I bipod offers good support too. :P~

Then again, so does a bra. :confused:

How much does that beast weigh?

not too sure how to add photos, so if that didnt work, im sorry, lol

I don't remember, sold it quite awhile back.

TOP M60DX, pretty hefty weight to it. Visually quite impressive, but in reality quite underwhelming for it's size and weight.

Red Tiger hired me to assemble, upgrade and wire up (to his new boxmag) his TOP M60 a few years back, he had just bought it used and in pieces.......... talk about an interesting experience, assembling a totally different type of gun than I've worked on before (that was and remains the only TOP gun I've worked on). It had real steel flashider, stock, bipod and foregrip, the thing was a beast. I weighed it (hence my even posting this) and it was a good 26lbs!!!!!

Holy shit, 26lbs is insane.

I feel blessed my RPK is only 13/14 ish

Hey, that's what my CA M24 weighs!

Lol, when I sent the M60 back to Red Tiger, the weight was around 32lbs with the gun, boxmag, spare parts, etc. Xpress Post was about $40.

You can see I have my left elbow braced on my knee. Firing it from the shoulder was a real bitch.

The TOP design would work FLAWLESSLY from the bipod, it was set up to gravity feed the bb's towards the butt end of the gun and into some wierd clockwork gear mechanism. If you had it in any sort of muzzle down shooting position, the design worked less than ideally. That's what I mean about it being kind of underwhelming. Wiring up a box mag would have been well worth it.

Lucky for me I knew a guy who had owned a TOP M249, he did all the work on it for me.

Anyways, nowadays this is more my speed for a support weapon:

Both the drum mags were u/s, so this never really got used this past season. And as far as I am concerned, you can't be a support weapon with just a high cap. I tried it a few times, you are just another AEG. You need to have the ability to sling a lot of plastic if you are going to give support.

Anyways, both drum mags are working now.

gotta love the railed bottom sets....Cheese is using one of those bipod grips and man are those things effective!

Lol, that's awesome! BBs hitting the water really makes the scene look a lot cooler, almost like you were playing airsoft against the A-Team. :D

Bravo One-Six has an Inokatsu M60 VN Version, easily 26 pounds (ive held it) and allegedly is 380fps stock. Mmmmmmmm.
