VFC M249 Gas Blowback Support Rifle — Full Metal Black FN Minimi Replica

VFC M249 Gas Blowback Support Rifle — Full Metal Black FN Minimi Replica

Say hello to the world’s first mass-production gas blowback M249 — the VFC M249 GBB Support Rifle in black. This beast blends modern engineering with true-to-life FN Minimi styling, giving serious airsoft players a support gun that fires with the punch and realism only a gas blowback can offer. From the signature open-bolt operation to the full field-strip capability, this isn’t just another LMG — it’s a game-changer.

Built around a lightweight aluminium alloy chassis with steel-reinforced internals, the VFC M249 strikes a balance between authentic heft and practical mobility. At just under 4kg, it’s far more wieldable than its real-steel counterpart without feeling flimsy. The polymer handguard, railed feed tray cover, full stock, and integrated bipod round out a rock-solid build that’s ready for field action — or display, if that’s your thing.

Internally, VFC has pulled out all the stops. This M249 uses a new GBB system that separates the BB magazine from the gas source. The included lightweight 100-round internal mag slots into the feed tray like the real thing, while gas is stored either in the included dummy M4 mag or via an optional box mag for extended use. This setup ensures consistent firing performance and lets you swap out gas supplies without interfering with your ammo source — brilliant for sustained firefights.

Performance is impressive. Firing at around 360fps on green gas, the blowback action is sharp, the recoil snappy, and the audio signature loud enough to make people flinch. It’s full-auto only, as you'd expect from a support platform, and the open-bolt design gives it an extra layer of realism. Pull back the charging handle, let it slam forward, and you’re ready to tear up the field. Plus, it's dry-fire capable — ideal for training or showing off that bolt cycling motion.

HOP-up adjustment has been made easy too. You don’t need to open the feed tray or dig around inside. With just a 2mm hex key, you can fine-tune your trajectory right on the body — exactly what you need when you're mid-skirmish and time matters. The realistic takedown process, from removing the quick-change barrel to opening up the receiver, is eerily close to the real steel. It’s functional and satisfying to handle — a real treat for fans of realism.

With accurate FN markings, carry handle, bipod, railed top cover, and the ability to attach a faux ammo belt (sold separately for extra immersion), this support rifle oozes authenticity. It’s intimidating, it’s loud, and it brings support gunners back into the limelight — not just as BB hose operators, but as high-skill, high-impact players running truly unique platforms.

If you’re ready to stand out on the field, and you’ve got the gas to back it up, the VFC M249 GBB is your next big move. It’s not for the faint of heart — but then again, when has a squad gunner ever been?
