Hey, thanks man, I won the gun from an airsoft website. Redwolf Airsoft. I made the winning intro, you can see it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1FUGIWqOrs
I was about to comment on the availability of M249 squad automatic weapons for the general public, and which part of Virginia you have to live in to obtain a license

toy weapons here aren't even allowed to be black, because they then look to authentic.. cops would [censored] a brick sideways with one of these

edit:
Q.
Does the airsoft version also take a standard 30 rnd clip, just forward of the main reciever -where the linked ammo goes?
