only downside was the box magazine. I have little idea what they were thinking but I can only assume they built it out of spare parts. The mechanism all feeds perfect but Trigger Happy has put a 10mm hole in the bottom of the magazine that allows BBs to fall into a void under the magazine. When this is covered the rifle works brilliant. Using off-vehicle the weapon is long, heavy and slow to shoulder effectively, halving a player’s ability to do anything except get shot. If you can deploy it and set up, though, nothing should really be able to get near you. Again, with airsoft all the power limits are nearly the same so you are counting purely on rate of fire and the capacity of your magazine. The primary weapon is a custom-built Browning M2 .50 Cal. We had the outer shell constructed by an engineering company which put together an impressive package. For the guts we chose a Classic Army M249. It was built by Alan Lawson, head technician at Land Warrior Airsoft and no stranger to challenges.
