R.I.T.Z January 15th, 2011 01:46

Just ordered one here in the US from the distributor. It says it's a pre-order, but when it comes in I'll post up a review.

They actually told me they were physically in stock, so hopefully you don't have to wait too long :D.

+1. Wouldn't it be a pretty easy to hide a CO2 or propane can in a box mag?

EagleDriver January 15th, 2011 15:09

They said it should be 400 to 450 fps with a .2g BB out of the box. I don't have any idea yet on gearbox (quick change spring, is it like the M249 gearbox, etc.) I also am wondering if the box mag would have anything in common with the A&K M249 series.

ThunderCactus January 15th, 2011 15:25

Well the inokatsu is without a doubt the best built and most awesome M240 out there, and yet it still cant hit the broadside of a barn at 20 meters.....
Don't really wanna spend upwards of $2500 on an AEG and have to drop another $400 of internals into it
Atleast with the Echo M240 your not spending $3000 to make a good LMG, probably less than half that

EagleDriver January 17th, 2011 12:39

It is indeed in stock and should ship out tomorrow. I am at a customer in Boston, so I probably won't get to it until a week from today. I will post up photos and a mini review here when I do. I also picked up a Systema A to Z motor, not for the 240, but just because I wanted to know more about it.

FPS?
Rate of fire?
Weight?
general build quality?

EagleDriver January 22nd, 2011 14:50

Two springs are included. The one that came in the gun measures between 390 and 400 fps on the chrono at close to 20 rps. The other one I swapped in measures 470 to 480 fps at close to 15 rounds per second. Yes, I said *4*80! close to 8kg without BB's or battery. I charged the battery at 800 MAh because the little wall charger lists that as it's output. Batteries from the include 9.6v large are non-labeled cells (I cut the battery apart since I have lots of batteries around.)

R.I.T.Z January 22nd, 2011 14:55

whats your impressions of the build quality?
any peek inside the mechbox?
wiring?
issues that you can see coming up?
