Here's some pictures of KAC Stoner LMG from South Korea, which was shown in "Platoon Convention 2008" in South Korea. I am sorry but I can't find ways to post my pictures directly to this post. Here's a link.

A Manufacturer "TAG ARTS" in South Korea will soon release "Stoner LMG".

At "Platoon Convention 2008" in Seoul, South Korea, TAG ART brought their new LMG with newly-designed gearbox made by CNC process.

As you see in the picture, newly-designed mechabox seems to be essential to express LMG's unique body. (You will easily find a differrence when you compare with Airsoft Surgeon's LMG, which used "Marui Compatible" gearbox.)

However, most of internals are compatible with Marui compatible gearbox options. Upper & Lower receiver is easy to disassemble in a second.


A designer of "TAG ART" mentioned the color of samples in the picture will be changed, and minor finishing process is left for the production. Estimated release date will be 2008. May, and contracted to be sold in Japan, and HK, etc...


* The designer revealed their LMG can replace "M4" compatible stocks for customers' preferences.

I think you might be mistaken with the G&P one, wich is the only Stoner LMG i know reported off, besides ye old one by CL.
And the G&P one was the classic Nam era one iirc...

if not, then i've completely missed it...

either way, KAC/stoner LMG am good = the more the merrier

edit: just spotted the 2008 convention thing, so nevermind, looks like i missed this one

I'm hoping the price is well within the 3 digit range (as unlikely as it seems).

[Azulsky]

It was announced a while back on Airsoft News

[lin_pointer]

looks expensive

[Azulsky]

No it looks well made, which would justify a large expense for someone interested.

[Spencedaddy]

that looks like 3 or 4 paychecks right there.....whew, so sexy though

[Rogal Dorn]

How am I gonna convince my partner, that I really need one of these!

Build quality looks great!

[DarkLite]

Motor is not caged - is a la Ver2.

[Maple-Leaf]

What version of the Stoner LMG is that based on? It looks almost nothing like any one I've seen......

P.S. Oh, nevermind - I've just been to KAC's website. Alles klar.

But I'd rather see either the old version - or the Ultimax 100 LMG.

that gearbox makes me happy in the pants.

[Azulsky]

Makes me sad to know the motor is bouncing around in that handgrip. What a shame on that end

[Hispeed1]

Im going to have to agree with that statement right there.

I really dont understand why they chose to have a free floating motor. They designed a mechbox from the ground up, why not go with a caged motor ala PGC, Version 6, 3, etc.

What a shame.

What kind of problems would one expect from a free float motor? Curious.

[tweaked_tim]

I am still drooling and will be for a while now.

1) Motor alignment will need more maintenance than a caged motor.
2) Motor cages act as a heatsink, allowing more effective heat-dissipation.
3) Floating motors are actually insulated by the air and then the grip.
4) In a support weapon which will be used for long bursts, this is exceptionally important.
5) Floating motors are long-shaft motors. Short shaft motors has more torque.
