Instead of bring up the the 2 month old STAR M249 topic I decided to start a new one

The instruction manual for the M249 is up and from the plans the battery is in the boxmag and the wiring is run parallel to the BB feeding tube.

Price will run at: $645 US with "2500Rd Synchronicity Box MAG"

The weight maybe mislabeled but both the MKII & Para weigh in at 3.3Kgs and thats light compaired to the CA M249s which weigh twice as much but STAR used zinc alloy instead of steel.

I do believe STAR can't spell INTERIOR

Clear Gearbox: Stock Low-Mid 300s?
Red Gearbox: Max FPS 400?
Yellow Gearbox: CQB Mid-High FPS in the 200s?
