Which Gun Uses Which Mechbox?
 

Now, I searched around for a bit and didn't find any threads on this so here we go. I didn't know exactly where to post this, so mods feel free to move wherever or just yell "Repost!" and put in the appropriate link.

I've seen a few "what mechbox does my gun use?" questions, and I know a few people have probably thought "I wonder what guns use a (insert version) mechbox?" I stole and modified this list from AirsoftRepair.com, and hopefully we can fill it in and flesh it out.

Version 1 Mechbox: FA-MAS Series, L85 (V1 hybrid)

Version 2 Mechbox: Armalite Series (M4, M16, etc.), Some SR25s ("extended" V2) , G3 series, MP5 series except for MP5K

Version 3 Mechbox: G36 series, SIG series, AK series, AUG series, UMP, MP5K and MP5K-PDW, MP40

Version 4 Mechbox: PSG-1

Version 5 Mechbox: UZI

Version 6 Mechbox: M1A1, P90, P90 TR

Version 7 Mechbox: M14

Version 8 Mexhbox: TM Type 89

Most M249s use their own mechbox. (Ver 249? :p)


Any input will be edited into the original post. Thanks for the help and/or "REPOST!" and link.

Also, I didn't know ver.4 and 5 existed. Learn something new every day....

V5 is hilarious...

plastic shell... boooo

I remember there used to be a chart or something detailing the differences and advantages/disadvantages of the different mechbox designs. If you could find that it would be awesome and you could fill in a lot of info from that.

I want to say it was on mechbox.com but it probably wasn't.... maybe it was somewhere else like arnies or something.

It was, I know what chart you're talking about. I can't seem to find it on the site though.

The TM Type 89 uses a Version 8.
L85 uses a version 1 hybrid

Isnt there a V8? for that one TM gun with a reliable burst function?

The gun was a Type 89 i think

M249s use their own mechbox designs (CA+A&K have one, there's another for TOP conversions, not sure what STAR/ARES's looks like...)

Some of the full size SR25s use "extended" V2 variants.
