Can't say I've played with a CA M249 for an entire game but I have held one and quite honestly, these two guns feel "almost" the same in terms of weight. My above gun is practically full metal. It has a metal body, metal silencer, metal bipod, metal RIS units, metal aimpoint. To make it easier, the only plastic parts are the retractable stock, vert grip and PEQ unit. Heh, I'll put it on the scale tonight and see what it actually weighs. :nod:
I will agree that C-mags are pretty cheap, but they do look good. Before I was asked to do the support role on our team, I only played with an MP5 with star low caps and sometimes with my pulse rifle. =p I feel justified in being a hoser for a game or two. :lol:
*EDIT* I weighed the gun and it comes in between the 16 and 17 lb mark. Not as heavy as the M249 but still frigg'n heavy non the less.
