I had no idea these were coming out. Looks to be proper LMG gearbox as well. 

Decent price.

Allegedly NOT the S&T rebranded as it is a proper LMG box. Quite tempted by the MK46 on account of being old and knackered and my A&K M249 Para is heavy.

The only Specna LMG I can afford at the moment is this https://gunfire.com/en/products/specna-arms-sa-249-patch-1152221744.html

Doesn't look bad to be honest, not that I would every buy a LMG..

Steel parts, quick change spring, box mag.

Not bad for the price and Specna is getting a good rep these days

Plastic body with a sprinkling of metal parts - OEM'd by A&K, good review by BigBirdAirsoft:

Apologies for the slight necropost, do we know any more about these?

Likewise would be interested in any feedback regarding these? 
 

Anyone know if can alter them to fire in semi? Titan or something? Just thinking some play rules only allow semi at certain points

From the video it looks a clone of the CAM249 gearbox (PGC style). I think your mosfet options would be limited to external ones, so any semi would be timing based rather than detection of gear rotation. As far as I know, nobody makes an internal GB mosfet for the 249, but happy to learn otherwise.

Alternatively you could look at either the G&P M249 or the FN Herstal licenced versions which I believe both use V2 gearboxes - that would then open up your mosfet options to Titans, BTC Spectre, etc.

Or, even easier, just get a pistol and transition on the semi-only parts of the site...

It's OEM'd by A&K so it's their gearbox. As you say though there are no internal mosfets but you can get external ones that are programmable to give semi on initial trigger pull then auto after a short dwell. I used to use a Burst Wizard on mine for that very reason. Thing is though that apart from the (frankly rubbish) "lightweight" models an M249 (even the para version) is hugely impractical for a CQB setting purely down to the size and weight of it.

Thanks for the input. 
I go to Proving grounds quite a bit (or did..!) and it’s all woodland but there’s a huge bridge which you can only, unfortunately, shoot semi at and off of. Would be great to have a support weapon in play but lack of semi would render all benefits redundant ??‍
