Description
A highly detailed 1/12 scale model kit of an M249 machine gun from Tomytec's Little Armory series! These products are perfect to arm a 1/12 scale model or figure!
The M249 is a Belgian squad support weapon (SAW) adopted by the US military in 1982. It is a firearm that can fire the same 5.56mm bullets as the main rifle M16 and M4 rifle, and can share magazines if necessary. It is more than 3 kg lighter than the conventional general-purpose machine gun M60, and has a shorter overall length, making it possible for a single soldier to operate it without the need for an ammunition assistant. The firepower of the M249 is said to be equivalent to that of 12 riflemen equipped with an M16, making it an extremely reliable weapon for infantry squads. This kit reproduces the most standard setup of the M249, which includes a long barrel, heat shield, and resin handguard and stock. The feed cover and bipod can be opened or closed. Comes with a resin box magazine that holds 200 rounds of 5.56mm belt-link bullets.
With an emphasis on reproducing the details, the parts are recreated with the real firearm in mind, and it is possible to build multiple configurations, including without optics or during field stripping.
The model comes packed on runners and molded in black and olive drab, but you can also make it look more realistic by painting to your preference.
Plastic nippers are recommended to cleanly remove accessories from their runners. Glue (sold separately) is required for assembly.
