Apoc on our team got the CA M249 and its been a blast.
gun(fully upgraded)+2 box mags+metal feed rail for around $1500
after excessive use, its still going well, chewed a piston or two but other then that, its fine. enough that 1-2 more CA M249s will be comming our way.
though, ravens TOP M249 para shoots nice too, and the sound, its fantastic. But Im sure the cost was incredible to build a gun like that.
Myself, I looking forward to seeing how the plastic internals of the star work.
btw, i cant seem to locate the star review on arnies, got a link?
edit: nvm, found the link for the review

looks like some thickass polycarbonate!
and even at that, give it a year or two and someones sure to make a metal mechbox
