That's what I was thinking. You'd think STAR would notice that the M60 fires a 7.62. If it turns out as well as their M249s did (looks to have more metal, so it should be better) for the cost it looks like a great gun. I would have preferred an E1, but I guess this is fine too.

[yuxi]

I'm curious what the exact real cost of it will be, since their website always seems to charge more than the HK retailers do.

Well the 5.56 cartridge belt comes free, besides, you can easily swap it, the belt is only for aesthetic purposes and it can be removed since the battery is inside the stock this time, not the box.

[Handsome Pete]

be nice if this came out in the next couple of weeks in hong kong stores

[tangman]

in the words of John Mclane "HO HO HO! I GOT A MACHINEGUN!" (or something to that effect, and maybe it should be I'm getting a machinegun....maybe I should stop rambling and look at the pictures )

[Agent47]

oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god this better have a moving charging handle or I will be slightly ######...

That's a typo, those are 7.62mm - they're way too big to be 5.56


That actually looks like a quality bit of kit. Nice one star

[nightfire6]

Well They changed it now, it says 7.62mm instead of 5.56mm.

[twiglet]

I wonder what price they will go for in the UK, probably £600 at the very least and even that would be optimistic, remember their LSW.

[-FIDO-]

am i the only one who thinks a big gun like this hould have more weight to it than an average aeg with some goddies on it?

[Hillslam]

I'm so buying one. I don't care if the performance is the same as their M249, I can fit a PCG gearbox in if I need to.

As for weight... as long as its metal and not plastic and can stand up to my neverending running into trees, walls, the ground.....

[spartan490]

MUST... resist... urge.... to buy... second... M60...

[ECRRRainman]

My god, it is beautiful, too bad im still broke!

EDIT: Am I reading it right? these are pressure switch loading boxmags? not like their M249's?

Edited by ECRRRainman, 08 June 2007 - 04:39 PM.

[Hillslam]

Yep apparently. Like the recent CAM249 1200rd cartridge pouch boxmag - it senses when compression has come off the mag winding spring to run the motor. Elegant.

[Mikkel]

This is amazing!
I really considering getting one
Maybe if the retail price is low enough.

[Sarge133]

Must resist....M60...pig...cheap...

[maccrage]

Hopefully they'll make a Vietnam version.

[ardrummer292]

Wow... this looks really promising. The plastic content isn't ridiculous, either. Daddy like.
