Shirly Cai of Shirley Toy sends us photos of the latest China-made AEGs. The photo above is an M240B general purpose machine gun which has a heat shield and picatinny rails. The photo below is the M240G which is modified for USMC purposes and comes without the heat shield. The engineer formerly was from Jing Gong so you might notice some Jing Gong style stuff there.
Don't take our word for it as the image sent in by Echo1 USA Airsoft is hazy enough to make a final confirmation if indeed it is an M240B. You might say it is an M249, but Echo1 has already released their own versions of that support weapon. But it makes us look into the M240B as it is the heavier cousin of the M249, thus you'll notice the lines something similar to the M249. Said to be better than the M60, it has performed well supporting troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Big gun for Big Boys, the Trigger Happy M240B is available at Airsoft Extreme... "The long coveted airsoft version of the M240 General Purpose Machine Gun is now available. This 7.62mm caliber machine gun was developed in Belgium in the 1950’s and has since been adopted as the standard GPMG by over 20 countries.
WGC Shop informed us via email that they have the Trigger Happy TH M240 Support Airsoft Gun that is very much detailed and markings are laser-etched, and the multicam Go Bag from Pantac. The TH M240 is based on the United States Machine Gun, which has been in service starting in the later part of 1970s, uses the NATO 7.62 × 51 mm NATO cartridge, and is belt-fed. This usually comes with a carry handle and bipod to help stabilise the weapon when firing.
