The M249 MKII is the American version of the Minimi machine gun, considered one of the greatest commercial successes of FN Herstal. The FN Minimi (from Mini Machine Gun) is a lightweight machine gun in 5.56x45 mm calibre, created to increase the firepower of infantry units during combat.

Original Markings

Presenting the A&K FN M249 MKII, a highly regarded replica that has become the foundation for airsoft enthusiasts. This Full Metal M249 replica in the airsoft world is not just a simple copy; it proudly features the official FN Herstal Belgian markings, authorized under the prestigious CYBERGUN license. Made with precision and attention to detail, it faithfully captures the essence of the original, offering an authentic and realistic experience.

High-Quality Partnership

Through a strategic partnership with the renowned company Taiwangun, A&K has created this replica with unmatched precision and meticulous attention to detail. Thanks to this collaboration, the FN Herstal engravings have been faithfully recreated and placed accurately on the lower part of the body and the external barrel. Importantly, the barrel markings now include caliber and twist rate, staying true to the original design. The trigger mechanism has been carefully designed to closely resemble the original and has additionally been specially modified to ensure the shortest trigger pull, allowing for fast reactions and precise shot control.

Classic Type

The electric version of the FN M249 MKII machine gun features a solid construction. Parts such as the body, grip guide, ammunition belt feeder, box latch, barrel release, transport handle, bipod, trigger guard, and all screws and pins are carefully made from steel. The top cover, barrel, bipod mount, gas block, and flash hider are made from the highest-quality metal, while the stock, pistol grip, barrel shroud, front grip, trigger block, and stock are made from synthetic materials. The MKII features a folding bipod integrated with the grip cover, allowing users to set up and shoot from a fixed position. The stock faithfully replicates the original MKII M249 polymer stock, complete with a folding shoulder support. As with the original machine gun, the A&K M249 MKII offers the option of using two types of ammunition magazines - standard M4/M16 type magazines and dedicated box magazines designed for M249 replicas.

Fully Reinforced Mechanics

At the heart of this airsoft machine gun lies a fully metal, reinforced M249 gearbox, carefully designed to withstand prolonged and continuous support fire. The gearbox features a convenient quick spring change system. The gearbox is fitted with a complete set of reinforced 18:1 gears on 8mm ball bearings, ensuring smooth operation and delivering 20 rounds per second. The replica's compression and seal system is achieved with a CNC-formed aluminium piston and cylinder head, equipped with a double-sealed cylinder head with a thick Sorbothane pad and a ball-bearing piston head. A&K particularly emphasizes the details when modifying the replica, introducing a modified microswitch for a faster and more responsive trigger. Another key element is the upgraded hop-up unit, featuring a new rubber and a special omega nub as standard for improved range and accuracy.
