

After using it at LZ on the weekend I have to say this AEG is quite impressive here are some PROS and CONS

PROS
- Affordable trigger happy rebrand
- Easy access Hop up unit
- Mosfet built in
- Decent box mag, that can keep up with the bb hungry box
- Quality full aluminum unit
- Easy access mech box (modified version 7)
- Ridiculously resilient construction, after 9 bags of .25 bastard there is barely any wear and tear on the piston unit it even drained my 12.8V madbull LiFe battery

CONS
- Short inner barrel why? a Madbull 650mm cures that issue
- TM look alike rebranded short eg1000 motor, powerfull but strain under heavy spring
- wiring are a tad too long, for the tight space in the back
- Stock are a bitch to put on due to the paint job if you are not carefull you'll pinch the wires running from the mosfet to the motor and battery
- Weird piston and shitty plastic cylinder nozzle assembly (Easily remedied by swapping for a version 2 cylinder head)
- The Cylinder/nozzle and piston head is a mix bag of combined version 2 and 3 and some custom shaved piston (still trying to figure it out)
- Mosfet unit don't like prolonged 12.8V usage, short burts OK but not long ass burst.

Just ordered one... Will let you know how it looks... I heard the carrying handle needed a stronger spring so the barrel would not detach by accident while carrying the MG around... I plan to use this MG in games as ground support AND to mount it in my Ferret Mk2! It will look much better with a proper MG in the turret!

Haven't had a problem with my carry handle... I lugged my 240 around all weekend with it at Mason Relic 3 last year.

BTW, I received the beast and it works great! Only problem so far is the fuse that blew but it is easy to replace! There is no manual with the gun and you have to download one from the Echo1 website... Lame for a 1000$ gun... Plus, the manual is in non-printable format!!

I'm tempted to buy a second mag unit to make myself a smaller ammo bag using a USGI 50 rounds 'nutsack' as a base... The current mag box is bulky and sticks out far to the left...

I removed the front rails on mine to make it look more like the original FN MAG and the front sling-hook as well so it would fit my Ferret turret... It fits like a glove and makes the armored car looks so much better!! It is installed and removed in less than a minute too...

The range is quite good with 0.25g bb's... More then 50 meters. Accuracy is still OK at 50m. I still have to try it in a game! Probably in Sherbrooke in the coming weeks!

I'll need a big case to house the M240! There are some at Prefair in Beloeil that are almost big enough to house it without removing the barrel but not quite...

All in all, a goog buy so far!
