S&T M249 SAW Para Version Lightweight Airsoft Rifle with Bipod – Black

The S&T M249 SAW Para Version Lightweight Airsoft Rifle in black hits that sweet spot between serious firepower and comfortable handling. If you've ever lugged around a full-metal LMG for an entire game day, you'll know just how much of a blessing this lighter polymer version is. Built using fiber-reinforced nylon polymer for the receiver, handguard, top cover, stock, and bipod, this airsoft rifle shaves off weight without feeling cheap. It’s solid where it counts, and light enough that you won’t feel like you’ve done a gym session by lunchtime.

This airsoft LMG is based on the iconic FN M249 Para, a variant developed for airborne and mobile units. The look? Spot on. The feel? Surprisingly nimble for a support gun. It weighs in at just 3.7kg (around 8.15 lbs), making it way more manageable than the all-metal versions, especially during longer engagements or when you’re holding down a flank.

Under the hood, you've got a Version 2 metal gearbox—a smart move by S&T. It’s not only compatible with the Marui M4 system (making upgrades and repairs a breeze), but it’s also got lipoly-ready components right out of the box. That means you can run an 11.1v LiPo and really let it rip. Oh, and the quick-change spring system? That’s a game-changer. Switch out the spring in minutes to meet site FPS limits or tailor your setup for CQB or outdoor play.

Firing-wise, this airsoft AEG holds its own. You’re getting a rotary dial hop-up system tucked under the top cover—super easy to access and dial in your range and accuracy. It’s one of those things that just works, and it’s satisfying to fine-tune. Pair that with the ~340mm inner barrel and you’ve got some pretty accurate suppressive fire going on. Great for keeping heads down or locking down corridors.

One of the best touches? Magazine compatibility. No need for proprietary box mags if you don’t want ‘em—this beast accepts all M4/M16 AEG mags. That means you can swap mags with teammates or use the gear you already have. Of course, if you prefer the authentic support gun feel, it’s also compatible with A&K-style drum magazines. Options galore.

The front RIS rail setup gives you loads of flexibility for mounting accessories—throw on a grip, torch, or optic to suit your role. The fixed Mk2-style stock feels solid and stable when firing from a prone position or behind cover, and the integrated folding bipod is a nice touch for that classic SAW setup.

Performance-wise, it clocks in at around 315–320 FPS out of the box. That’s skirmish-ready for most UK sites. Firing mode is full-auto only (plus safety), which is exactly what you want from a support role gun. Trigger response is solid, especially with that 30K RPM high-speed motor backing it up.

All in all, the S&T M249 Para is a dependable, practical airsoft machine gun that doesn’t bog you down. It gives you all the firepower and presence of a support weapon, without breaking your back—or your bank. For squad players and support gunners looking for a lightweight LMG that won’t let you down, this one’s worth a serious look.
